    @O2 Is there an online platform that I can speak with somebody with regards to a complaint about the shocking service I have received I would call them the customer service department but more like customer I don’t care would be more apt

    @TheO2 I wouldn’t attend any venue associated with this **** network @o2 the reason they are able to sponsor you is because of revenue and theft from illegally withholding funds from customers like myself and failure to meet their own complaint timescales @TelefonicaUK

  • 1985Pete Pete (@1985Pete) reported from Crewe, England

    Is anyone else having network and mobile data issues? As soon as I leave WIFI I get “no service” instead of O2 and “E” for connectivity. At a push I get a low signal and very poor 3G. Raised it with O2 online support but impossible to speak to anyone about it ATM @O2 @Apple

  • RedgraveLancs Meg 🌈 (@RedgraveLancs) reported

    Why do I never have internet when I’m not on WiFi @O2 ? Since buying my new iPhone (16) service has been beyond shocking. 5G usually connects for a few seconds before dipping out, I end up with 3G if I’m lucky (which obviously doesn’t work at all). Really need to change provider

  • linnington poohbey (@linnington) reported

    Customer service with @O2 is awful - avoid! Asked high street shop to cancel a short-term rolling contract months ago... just discovered they never stopped billing me. Now cannot complain via app (painful delay), phone (painful delay) nor website (link is broken). Shameful.

  • Jeeves_UK James (@Jeeves_UK) reported

    @O2 going to cancel 3 contracts with yourselves. Random £92 in charges on my account. 30 mins on hold to a manager and still not resolved. Avoid this network and get out whilst you still can.

  • Douglas50xx Stuart (@Douglas50xx) reported

    @O2 customer service is poor and why is there issues with the app

  • lukeradams21 luke adams (@lukeradams21) reported

    @O2 Ok so I had a security phone call and the woman on the phone approved it and pushed the order through and told me to log back in after an hour to accept some terms and conditions to generate the order but I can't see it on my o2 account? Please help? Lol

  • SF6Guru Dave (@SF6Guru) reported

    Hi @O2, are your billing systems down? I paid some money on my account early this morning but it's not showing up yet, which is unusual.

  • nicobacker Nicolas Backer (@nicobacker) reported
