For the past 12 months I've been having trouble with phone service and data connection, regardless of where I was. Most of the time I was in either London or Portsmouth. I contacted 02 over 60 times in emails and phone calls, not one of my emails have been responded to up to this day. But I recieved automated emails saying that they was recieved and someone would be in contact shortly, but this never happened and still hasn't happened. I phoned 02 multiple times over the past 12 months, and each time they all did the same thing, they reset my phone but because after a reset, you need to turn your phone off and then back on. That ended our call and of course, no one ever called me back. So I would have to phone 02 back and start again from scratch with a different agent, who would say the only thing they can do is reset my phone. A month ago I spoke to someone on the phone and said I'd like to leave 02 and cancel my contract. They asked me why and I explained the signal and data connection problems I've been facing over the past 12 months. They said they would send me out a new Sim card as it may be the 02 sim card stopped working, as this can happen. I agreed and one was sent out to me. After receiving the new sim card, I inserted it into my phone only to find it didn't work. I tried to contact 02 but was on the phone for over 40 minutes in a que, in the meantime, I had the phone on still but I travelled to my nearest 02 shop. Only to find the shop has been closed down. Still no answer from 02 throughout my entire journey. I went into another phone service provider to ask them to take a look at my phone. One person from their technical team looked at my phone and the brand new sim card and informed me that the new 02 sim card sent out to me is faulty. They never tried to sell me their products their or sway me into leaving 02, they just informed me that 02 had sent me out a faulty sim card yet again. I then emailed 02 to explain the situation but to this day, no one from 02 has acknowledged or responded to any of my emails. Over 60 emails. It's very disheartening to know that they their customer service and communication is this bad, especially as their phone company and are supposedly meant to provide communication.

I visited your Chelmsford store today, greeted by Oteri, the best experience I have had in my 12 years of visiting phone shops. His exceptional customer service helped me upgrade my iphone getting me the best deal and providing me with information regarding my virgin media. Thank you so much will definitely be returning and recommending to friends and family! Thank you so much Oteri you’ve restored my faith in phone shops!

Wish I never changed to 02. Still trying to keep my phone number. Code supplied not followed through by 02. Connected me to the wrong number. Can’t understand the call centre, promised to phone me back, never followed through. Do not use 02.

The negative reviews on here are representative of my own experiences with 02. Their mobile service is very patchy and the line has a bad habit of cutting out when you get through to customer services or if you are calling other companies. The 02 staff are in out of the uk call centres and this can be frustrating as you not only have contend with patchy sound quality from the poor quality headsets used by them, but also you can be left having to ask them to clarify or repeat what they have said due to their accents. They do try to sound friendly over the phone, however that is little consolation when set against the poor quality of 02s service. We were switched to 02 by virgin mobile. After many months We have sadly given up on expecting a decent service and are now actively in the process of abandoning them (something which we shoild have done sooner) My honest advice is to try other providers before considering 02

Every month up to 5 days without any services. O2 ignore all queries. Customer Rights Act doesn't work. This company don't respect and hate their customers. To be client O2 means not respect yourself.

Worst service provider, they never solve your problem I preoder a device on 25 jan it has to be delivered on 26 jan but today its 12 Feb no update of Oder. If we contact the O2 store they were like we have no information or they cut the cl. If we contact the customer service they said we escalate the issue you should contact the store. Just worst provider ever. Never trust O2 they just waste our time store has 0 interest in providing details same as online customer agent. My oder number is NC32599839

I would give 0 stars if it was possible, asked to cancel my contract and they assured me they would only to be billed 2 times the following months for a service I'm no longer using. They then proceed to send emails and automated voice messages saying it will effect my credit score. Worst provider I've ever used will never recommend to another person ever absoloute bunch of clowns.

Have been unable to cancel my contract for weeks due to their process. Last que I have been in it took 5 hrs to find out that I wasn't in the cancelation que. I believe this company makes it this difficult to try to retain customers. I will never have any service with this company again. STAY Away unless you want a nightmare

I switched my account to other network provider after 18 Years from being with o2. Because I received very bad customer service and signal coverage. Now after 4 month switching the account and 4-5 times calling them to close my account (my contract with them already was ended), still they send me monthly bill and charge me extra for late payment!!! I paid about £100 extra for the sim card I Dont have and the service I don't use. every time I call them takes me about an hour on the phone and they promise to send me final bill and closing the account but again next month they send me a new bill !!! this kind of scam has to be stop by UK government

Threatening letter to my 80yr old Mum who has dementia because she hasn't paid her £5.86. Account is now locked, so I can't pay it for her. Lost count of how many people I have been passed through to try and resolve it. Promised a return phone call. It never happened. Spent 1 hr 17 minutes on the phone waiting to speak to someone capable of helping. Tried X direct message, followed the instructions on Facebook to direct message. I just want to speak to 1 person who can help Customer service appears to be non existent Despite numerous phone calls and emails, today (a month later) I received 3 bills, 2 from 02 of different amounts £13.37, £17.72 and one from a debt collection agency for £15.24. I waited on hold for 24 mins to 02 and gave up, so paid the debt collection agency in less than a minute The time wasted to pay such a small bill was unbelievable because they obviously do not have enough customer advisors

Shocking customer service . I think a 1 ate is too much , I called 02 3 times this last week and the average wait time is 47 mins, Custer service and response shocking. O2 have been taking money out from my account and set up a direct debit and they don’t know why the money has been taken monthly. There’s no fraud department. The staff are not clear me they don’t know answers to any general customer service.

I have been with O2 on and off for roughly 10 years. Recently, their customer service has become terrible. You just simply ca't get through to a human being and often get left with an issue for days, or even weeks. I have been having an issue logging into the app and online portal for more than a year. I was first given some random email address to use as login. Then I was asked to register another email address to login. Just terrible. Not worth the hassle for a few quid saved. On top of that, my contract was £25 a month when I bought it two years ago. When I left earlier this month, it was over £34 a month ( a whopping 28% increase in just over a year as it became £34 just after a year). The only reason I rejoined two years ago was because they had a good deal through Mobiles.co.uk and their coverage where my house is is good, so I have 5G. I will do everything I can to avoid them in the future.

Awful customer service. Over my 2yr contact I contacted them around 3 times and always ended up speaking to someone who spent 15mins asking how are you today and the usual scripted sentences. That's after the long wait to get through the automated options. The price hikes during the contract were a rip off. I've tried to call and email to pay final bill but its impossible. The automated service on all calls reject you if you're not with O2 anymore, Social media replies are robotic and useless. I've had an email off them I can't reply to, I've sent an email to their complaints and still nothing. I'll wait until the 8 weeks and contact the ombudsman. Terrible will avoid forever.
