  • SLThomas99 Sara Thomas (@SLThomas99) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 - 2nd time got through to Customer Services rep Neil Clarke. Excellent service and very informative. A credit to your team and he could certainly have taught the first guy something. Please try to reduce hold times though took me nearly 2 hours in total 😬

  • AnnielizzieSten Annie (@AnnielizzieSten) reported from Sheffield, England

    Hi @O2 I have no complaints about your service but if you advertise on GB News I will immediately change my mobile phone provider #DontFundGBNews

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 I’d rather deal with your fraudulent practises publicly. I only just woke up and expect immediate support, given my sleep disorder it would be very bad for you to not accommodate me at this time.

  • snation85 Sam (@snation85) reported from Upton, England

    @O2 any chance someone can help. Had a new sim delivered. It’s saying sim not provisioned. Can’t call anyone. And your online chat service isn’t available

  • maxdurkin Max Durkin (@maxdurkin) reported from Sheffield, England

    Great service from @O2 quick to respond and sort out a deal which saved me 25% on airtime due to who I work for 👍🏼

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 It’s not in stock for anyone, how about you reply to some other people that DM’ed you over the same issue? The incompetence here is staggering.

  • goonie2008 Andrew Lee (@goonie2008) reported from Sheffield, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Its definitely you lot Robin as your broadband service was a disgrace when I moved to you and I had to pay out for cancelling contract early. If this is what’s to come O2 then you will a customer of over 15 years.

  • MarsKathy Kathy (@MarsKathy) reported from Wakefield, England

    @O2 hi. Is there a problem with the QR code or number today for the Greggs offer? Local Greggs had error code so no breakfast roll!!

  • barnsleysime Barnsley Sime: DJ. (@barnsleysime) reported from Barnsley, England

    i give up with @O2 online help. all i need to know is, can i buy an apple watch and connect it to my existing simo contract? (using iphone X) all it says is it has to be a "monthly contract". the simo is an 18 month one. HELP!

  • atwal_brice Michael Atwal-Brice He/Him (@atwal_brice) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 terrible signal in s63 areas is a mask down or something?

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 It’s an issue for everyone, not just me. Either delist it from your website as it’s obviously not in stock. It still says next day delivery right now. That’s 100% fraud. I demand to deal with it publicly.

  • LukeA8 Luke (@LukeA8) reported from Barnsley, England

    @O2 Saying there’s now a mast down but it’s useless normally anyway. Terrible.

  • theandycooke Andy (@theandycooke) reported from Barnsley, England

    @O2 On the commute into Sheffield I had issues with signal, at time went to 3G (I can’t remember the last time I saw 3G with @EE). I also had some signal issues whilst at work in the centre of Sheffield & didn’t once achieve a 5G signal.

  • SLThomas99 Sara Thomas (@SLThomas99) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 A very mixed service today. Nearly lost the will to live after being on hold for 27 mins then being put on hold and cut off - your first representative didn't even bother to call us back - do you know how frustrating that is! Another 35 mins on hold and finally got through!

  • GlennJHarris Glenn (@GlennJHarris) reported from Sheffield, England

    @O2 how do I cancel an order that I’ve made

  • n1cky_snape Nicky (@n1cky_snape) reported from Horbury, England

    @O2 Currently trying to cancel my contact. Tried numerous times and there are never advisors available online. Call waiting time is minimum 45 minutes! I am going to have to pay extra on my contact if I cannot get through due to your poor systems!

  • srounce Shane Rounce (@srounce) reported from Sheffield, England

    @JordKnowles @O2 They aren’t restocking till late January. Confirmed via phone support. Beyond annoyed.

  • JPerlstrom jill perlstrom-wright (@JPerlstrom) reported from Barnsley, England

    @O2 have spent most of day trying to sort my NHS discount - system does not recognise my work email and not keen on sending wage slip details - online and phone contacts not working out - please can you help?

  • theandycooke Andy (@theandycooke) reported from Barnsley, England

    Really glad I managed to leave @O2 and go back to @EE. They said they couldn’t guarantee signal on the 🚂 dropping me down to E like it’s 2005! But I’m here with 5G on EE! #Signal #Connectivity

  • Hamera_Ahmed HA (@Hamera_Ahmed) reported from Dewsbury, England

    @O2 Trying to cancel my Bolt on, as I hardly ever use it! No option to do this on my app. Please help

    @O2 O2 I’m not being funny but I actually need your help on this. It’s been hours since I contacted you 😮 you are literally replying to people from 44 mins ago.

  • jdmusicdevon jdmusicdevon (@jdmusicdevon) reported

    @O2 It is poor. Time and time again.

  • JamesRoberts330 James Roberts (@JamesRoberts330) reported

    Hey @O2 how long is it normally between a new mast being erected and it being turned on and active? There’s a new mast gone up by my house (after Feb 2022) showing that it’s 5G but there’s no 5G in my area on the coverage map so it’s still not working yet. Thanks. James #O2 #O2UK

  • MarysiaT Marysia Trembecka (@MarysiaT) reported

    @O2 2/2 Vodafone are saying they cant access it as port is done in full, no issues their end. o2 are saying they waiting on vodafone - they emailed 16/2 - I am stuck in the middle now with no text msgs for 4 days.. and no way to verify bank statements, chrome and apps such as uber.

  • sneakerguy888 Sneakerguy888 (@sneakerguy888) reported

    @O2 hi can you help me with data roaming? I am getting error could not activate mobile data. I have iphone xs with latest os update. I am in czech right now! Please help. Urgent!

  • dansmiith04 Dan (@dansmiith04) reported

    @O2 your customer service is absolute cheeks

  • Kensington18 Sarah (@Kensington18) reported

    @O2 shocking service - despite your customer service advisors saying they will ring back in an hour still sat here waiting 4 hours later still waiting! Still no access to phone - how difficult is it to unblock an account/SIM

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 95 of 365 on trying to get O2 to fix their phone customer service. 1) If you ring and ask for an e-sim for an Apple Watch then good luck with that. Staff seem very untrained. 2) Calls disconnect too much when speaking on 202. 3) The whole IVR system feels dated.

  • nomdecuisine Alex (@nomdecuisine) reported

    Amusingly, when I called @O2 to report the fraud attempt, the call centre 'droid was interested only in checking that my account hadn't been compromised, and was entirely uninterested in taking details of the fraud attempt to correlate against the network equipment's audit logs.

  • msubani__ CHI. (@msubani__) reported

    @o2 do you people actually work over there? I’m not even tweeting for a response. I just want publicly declare how useless and wotless this company is when it comes to customer service and urgent matters. I would’ve been stranded today if not for public transport wi-fi.
