  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 why am I receiving a text message today telling me you were unable to process my payment? When it was taken yesterday from my bank account!!! It seems to be one thing after another with your service lately!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Done, but I'm not expecting you to tell me there is a problem when this has been like this since I moved to the area 9 month ago

  • sammyjayne182 Sam Dugdale (@sammyjayne182) reported from Stalmine, England

    Only me would buy a new sim for a network provider who doesn’t seem to have signal in my house 🙈 @O2 doesn’t seem to do rural addresses 🌱

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Having to restrict my mobile to @o2 3G service because the 4G is absolutely shocking. And #o2 keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the service!!! Can't be me who is the liar as I'm getting nothing through my mobile!!!

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 what’s going on with your network around the Bb2 area of blackburn? Had poor signal for several days but according to you you’ve either fixed it or there is no issues. #rubbish #needsignal

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 No you can't help because you haven't been able to help for the past 6 month whilst I have had this problem

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 can i ask what 4G speed your network should be giving out to the 99% of the UK you advertise.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    I have had to lower my @O2 mobile network mode to #3G because the reception around here for anything higher is next to nothing. Have complained about this in the past and go not further communication, quite fitting really to have no communication when it comes to signal.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Your service is rubbish. Tried calling but can't get through u less I'm reporting a fraud or lost or stolen phone. Someone please answer!!! I'm getting sick of your rubbish service!!!

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @O2 I am so upset with how I haven’t been helped by you .... you have left me in a worst situation .... Getting told different thing by each customer service member ... and to top it off having a member of your team hang up on me ..... Disgusting ....

  • Treaders1984 Michael Treadwell (@Treaders1984) reported from Penwortham, England

    @O2 why is the mobile data signal so poor in Preston and the surrounding areas?!? Got a text to say you were improving the sigbal in our area and ever since its veen worse! #no4gor3g #20GBwasted

  • davepakey71 Dave Pakeman (@davepakey71) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 last week had to threaten to leave after 15years as a customer to get 100gb for £20 now I see your adverts for the deal😡

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Can I not ring? I have messaged on here loads of times in the past and nothing gets done! Plus my partner is having the same issues as me and we are getting sick of paying for a service we are not receiving

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @atkin_julie @O2 I have had the same issues.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    So glad I have @bt wifi at home because @o2 mobile broadband is terribly slow around here.

  • Is_Me_Ben Ben Winstanley (@Is_Me_Ben) reported from Aspull, England

    @O2 incorrectly charge £XXX to our bank account. Admit this was done in error. We have to wait until 6th Jan 2021 before it can be refunded. Even then, we can to call back to request it on the day. Why do we put up with this type of customer service??

    @O2 I have been an @o2 customer for 20 odd years, I have always done what you suggest but nothing ever seems to work, apart from when you sent me out a signal booster one time. Always thought o2 would get better but it doesn't.

  • Natalie_Sharpp Natalie Sharp 🇬🇧🇳🇬 🌱🌻 (@Natalie_Sharpp) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 Can somebody help me I’m trying to get a live chat up and nothing is working! My phone won’t make any calls it’s just silent when it rings and it’s the same when somebody tries ringing me !!!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 This has no effect on my issue.

  • Donnasgilly Donna Gillians (@Donnasgilly) reported

    @parkz1892 @O2 Im 3 weeks almost. I’ve seen some people are 6 weeks plus so I’m really not hopeful of the 4 week estimate I was given. Wish I went with another network now. Anyone that goes over the 4 weeks should be given a form of compensation @O2

  • Warren24Liam Liam Warren (@Warren24Liam) reported

    @O2 when is the mast going to be fixed?? No signal or 4g,5g since Monday???

  • lillybet2021 Lilybet (@lillybet2021) reported

    @O2 Why are you insisting customers move to DD payments yet provide no way of doing this online so we have to sit in a 15 min phone queue? Also, I'm not paying 2 consecutive device plans for the 3 handsets on my account because your system is crap. Not moving to DD as a result.

  • nickeaglephoto Nick Eagle (@nickeaglephoto) reported

    @O2 absolutely awful customer service and its not good enough.

  • alexrollsuk Alex Rolls (@alexrollsuk) reported

    @O2 My contract renewal phone some how being delivered to my old address. Called Monday. Advised delivered Tuesday. Called Tuesday. Advised delivered today. DPD still showing "Your parcel is held in our depot" in the wrong city. Can someone please fix this for me?

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @bapster185185 @O2 @bapster185185 That happens to me as well. Was it the agent who dropped the line or is it a connection issue?

  • AneeshVarma Aneesh Varma (@AneeshVarma) reported

    @MrsJenWebb @O2 Hmmm. This seems to be a bigger issue then?!?! Did you have to ring them up?

  • CoombesCars Coombes Cars (@CoombesCars) reported

    @O2 And there was me thinking it’s just me with a substandard service from @O2 with constant mast issues. Twice this week already and it’s only Wednesday. I wouldn’t advertise your brand from the comments in this thread if I were you.

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @ChildAnastasia @O2 @ChildAnastasia I completely and utterly agree with you O2’s customer services is a actual joke.

  • laurajayne_A Laura (@laurajayne_A) reported

    @O2 Hi, I moved into our new house nearly 5 weeks ago and have no cellular connection (I believe due to a local broken mast). Guarantees of fixes are continually delayed. Please can you provide latest update and also confirm applicable refunds for lack of service until fixed.
