  • DebbieKnightArt Debbie Knight (@DebbieKnightArt) reported

    I dropped my iPhone into the river this morning, but I'm up and running on a new phone with the same number less than 12 hours later thanks to excellent service from @tescomobile at Crewe Tesco Extra, who were very helpful. I will try not to throw this one in the river!

  • OconnorSoc SOC (@OconnorSoc) reported from Waltham Abbey, England

    @tescomobile Callum this is not ok, it’s gone on for long enough. I’m not buying your fault free service any longer, terminate my contract and you can come and collect the device as I am not paying £29.96.

  • JoBroomes jo broomes (@JoBroomes) reported

    @tescomobile customer service has been the most shocking and incompetent I have ever dealt with 😱

  • 1DaveMcColl Dave McColl (@1DaveMcColl) reported

    @tescomobile I confirm nothings changed,appalling service 3 weeks without ability to use what they pay for, post code CM1 4EX. This needs sorting straight away, they were with @TheO2 you aren’t out of the woods if you don’t sort this out between you I’m going to report you both

  • Alexis27441793 Laura (@Alexis27441793) reported

    @tescomobile It's been cancelled from my banks end, as the bill date was changed well in advance (when I made a previous payment, in February) advisor told me there have been a lot of system errors recently, so not my fault.

  • millinchip Lea Millinchip (@millinchip) reported

    @tescomobile what disgraceful customer service! 6 phone calls about a faulty phone and I am no further forward and still have a phone 16 months old not working .... I imagine you'll still want me to pay the bill though 🤬

  • MrBrittle1  LEG  (@MrBrittle1) reported

    @juliemac1000 Ask for you pac code when you register with a new contract give them that pac number & they’ll notify you when your phone will go off & your number will be ported over to your new network @tescomobile make it so simple wish every company did

  • hackneyladok Hackneyladok (@hackneyladok) reported

    @tescomobile Hello, made an online complaint, no responce whatsoever, typical of you overseas service, they have no interest in trying to help you, basically you have taken my credit, and I want it refunded.

  • c_pxtell C🦋✨ (@c_pxtell) reported

    @tescomobile hi, my signal has been dropping all afternoon at it’***** and miss receiving calls and texts, I need my phone for emergencies.

  • craigmartin5 Craig Martin (@craigmartin5) reported

    @danny_motion @Tesco @tescomobile I know, class isn’t it. I’ll never turn off the “accept substitution” option again haha

  • Mark_hibbo Mark Hibbert (@Mark_hibbo) reported

    @tescomobile It stopped working when I was in Swindon yesterday and still got no service at home in Bath

  • CraigS0309 ⒸⓇⒶⓘⒼ (@CraigS0309) reported

    @tescomobile I have this morning received a new SIM card but not able to send a swap text, due to my issue

  • richforr70 Richard Forrester (@richforr70) reported from Hessle, England

    @tescomobile is there a problem with the network. Am not receiving SMS or calls but can send and make them.

  • BarbaraSutton15 Barbara (@BarbaraSutton15) reported

    @IanMartin55 @NeilDavoDavies1 Our reception here is intermittent so I find it easier to contact my colleagues who also have iphones I got a good deal from @tescomobile on the contract price & the cost of the phone far (Tesco use the O2 network) better than my previous O2 account it pays to shop around.

  • AgentZInfinity PoliticsJunkie (@AgentZInfinity) reported

    the year is 2021 and companies are still using indian call centres with staff that cant complete even the most basic of tasks. 5 minutes of blood-boiling poor service from @O2 and im literally shaking with anger. Remind me again why i'm not w/ tesco mobile already? @tescomobile

  • freyd_sew Freyja Hegarty (@freyd_sew) reported

    @tescomobile Is it coming via snail mail. Do you send out these things 3rd class? Someone could have walked it here quicker. This is really poor customer service. He's had to spend £100 on a new phone that's sat here for a week waiting for the sim to arrive?

  • Natnotanumber Natasha (@Natnotanumber) reported from Birmingham, England

    @tescomobile fully had me in the neck. How is automated service able to allow me to increase my safety buffer, but cannot allow me to buy an already overpriced data package with that increase. True, every little helps....their bank balance not mine. 🍻

  • 1DaveMcColl Dave McColl (@1DaveMcColl) reported

    @tescomobile hi I’m writing on behalf of mum in law, she has had no service for almost 3 weeks was told mast problem In Chelmsford area, any idea how long this is going to take to sort please? We’ve spoken to customer services btw

  • HeronGold Adam (@HeronGold) reported

    @tescomobile Been 24 hours since I texted to have my number transferred to my new sim and I'm still waiting for signal on my new phone..

  • warsashod Jonathan Webb (@warsashod) reported

    @tescomobile Thanks. I went online but you need to login. If I login it'll be into my own pay monthly accouaandcandI order a voucher from there despite not needing one?and I don't know his login credentials to do it as him. My dad's phone is a trad - he doesn't have a smartphone with email.

  • AdrienneAiken Adrienne Aiken (@AdrienneAiken) reported

    @tescomobile I just see too many people not complying already and can't help but feel this gives the wrong impression about safety in public places within this pandemic as things stand right now out there.

  • Itz6FigureMusic Big L (@Itz6FigureMusic) reported

    @tescomobile My 4G is not working and I still have lots of data left in my budget. Is there an issue on your end?

  • JamieHo94884301 Jamie Holder (@JamieHo94884301) reported

    @tescomobile I am incredibly annoyed after you guys hung up on me when you refused to help me sort my issue out. 1 £5 per month contract, 6 years ago, is stopping me by a house and it was all your fault then and you refuse to help me now!!!

  • JusticeForGeo17 Boris johnson #Go out,Eat,Destroy the NHS (@JusticeForGeo17) reported

    @tescomobile My luck could never get me a good substitute 😔.I wish they could send me out a pair of Apple AirPod pros. It would be my dream.😢

  • CrisisScotland @crisisscotland (@CrisisScotland) reported

    The @tescomobile phones come with monthly data so are ideal for members who are likely to move around frequently or in temporary accommodation with no wifi or poor signal.

  • DW23514259 DW (@DW23514259) reported

    @tescomobile @OconnorSoc I had the same issue with these cowboys this time last year...don't be fobbed of by their no guarantee of fault free service @BBCWatchdog should look into their conduct

  • joshduncan420 Josh Duncan (@joshduncan420) reported

    @tescomobile hello I got a pair of AirPods with my phone contract I have had a big problem with them and was wondering who I contact about that

  • MartynWilliams6 martyn.vapeman (@MartynWilliams6) reported from Maesteg, Wales

    Well, that's my Nokia 216 finally sorted out, finally received a SIM card, and requested for an e-Top Up card too. Now l need to register my clubcard and the e-Top Up card to the mobile, soon as it arrives. Thanks to @tescomobile for the help, I can't wait to use my new cellphone

  • Mark_hibbo Mark Hibbert (@Mark_hibbo) reported

    @tescomobile hi I’ve had no service on my phone for the last 2 hours rebooted and removed SIM card
