Have had so many issues, I can't be bothered to put them all here, but customer service is dishonest and unhelpful in my experience. Have switched between O2, Vodafone and EE over the last few years. EE weren't great, and Vodafone even worse, but O2 are one of the worst companies, let alone mobile providers, that I've ever used. Will leave my contract as soon as possible and go back to the lesser of all evils EE.

I, Like the person below me, just took out a contract after being PAYG for years. Now, less than a month later, I'm being told of a price increase. Went to the chat and got quoted passages from theT's and C's. Also, when I went on the (suposedly) customer only community posts, I got bombarded by "you should read your contract" and "it's not O2's fault, everyone does it". I thought we'd left the days of sneaky price hikes. I negotiated a years contract and would anly expect an increase when that contract ends.

Just taken out a 24 month contract not even in it a month yet and they are hiking up the cost! All the usual patter from customer services with "it's in the Ts & Cs". That does not make it right at all, like most people you budget for this and agree a price for the contract I don't appreciate being ripped off. It is about time Ofcom put a stop to this in contract price rises it is grossly unfair and even more so that you cannot reject it and cancel the contract without penalty.

I was a customer for 7yrs! Finally plucked up the courage to leave only to be hit with a £100+ charge! Disgusting and disgusted- I wish the ombudsman would do something about rip off companies like this!!!

As a customer I am getting more frustrated and unhappy with the service from O2, I was promised a call back from a manager last Thursday and I am still waiting! They have admitted that they have made an error with our account, an error that could have a lasting negative impact on our business, however the only response we have received is that it is not their company policy to put this right. Does anyone really think that this is acceptable customer service or is it simply that they do not care about their customers?

They offered me best mobile sim with mobile plan and completed the process without any problem. Best thing is that if I have to walk out of plan before completion, I only need to pay for my phone and that's it.

O2 are not interested in their customers. They only want their money and they are prepared to lie in order to get it. Avoid.

O2 has the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Every customer service rep provides different, often contradictory, information. For instance, I had to call twice to cancel my service because I didn't trust that the first rep had actually done what I had asked. Good thing I did because the second rep informed me that my service had not been cancelled. Both reps peppered me with the same questions -- trying to sell me stuff when I could not have made it more clear that I wanted no futher business with the company, ever. And, sadly, that was one of the better interactions I've had...

This was the single worst experience of dealing with *any* company ever. The over-the-phone customer service, in-store customer service, and actual phone coverage in the UK is easily the most terrible contract that you can ever sign. If there was a setting on this website to give them negative stars, I would have put that. O2 is never a good idea.

Customer service is absolutely dreadful, wanted to cancel a contract and was was waiting on hold on the phone for a long time. No one answered so I went to live online chat and the Assistant I was talking to was very incompetent telling me incorrect information and correcting himself, was no help and took ages to respond. I spent half an hour talking to this assistant and I literally gained nothing. Not first time I've had issues with the service when upgrading in the past. DO NOT GET A CONTRACT FROM HERE service is dreadful and prices are high, so much better service and deals with places like carphone warehouse and EE.

Customer service are so un helpful, offering me a ‘discounted deal’ of £67 a month for the new iPhone X for a 5gb contract, will be buying out of my contract as soon as I sell my phone and moving to Vodafone who are offering 16gb for £56 a month. O2 have no idea what a ‘loyal customer’ is, nor do they try and keep them! Avoid like the plague.

Do not go with O2!!!!!! Avoid at all costs!!!! My mum took out a sim only contract with 02 to save money on her existing pay as you go..... Whilst using her existing credit on her old sim 02 took out over £200 in her account! !!! For a sim card that hasn't been used or registered! !!! Two weeks later she has had no response and the customer service has been ridiculous. ....

Absolutely shocked by a fact that this previously good company started to sell phones without chargers in the box just with a cable with recommendation to buy charger separately. there are still empty places for chargers in the boxes!!! Seriously this practice belongs to low-level of second hand shop I feel so sorry but I will have to transfer everything to other operators if possible!!!

Spent over an hour on the website just trying to purchase a new phone only to find out o2 are unable to deliver to an address that is different from the address your credit card is registered to (even though every other company offers this in the form of delivery addresses / billing addresses). I spoke to 3 different customer advisors until finally the third one told me about this - big thank you to her but the other two wasted over an hour of my life. In the end didn't make the purchase will go elsewhere.
