  • JoyC93811523 Jo Frances (@JoyC93811523) reported

    @tescomobile It has always been bad but today has become worse!

  • GlamRUsHair1 Lisa Straughn (@GlamRUsHair1) reported

    @tescomobile appalling service!I add my son to my account, get him a new contract with a new SIM & then I have issues porting his number over. Get in contact with customer services to help me sort out. Then find out that Tesco transferred his number to my sim-so Iv lost my number

  • ValentinLewis12 Valentin Lewis (@ValentinLewis12) reported

    @tescomobile @PrivacyMatters I had same problem with Tesco mobile,Tesco run on O2 network,I have 3 year contract with them they cancelled my SIM contact but I still have to pay for the Phone 🫤 I'm with voxi mobile now run by Vodafone

  • artvandalay10 The Round Headed Kid (@artvandalay10) reported

    @tescomobile shambolic customer services. First send me a phone I haven't ordered, then charge me for insurance I haven't taken out, then nobody to deal with the issues.

  • st_tattersall Sara (@st_tattersall) reported

    @tescomobile you have a very inadequate and incompetent customer care team!. I've had an ongoing issue with my account for three months now and I still can't get someone to contact me!. Why aren't managers available when you ring to resolve issues?

  • moran181967 Michael Moran (@moran181967) reported

    @tescomobile Having problems topping up my mobile this morning I got a message saying there is a problem with the system. I've called customer care twice and it should be customer don't care. I was even asked to try to top up later. No money on phone Really disappointed.

  • Tom_brs Tom S (@Tom_brs) reported

    @tescomobile Do you know if the Pixel 6 can connect to 5G on your network?

  • mikestrubel Michael Strubel (@mikestrubel) reported

    @tescomobile @EE Maria I believe it’s going ahead in the next 24hrs. Badly informed by Watford, he had no idea how to access his phone, very poor phone handover, I’m not at all impressed

  • aye_alison Alison Aye (@aye_alison) reported

    Also @tescomobile what are Dad’s chances of a refund on Mam’s monthly phone fee (£7) since her death? I realise it’s our fault for not cancelling, but you can check that he’s been paying for an unused service. It would really help him with his fuel bills. Goodwill? #tescomobile

  • PaulCole Paul Cole 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@PaulCole) reported

    @meloni1961 @tescomobile Not sure there's much they can do, unfortunately. The signal from over the channel is often stronger. Have you tried switching off roaming in your phone?

  • KatelynAnn66 Katelyn Williams 🌀 (@KatelynAnn66) reported

    Having awful service with Tesco mobile at the moment and when I tried to get something sorted with customer service they tried to force me into a new contract, but I had to pay my cancellation fee first! Appalling service!! @tescomobile

  • meloni1961 Mel (@meloni1961) reported

    Dear @tescomobile I am NOT in France - I am in Kent. How do I fix this?

  • twwooer Sheridan Birtwistle #CovidIsAirborne (@twwooer) reported

    @FelicityCloake @O2 @tescomobile uses #O2 network Have been with them for years; no mid contract price increases; decent value

  • Bletchman Paul Kirwan (@Bletchman) reported

    @tescomobile Is this ad supposed to make people feel good about your phones? Not working for me.

  • mikestrubel Michael Strubel (@mikestrubel) reported

    @tescomobile @EE I’ve just spent an hour of my time explaining to my 90-year-old father porting means. Nobody explain to him what was going to happen at Tesco’s in Watford, he didn’t understand how to use his new phone, I am really unhappy with the service I’ve had from Tesco’s today.

  • meloni1961 Mel (@meloni1961) reported

    @PaulCole @tescomobile It's worse on White Cliffs and rarely happens where I am. I now know how to set network manually.

  • JohnW50065546 John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚒ (@JohnW50065546) reported

    @tescomobile Until they take £70 from you and then do everything they can to avoid paying it back. Never a manager available when you phone to sort our a problem. Highway robbers!

  • EmSansom98 Emma Sansom (@EmSansom98) reported

    @tescomobile I have been trying to upgrade my mobile since the weekend and each time I’m being told my payment is unsuccessful and it gets cancelled, I have tried several debit cards. I have never had this issue with previous upgrades so very disappointed.

  • OliverParfitt4 Oliver Parfitt (@OliverParfitt4) reported

    @tescomobile i’m supposed to have 4-5g unlimited data but it’s alwasy on 3g i’ve tried everything to try and fix it but nothings worked? why is this?

  • sketchssims 🖤✨Vivussy✨🖤 (@sketchssims) reported

    @tashplaysgames @tescomobile You read that correctly. Idk who ******** these bastards think they are…

  • mikestrubel Michael Strubel (@mikestrubel) reported

    @tescomobile @EE Hi Maria, I am afraid we still have problems. The new phone has the old telephone number on it now, which is great. Unfortunately when my father is texting the phone is sending it from the new number it came with which is a bit weird. The old phone is turned off completely.

  • PrivacyMatters Privacy Matters 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🌻 (@PrivacyMatters) reported

    @tescomobile No point. The best solution is to move to another operator. @ofcom really ought to investigate the claims made by all mobile operators (& even check the accuracy of their own coverage maps)

  • mikestrubel Michael Strubel (@mikestrubel) reported

    @tescomobile hi, 3 times I’ve called your helpline, three times the phone has been picked up and then put down. Don’t get this service from @EE will be returning my fathers new phone tomorrow. Absolutely appalling customer service.

  • Beekind73 Bee (@Beekind73) reported

    @tescomobile is there a problem with your network again today? I can't make calls and just get not registered on this network message?

  • MUFCDEVIL8 G R E G (@MUFCDEVIL8) reported

    @talkSPORT @tescomobile The problem is, he’s not incredibly talented, that’s always been the main issue.

  • PrivacyMatters Privacy Matters 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺🌻 (@PrivacyMatters) reported

    Can't wait for my contract with @tescomobile to end. The service in this part of South Oxfordshire is dire ... Utterly dire

  • DogsBeTheBest Magic_Staffy & Webber (@DogsBeTheBest) reported

    @tescomobile I'm not receiving calls and texts but can send them. Is there a problem locally? I am at LL11 4TQ

  • mikestrubel Michael Strubel (@mikestrubel) reported

    @tescomobile @EE All I can say is that I’m happy that I am an EE customer, because this all the customer service is disgusting and it should not be allowed.

  • DebbieSelf18 Deb (@DebbieSelf18) reported
