  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 I have asked you guys to sort it repeatedly and it’s never fixed. Your advice was ‘use 3g’ but even that doesn’t work. :( I have been with you guys for 14 years and im disappointed you haven’t fixed my problem

  • _chris_a Chris (@_chris_a) reported from Manchester, England

    As if the network congestion issues in many parts of the country weren't bad enough @O2 have excelled themselves with dire customer service agents. I'm named on my husband's account but one agent shouted at me you only deal with the account holder and then hung up.

  • MKTINGW1Z Rami El-Boghdadly (@MKTINGW1Z) reported from Hindley, England

    So @EE launched their 5G network. While on the other side @O2 have not only announced a date but we sometimes barely get 3G in major towns and cities across the UK. Can’t wait for my contract to run out to switch providers

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia that was extremely good service by your customer service team. Thank you very much for all your help. Maybe you could give some advice to @o2

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    Day 2 of Trying to get @O2 to understand what domestic abuse and financial abuse is! @MarkEvansO2 Mark I think you need to pull your finger out your ass and look at the state of your company your running! All your contact centres are run by shitty capita! Your a horrible company

  • MDOG_Manchester Manchester Dining Offers (@MDOG_Manchester) reported from Manchester, England

    @hellofawaytodie @O2 There’s a mast down though

  • yannickmcosta Yannick McCabe-Costa (@yannickmcosta) reported from Stockport, England

    @NatWest_Help @Scott_Helme Sure. Problem is there is no MSISDN associated to this text, it's just a string with "BankAlert"so without help from @O2 to trace the originator, not much to do. Same with calls from unallocated numbers. You could contact @Equinix / Telecity to whom that IP range is allocated.

  • Archaonday Chiara Oxley (@Archaonday) reported from Wigan, England

    The @O2 seem to think that this is an acceptable way to deal with this situation. Poor customer service all round it seems #beware #unsafe #ItTakesOneMoment #Manchester all over again.

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

  • pammie02 Pam Nunn (@pammie02) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 How is the quickest ans easiest way to make a complaint!! 😡

  • cholloway92 Chris (@cholloway92) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 @TalkTalk can’t believe the farce of Talk Talk telling my Dad to move to O2 then 10 days later O2 telling us to call Talk Talk over issues with the PAC code and Talk Talk telling us to call O2 instead. Been on the phone for over an hour tonight and got nowhere! Sort it out!

  • RichardHesketh1 Richard Hesketh (@RichardHesketh1) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 We have performed FFR necessarily, as this problem has persisted over three phones. This is an issue of inherited number. Very weird. We've been in touch with the previous user and they are aware. Changed their details etc. It's still happening.

  • thejimirving Jim Irving (@thejimirving) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh, of course, I’m in the middle of a major city, it makes sense that my @O2 service would be completely useless.

  • michelle2570 Michelle❤#TeamChester❤#TeamLinkinPark (@michelle2570) reported from Walkden, England

    @chrisstyles44 @O2 I honestly feel truly sorry for all the 02 customers who haven't heard anything about their new mobile phone delivery, that should arrive today! It's so UNFAIR! The 02 Purchase Team have totally messed up! They never checked the phones' actually stocks for reordering in time! 😠

  • pathookway patricia hookway (@pathookway) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 please can you help not happy at all

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    trying to get a credit off @o2 is an absolute nightmare, 3 months they have been promising it’ll be in my account! Fuming!🤬 Worse customer service ever! I can see me getting away this long with not paying my bill! Worse than useless!

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 as a victim of domestic abuse I would thought O2 would be more understanding and helping customers who experienced financial abuse as well if domestic abuse! I haven’t received any of that from you! Horrible nasty network! #Poorcustomerservice @bbcthree @MarkEvansO2

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Middleton, England

    Well my opinion of @O2 has just (to quote a word used so many times by O2) “escalated” from bad to absolutely useless!

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 @o2 You don’t want to help enough unfortunately! Started off well, then ended up worse than the telephone customer services! Hope no one needs a refund anytime soon, if you do, good luck with that!

  • jordanbuckley92 Jordan Tui Lolahea (@jordanbuckley92) reported from Manchester, England

    Sick of never getting service with @o2 didn’t move to these to deal with this shite daily!! Pissed off
