    @O2 Finally got through to a business customer service agent called Michelle after trying for an hour and been cut off! We can’t use our work phones and I can’t get any help. Please advise as this is absolutely not acceptable!

  • FAT_NUTZ ROB WARD (@FAT_NUTZ) reported

    @O2 Hang on I understand about unable to gauge tee a fault free service but when it’s now been over 2 weeks that’s surely not with your terms. It’s a joke. Will be changing providers in October.

  • MrsPAH Paula H (@MrsPAH) reported

    @O2 can you confirm the phone number to speak to someone to change an order please? I've chosen my upgrade but it is out of stock - existing phone not working so I'd like to change to a different colour to receive more quickly. Thanks

    @O2 As a long time customer I would like at least 8gb with the international roaming and free Disney+ for around around the same price I’m paying now £12

  • Esmeraldajane Nicole Joseph (@Esmeraldajane) reported

    @O2 Hello. I got a call from your team the other day saying I could upgrade, I got excited and we spoke about what phones etc and all the good stuff, She then said I could not upgrade and said it was a mistake but my number and contract was pushed though for a upgrade? Help ?

  • LukeKiff Luke Kiff (@LukeKiff) reported

  • stphysio_sara Mrs M_PT (@stphysio_sara) reported

    @O2 Looked at all this, done everything on my end… everyday it’s different. Large amount of people in the area, working in area… but still the same terrible connection 😳

  • ksmithysmith Kim Smith (@ksmithysmith) reported

    Wowzers @O2 shocking customer service when trying to sort a contract query out, put on hold for over 30 mins, not resolved and then silence- is this the future of things to come now you’ve partnered with @virginmedia ??

  • PetraIlieva Petra-Maria Knight (@PetraIlieva) reported

    @O2 we have a network outage in RH14 that affects all your sub networks, and no it's not 'some trouble' it's pretty much constant lack of signal. Your website says you'll update with news by Friday - what about people who depend on your network for their job, to receive payments?

  • crzynic83 Crzynic83 (@crzynic83) reported

    @O2 I have been trying to update my account for over a month with a new billing address. Both app and website give me error messages and I can’t update. Will have to cancel if can’t upgrade so pls help

  • Abi66081730 Abi (@Abi66081730) reported

    @O2 That number doesnt work, it just beeps instead of ringing....

  • TapperJosephine Josephine Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported

    @O2 Not much help when I’m out and about. & WiFi calling should only need to be an ad-hoc measure - not the default. Could you point me in the right direction so I can register days without service so those days are refunded? Thank you.

  • jonesy040669 steve jones (@jonesy040669) reported from Poole, England

    @O2 my contact is coming to an end very soon and I’m looking for a good deal as I’ve been a long time customer (bt cellnet days) I kind of know what I looking for so hopefully your customer service will be good to me

  • ThomasEdmund71 Tom Richardson (@ThomasEdmund71) reported

    @O2 I was bemused by this text you sent me. Your signal has never come. I have never been able to text or phone on your network from my home “To improve your local network, we're carrying out essential work in ME194LZ. While we do, your signal might come and go”

  • TapperJosephine Josephine Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported

    @O2 It’s why I’m off after 5 days. Your customer service as bad as coverage.

  • FrankRiddle90 Fran Riddle (@FrankRiddle90) reported

    @O2 Your signal coverage in Cornwall is poorer than a Victorian chimney sweepers son. Vodafone, EE & everyone else get signal. I’m sat waiting for my 3G to load an email for 3 working days.
