  • offley78 Pete Offley (@offley78) reported

    @tescomobile when are you going to provide a service for smart watch’s so they can be use on 4g without a phone. To use my watches I need to have my phone with me. Get with the times.

  • HofKnocker Adrian Tompkins (@HofKnocker) reported

    @tescomobile hi you told me yesterday that there was nothing more you could do regards my complaint. I will give you one final chance to resolve this matter satisfactorily within 14 days or to send me a letter of deadlock.

  • HofKnocker Adrian Tompkins (@HofKnocker) reported

    @tescomobile And possibly the reason I didn’t get your call was because I was at work with no signal. Ironic right?

  • chiliosp chiliosp (@chiliosp) reported

    Dear @tescomobile on 27 Nov I took out a contract with you. Today, the 1st day I've had a signal I get a message saying a bill for £20 was issued on 9 Dec. Pls explain. £20 for 2 weeks seems high particularly as I had no signal.

  • LadyLeyland Lady Leyland Backup (@LadyLeyland) reported

    @tescomobile @flickhan This woman is a chronic complainer Tesco Mobile. Cut her signal off

  • flickhan Flick (@flickhan) reported

    @tescomobile It's not letting me DM you..I don't have another phone and that's not the problem. My phone is new

  • DianeTh09697402 Diane Thomas (@DianeTh09697402) reported

    @cymraesydwi @tescomobile I changed to Tesco mobile a few months ago and had a few problems initially as I’m not good with technology, but the sales people in @Tesco TalbotGreen were fabulous and sorted me out twice.

  • davecarson88 dave carson (@davecarson88) reported

    @tescomobile Thanks Jade, I got through on the 0345 number but the network 4455 number is not recognised

  • lazyoldbones nickrday (@lazyoldbones) reported

    @tescomobile @02 absolutely shocking service,my wife took out a new business contract with you on 6.12.22.Her old number was ported over via pac and its still not working.Losing business.

  • caroljane1 Jane Doyle (@caroljane1) reported

    @tescomobile This number is not working

  • alicegl16 alice (@alicegl16) reported

    @tescomobile - almost every other day at the moment, I have full signal with 4G, but my WhatsApp doesn't work, Instagram doesn't work, I can't load anything at all on Google or safari and anything I need to load, like banking ect, won't load!

  • NickHowdle Nick Howdle (@NickHowdle) reported

    @tescomobile the phone service that can’t call you

  • ecylcje Chris Eagles (@ecylcje) reported

    @tescomobile No problem. I think everyone understands that a 2 mile radius of anywhere in Malmesbury is out of coverage for Tesco Mobile. It is like the Bermuda triangle here.

  • flickhan Flick (@flickhan) reported

    @tescomobile Why do I have to dm you...I've told you what the problem is

  • Dogearedtatty H (@Dogearedtatty) reported

    @tescomobile I’m not in often enough to know - but Hywel who runs the Creperie stall just off the High St, was also finding O2 was a problem with his mobile card payment device, which was then requiring people to have cash. And that sounded like it had been a while and was getting worse.

  • chloewhatmough 𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼🤪 (@chloewhatmough) reported

    @tescomobile Shocking customer service

  • kelda_kelly Dr Kelly Henderson (@kelda_kelly) reported

    @tescomobile Thanks I have already registered. It’s been a couple of days so was hoping for a general indication of when service being restored - hopefully it’s soon.

  • Dogearedtatty H (@Dogearedtatty) reported

    Why is @Tescomobile mobile data (provided by @O2) so terrible in Exeter? Forget 4G, forget even 3G. It was even failing to get EDGE/GPRS.

  • cymraesydwi Cymraesydwi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇦 💜🤍💚 (@cymraesydwi) reported

    Really, really regretting leaving @O2 and moving to @tescomobile . Tesco service has been absolutely shocking. I've been waiting for them to port my number since 6th Dec. Multiple online chats, conversations with staff in-store, DMs on here and zero progress.

  • s4bo60 samantha bryson (@s4bo60) reported

    @tescomobile I have tried to raise a complaint twice now and no one seems to want to raise it. Or contact me regarding the actual complaint

  • ecylcje Chris Eagles (@ecylcje) reported

    @tescomobile Crazily your coverage tracker says there is good 3g and 4g coverage. But even normal phone calls don't work. This has been going on for a couple of years. I really feel stupid we haven't switched providers and stuck with Tesco mobile.

  • NickHowdle Nick Howdle (@NickHowdle) reported

    Shockingly poor customer service from @tescomobile 2 days in from PAC transfer and still not operational.

  • s4bo60 samantha bryson (@s4bo60) reported

    @tescomobile none of your agents are willing to raise my consumer law complaint over the phone, keep going on about warranty which is not the issue as it’s consumer law. iPhone has hardware issues under contract Tesco don’t want to know because warranty is up.

  • cymraesydwi Cymraesydwi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇦 💜🤍💚 (@cymraesydwi) reported

    @robyn_goch @O2 @tescomobile Honestly the complete lack of customer service has really shocked me. They've offered me a month's free line rental.... On a phone I can't use you mean!? Helpful!! Dire, dire service with no end in sight!

  • caroljane1 Jane Doyle (@caroljane1) reported

    @tescomobile still waiting for my broken phone to be collected! Pick up slot between 12-1pm.

  • _sopphh96_ soph (@_sopphh96_) reported

    @tescomobile absolutely ridiculous not being able to receive sms texts on 4G with signal. I have to have 3G to receive these types of texts. I’ve tried everything!! Apple checked my phone too! I have a replacement sim too! Absolutely shocking, can’t wait to leave

  • DWhane Daryl W Turner (@DWhane) reported

    @tescomobile continuing poor coverage in Barry, S Wales. Put up with this for days now & informed it would be sorted today! NOT HAPPENED what are you doing to provide a workable service?

  • TrimotheusAlpha Just Trim (@TrimotheusAlpha) reported

    @tescomobile So I cancelled a contract with you guys on the 25th of October, still haven't received a refund, never accepted the handset delivery and now you're trying to charge me for the handset too? Worst customer support I've ever come across. Thoughts?

  • flickhan Flick (@flickhan) reported

    @tescomobile The issue is that your service now is rubbish

  • neilslater36 Neil Slater (@neilslater36) reported

    @flickhan @tescomobile Same here, was fine but not anymore, if I get a mobile data signal anywhere within a 3 mile radius of my house the speed tops out at just over 1mbps. That's NOT 4g
