    @tescomobile Don’t promise to callback a customer on four consecutive days and never actually do it. That’s not what promise means.

  • LDMExpert ldm.expert (@LDMExpert) reported

    @tescomobile Pooja on webchat tells me there is a mast down in my area PL7 4PY but o2 service status reports all ok - who do I believe? Lots of "not registered on network" errors on my phone

  • bexrippon bex rippon (@bexrippon) reported

    What’s going on with @tescomobile coverage at present? been with them for 7 years & never had a prob but for last 2 weeks I get no signal when out. It’s so frustrating as I need my phone for work. Recommend other networks with good coverage in the NW? #Mobilenetwork #mobilecover

  • MrClement17 Mr Clement (@MrClement17) reported

    @tescomobile She has been waiting for an e-mail with instructions since yesterday afternoon... still nothing and zero signal; she is now regretting to switch from EE for the sack of more gigabytes (which she cannot use for last 2 weeks). Disappointed indeed

  • BenWinterburn Ben Winterburn (@BenWinterburn) reported from Leeds, England

    @tescomobile I have recently upgraded my sim only contract. I asked to keep the same number and was ensured this would happen. Instead my old number has been disconnected which is the complete opposite of what I asked for. This has been terrible service. Please get in touch.

  • lynne47148307 lynne (@lynne47148307) reported

    @tescomobile 40 mins on the phone to upgrade phone. Cut off , not called back . You really do have the WORST customer care. #terriblecustomerservice

  • julesserkin jules serkin (@julesserkin) reported

    @lyndsay_hopkins @VodafoneUK I was with Tesco o2 but the signal was awful - I’m on sea front - @tescomobile

  • davegrainger gravedanger (@davegrainger) reported

    @tescomobile deleted my number over a week ago. I’ve called everyday to check progress. They promised to callback on four occasions - Never have. Now told me they can’t get number back until 13th April. I work for myself. My clients use this number. Should I

  • CarlMalkin6 Carl Malkin 💙 (@CarlMalkin6) reported

    @tescomobile I have been trying without success to update my bank information for payments for a week. The problem is the shady company you use to process payments "Mi-Pay Ltd" who can't even spell in English. They don't wish to be contacted directly as their email box is "full".

  • BenWinterburn Ben Winterburn (@BenWinterburn) reported from Askham Richard, England

    @tescomobile I look forward to receiving a full explanation of how this has happened and hopefully a resolution to keep the sane number as requested.

  • mev202 You and me, we are destined you'll agree. Bijou. (@mev202) reported

    @tescomobile I am so so desperately disappointed with how terrible your phone signal is. I can't use my phone at home and it has been months now. I try and make calls and it just drops, I want to leave, but my contract has months on it. It is useless.

  • stephenharris8 stephen harris (@stephenharris8) reported

    @tescomobile DM sent requires urgent attention as pay monthly customer

  • CarlMalkin6 Carl Malkin 💙 (@CarlMalkin6) reported

    @tescomobile There is no point in more DMs. I have communicated with 5 chat people in India, your Twitter team for 5 hours, called on the phone and been into a store. The problem is Mi-Pay Ltd. You need to change to a reputable company.

  • MarkPapst Mark Papst (@MarkPapst) reported

    @tescomobile I did not cancel you did , but I did not select a refund day . When will I get my money back .also deal was available when I ordered it

  • johnsimpson22 John Simpson (@johnsimpson22) reported

    @tescomobile I need help.... I PAID for an early upgrade, but cannot use my new phone until my 'older' contract runs out, which isnt for 10 more days? However everything has been switched to my new number on my new phone.... very frustrating!!!

  • Mattlock23 Matt Rogers (@Mattlock23) reported

    @tescomobile No, still the same issue.
