    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 What a load of crap. Clearly another thick Tory. The cabinet of the lesser gifted.

  • _x864 Boz (@_x864) reported

    @LutzSchueler @O2 @virginmedia I'm sure this is good news for some but I'm still trying to resolve issues with my account that started beginning Nov 2020. Unresolved tech issue stopped upgrade, dreadful customer service, & still can't get PAC code to leave. Your #CustomerFirst is a PR joke. #CEO_Bullsh_t

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Liar... It is down to the British companies themselves.

  • jamcarcat James Kirby (@jamcarcat) reported

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Is this what we are grasping now, a split on those who are and area not proposing roaming charges Nice, but when I moved, I could not get 02 signal at home. In UK

  • nellieh64 IronGranny (@nellieh64) reported

    @BorisJohnson @virginmedia @O2 Which of course we happily had for all network providers until your ***** waving vanity project......

  • WagonTrain2 WagonTrain (@WagonTrain2) reported

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 What is the matter with you woman. It’s not up to the EU, it’s a decision taken by the network operators. If anything the U.K. government could do as Europe has done & make roaming charges illegal. The option is yours.
