    So annoyed with @O2 - because I never signed up for marketing and have their app, they have billed me for an inactive account for over a year. Customer services were unhelpful 😢 I’ll be changing phone provider when my contract is up

    Hi @O2. Your website says there aren’t any problems in my area but I can’t make outbound calls. I don’t know if I can receive them. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone but no luck. I’m trying to work from home but I can’t make any calls.

  • GaryLiverpool Gary (@GaryLiverpool) reported from Liverpool, England

    Over an hour cut off 5 times from @O2 I know you’re operating a reduced contact centre but this is such a bad customer experience with poor options on your IVR system that result in the female robot saying “thanks for calling O2 goodbye” without even getting any help or an agent

  • goalie310 Goalie310🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 (@goalie310) reported from Liverpool, England

    @MartinSLewis @o2 Martin been asking O2 questions regarding dormant policy on contracts after they’d been taking 7 years worth off a pensioner and only came to attention on his death. They say 12 months back pay, now not after the money just want change to this activity, any help

  • davidbowes80 Dave the deccy (@davidbowes80) reported from St Helens, England

    After being with @O2 for 20 years I left because the coverage was terrible moved to @ThreeUK stupidly signed a 2 year deal and the coverage is absolutely shocking vem worse than O2 I think you should sort your network out before trying 5g #notgettingwhatipayfor

  • MixedMagicWoman Teresa Fowler (@MixedMagicWoman) reported

    @O2 Addy is sorted now. Mum&Dad need smaller sims so they can use the Doro smartphones they got from you a while ago. Acct is mum's name. Last time we phoned, she could not remember security answers so no help was given. Any other way to request new sims for both numbers on acct?

  • iamneilpearce Neil P (@iamneilpearce) reported

    @O2 I was wondering if you had any plans to introduce a service worthy of this century. Truly abysmal. Hardly get a service at home in London. In Bournemouth now, might as well not take the phone out.

  • AjConvict AjConvict (@AjConvict) reported

    @O2 having a slight issue with a phone mast removed in my area so i’ve have had no service for a while now. Any help with this please? 🤞

  • DamianFry1 Damian_Fry (@DamianFry1) reported

    @O2 So someone I know is having issues as their number has been cloned, just wondering what's going on? Not sure why it's happened, could you check it out, They've been getting calls and texts from annoyed people all over the country, It's really wearing them down. #bestnetwork?

  • womersjuliette Juliette (@womersjuliette) reported

    Wondering when I'm actually gonna be able to use my phone outside of WiFi areas.....what am I even paying for?! @O2 . Fed up of it now. No service since Wednesday eve. Not good enough

  • ellzzer Elle Hitchens (@ellzzer) reported

    @O2 at our wits end. No one can help us and as a result of a clerical error on your end regarding a bill for 20 quid - our mortgage application is rejected. No one is responding to us. No department can help #screwed @MoneySavingExp any tips on how to get help??

  • Andy_Aech Andy Aech (@Andy_Aech) reported

    @O2 I can’t seem to log into myo2 on your website. I need help with my contract sim please.

  • MixedMagicWoman Teresa Fowler (@MixedMagicWoman) reported

    @O2 No...lol. My mum is in hospital. She cannot visit a shop and may never be able to if she goes into a home. What do I do now??

  • CarlyxMc Carly (@CarlyxMc) reported

    @O2 Your staff member has just told us while thinking of upgrading that if we hit the spending cap we wouldn’t be able to dial emergency services. When I questioned why as this is normally a free number she said it doesn’t apply to contracts with a cap on them.

  • princessnas Nasreen (@princessnas) reported

    @O2 Yes I can use the telephone to make callls (albeit with very poor signal ) but when I’m outside of wifi no emails/WhatsApp/signal/apps work. I’ve tried all the usual hacks and rebooting- am completely at a loss.
