Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, Wales(4/4) ...as being the fault of an automated system, without any recompense or any attempt to suggest that they can improve, is horrifying. I feel almost constantly threatened, intimidated, and abused by @O2 due to an issue that they caused, and they are making no attempt to fix.

Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales@RobBruceK @ThreeUK @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK No awful. Just spent 5 days with no data/calls due ti Insufficient bandwidth. My family and friends who were with O2/BT/Vodaphone had no problems. Worst ever. So regret leaving previous provider last month. Their coverage checker is inaccurate too

Lela Patterson (@PattersonLela1) reported from Barry, WalesHi @O2. If you received a notification that a sound was played from my phone, please don’t worry. I was just testing out the Find My app on my iPhone, as I’ve never used it before, so I just wanted to check it out and see how it worked. Thank you and sorry. :)

Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales@O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

-
Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, WalesIf it wasn't for all the free benefits I got with @O2 Priority, I'd ditch them. Their #CustomerService is abysmal. It's like being in some weird kind of abusive relationship: "we'll treat you like **** but give you lots of free stuff so you'll want to stay with us" 🙄😡

-
Cat Peters (@CatTPeters) reported from Penarth, Wales@O2 come on please! I’ve now spoken to 3 people and now been out on hold for almost an hour. Unbelievable customer service. I literally just need the PAC code.
-
Daniel Lyddon (@Daniel_Lyddon) reported from Cardiff, Wales(2/4) ...from @o2 dated TWO DAYS after the issue was, I was told, cleared up. A call to #O2 #AccessForYou this afternoon shows the issue is cleared up and the letters are auto-generated because payments can take up to 48hrs to register with O2...
-

Carl Eardley (@CarlEardley2) reported@O2 @MarQusRomelle The app is dreadful. I’m trying to pay this morning and it’s horrible. I didn’t realise apps could be built this poorly in 2026…
-
Dan Jones (@DanJones2012) reported@O2 He’s just sent me an email saying his phones not working properly now, said all the writing has turned into a different language, have you cut him off?
-
Sean W (@Sean_Bahamut) reported@O2 I'm having a nightmare with your support on the phone. O2 are still trying to charge £22.99 for XBox Gamepass Ultimate despite Microsoft dropping the price on 21st Apr to £16.99
-
Joe Maw (@MawJoe) reported@O2 your service has been terrible since you amalgamated with Virgin I’ve had my security locked on my account despite several phone calls promising to unlock. This was caused by believe it or not, me wanting to spend money with o2z. Since then I’ve been charged twice for a bill
-
Tsering Passang (@tsamtruk) reported@O2 doesn’t take customer complaints seriously. Reported potential data breach and fraudulent case multiple times. If there is no meaningful resolution in the next five days I have to formally report it to the @Ofcom.
-
Nathan Jarvis (@NathanJarvisMD) reported@O2 can you please explain why O2 coverage is pretty much awful anywhere you go? You claim it’s good, but often there’s no internet access and phone signal is intermittent. Search on here to see so many people saying the same. Been the same for well over a year
-
Sean W (@Sean_Bahamut) reported@O2 You've clarified, but not helped. This reply is not helpful at all. Your support staff also had no idea about this situation, or how to handle it. All they could do as a solution was terminate game pass subscription before my minimum 6 month period had finished. Not good enough
-
Eve (@utopianluvr) reported@arokorol @O2 Upset about the truth huh? Too damn bad. You are lucky to be have set foot on Palestinian soil. Greedy greedy entitled for nothing.
-
Cal (@Calh48) reported@mhewson_MCH @O2 Especially as the service is absolutely shocking. Go into a city centre and can’t connect to anything. Ifnindidntnhave WiFi at home I’d never get anything - 4 calls this morning from people not one came through but got a text to say I’d missed the call…….

Resurgence | Conservative Libertarian Voice (@UK_Resurgence) reported@RichardGCorbett Switch to 02. Competitive pricing, good service and free data roaming in Europe. The rest will soon twig and offer the same… @O2
