    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

    @O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • JonnyGravel

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

    @O2 can you refund me my monthly payment as all the masts in wigan are down and have been for weeks....thanks

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • AdnyNichols
    Andy Nichols (@AdnyNichols) reported from Horwich, England

    @O2 Hi i changed my contract with you last Wednesday and have been waiting for a delivery order reference KMM2134901340I15977L0KM. It has not arrived yet can you help please.

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Gsd1Omara
    Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

    Appaling service from @O2 - on phone for nearly only to be cut off and not called back

  • Jonny_Ham

    25+ years with @O2 BT Cellnet, finally had enough, signal absolutely shocking, totally gone down the pan.

  • Arfurgolf
    Rod Clarke (@Arfurgolf) reported

    @O2 why are your customer services refusing to replace a brand new 16 day old iPhone 17 . It’s faulty and they are making life very difficult. Worst customer care ever.

  • TapperJosephine
    Josephine (Josie) Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported

    @O2 I have had no reliable service in my home for over 4 months, and it’s getting worse. What are my options?

  • Sarahleighstevs
    Sarah Leigh (@Sarahleighstevs) reported

    @O2 I emailed my complaint to you. You responded by asking me to complete the complaint form as the email is not monitored. I’ve completed the complaints form but it’s not working and there is a constant error message. Pretty much sums up your customer service!!!

  • wozwebs
    wozwebs (@wozwebs) reported

    @Jonny_Ham @O2 I was the same. With them since Cellnet but I gave up 3 years ago as it was getting worse and worse. Went with EE and never looked back, miles better

  • Groundhopperno1
    RichardAngell (@Groundhopperno1) reported

    @O2 After 25 years as a customer, I’ve discovered the hardest part isn’t getting a mobile signal- it’s making a complaint. Broken forms, unmonitored complaint emails, missed promises, no updates and a 28-day wait for a response. Quite remarkable customer service.

    @TomTugendhat @O2 Hi we had issues with O2 which was our Business Mobile supplier. There are coverage maps available, we checked them and found better coverage with EE. We tried a spare mobile first which was better, then changed to EE. Works well as we have two locations Wales and Southwest.

    @Marooned_Sailor @O2 @Ofcom the issue with mmwave is whilst the bands were recently auctioned, theres another thing stopping the mmwave rollout which doesnt even have anything to do with the carriers, device manufacturers keep making it US exclusive, with international models not having it, so then the carriers dont build the infrastructure, so then the companies dont ship mmwave hardware, and it just goes in circles i dont think we'll ever have mmwave in this country at this rate
