Hi, everyone. Before you do a contract with o2, please check the o2 reviews . I had a contract with an o2 network, and our contract deal was £35 a month, but o2 was charging me £65 a month. I contacted o2 costomer Service 3 times, and they said, "Oh, we are so sorry, we will put cap on it ." It's will never happen again. If you put a cap on , and then if you make a call abroad, even by mistake, it's not go through because you have a cap on. That's what the cap on will do. The next month, they still changed me £65 , I went to the store because I was tired of calling online customer service, and I thought they would help me to stop this. In the store, they told me the same things. Oh, we are so so sorry about I will put a cap on right now, and it's never happened again, and I said I already have a cap on why it's happened again, the man told me that they didn't put it cap on properly. The next month, the same things again 65£ charged, and I went to the store to the same person. He was looking to his computer for about 10 minutes and finally he said that he couldn't do anything , so I decided to cancel my contract which I did and I'm receiving a lot of emails and letters from o2 . They are saying the next step will be court, and I'm waiting for that to happen because me and my team will take o2 company down. We have so many proves that o2 company is always charged over amount. About 10 old age people we have, which is easy to overcharge, and o2 charging them, poor people don't even know. Many more people like this we have, which has overcharged . So we are waiting. What will o2 do if they don't do anything, we will take action, and if me and, my team, are successful in this process, Then that's what we will do for leaving to help everyone who gets scams by the network providers.

Absolutely useless and incompetent. I opened an account some years ago for my son and this contract ended last year Nov time. He then asked to transfer the account into his own name on a new sim only contract which they apparently did and the old number was discontinued, we then received a demand for payment even though the old account had been closed and disconnected, they then refused to transfer the account until we settled which we sis, we then receive demands from Moorcroft debt recovery for a pathetic sum of £10.50 ???, we then called again and they said there had been a mistake and the case was dropped, he than had use of the new account and all seemed well, i then received yet more demands for a payment of now £14.50 on this dead account that was no longer in use, i complained and was once again promised it had been rectified, i had since opened a dispute through Resolver and uploaded all my evidence along with my complaint and was promised 7 days in which they would contact me, that was 2 months ago and i have heard nothing but have since received yet another demand from Moorcroft debt recovery for a new bill of now £16.17 ???. I owe this pathetic company absolutely nothing and in fact was refunded for overpayments after paying for their fictitious bills. Steer well clear..

Been with last 5yrs but needed today to go into local branch in Shrewsbury, which had given a great service previously. That branch is now closed. So next is Telford phoned them and out of order, so phoned helpline who said it was the correct number. So phoned Wolverhampton who answered immediately the company going through a franchise and there is no phone at Telford branch. Very sad that this is so awful a service now as really respected/appreciated the Shrewsbury team who were always on top of any issue I had presented with. They were experienced , patient, friendly, and gave service with a smile.

If you're thinking about getting home wifi in Germany or Berlin, stay away from O2. Here's why: This company operates as if it's above the law in Germany, completely ignoring customer complaints and failing to deliver promised services. Just take a look at their online reviews. They continue their poor business practices without any real consequences. It is quite remarkable that the German government continues to allow such a malevolent company to operate with such disgracefully poor business practices. I signed up for home wifi with O2 in Berlin back in June 2023. The installation technician never showed up on the agreed date. I tried everything to fix the situation – visiting their store, lodging complaints online, and calling their hotline. Nothing worked. I couldn't even reschedule the installation. Then, to make matters worse, they started charging me for the installation and monthly service fees without providing any service. This has been going on for over ten months. No one at the company seems interested in resolving the issue. Instead, they've decided to send their lawyers after me for payment of services they never provided. Honestly, dealing with O2 has been a nightmare. Their lack of responsibility and customer service is shocking. I strongly advise against using their services. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere for your needs.

Upgraded my handset and contract to the unlimited plus plan and paid extra money for express delivery for before 10.30am on 30th...this didn't happen and the order is still "processing" I've spoken with multiple people one saying it's a technical issue and that it'll be resolved promptly...not the case. Another saying that it was because of the holiday which is fair enough and that I'd get in on the Tuesday...Another lie. So, today called again and another advisor has said that there's been an influx of orders and DHL haven't collected the handsets yet. All three advisors have lied and said that they were going to sort the issue out with the team that process the orders and liase with the complaints team and o2 have done the bare minimum to rectify things. I even offered to travel and collect the device from an o2 shop, but apparently that was not allowed. They should not have even offered express services if they couldn't fulfill the order and the lies their staff have said in order to pass the blame on to other team or the delivery service is disgusting. Also, I have complained about poor network issues in the past and nothing was done by them then either.

I would have selected 0 stars if I could. I am shocked at the lack of customer care from o2, I wish I never took a contract out with them. I’ve upheld my side of the contract by paying every month even though out of the 18 months I have had the phone it’s not worked for 9 of them. In march alone I called 17 times to rectify my issue and was told “this has been escalated” or “rest assured this is being looked in to” No one seems to know what they are doing which is no fault if their own it’s the poor training they have likely received. Since Jan 2024 I have been asking for a complaint to be logged and every time I call to chase it they tell me it’s been logged a few days prior and with the complaints team. All you seem to get is lie after lie. Currently looking in to small claims court and FOS as this should not be allowed to happen.

Worse provider ever I'm stuck with a phone that keeps going wrong been replaced 5times! Won't change the phone for a different one and said my only way out is to pay the contract off £1344.76 leaving me severely out of pocket even if i sell the contract phone ( bearing in mind have had issues with the model since I had it and been changed so many times) signal is absolute rubbish aswell. Can't wait to leave.

O2 used to have great customer service. Not any more I have just waited over an hour and a quarter to speak to someone. Apparently they are "extremely busy". I am still waiting!! I have been during this time trying to get the help I need from their online chat. Painful!!! Virgin was so much better and quicker.

Wow, never delt with anything like this in my life. I am a pay and go customer on a push button mobile. They put a £10 top up on my phone that I didn't authorise. When I rang I was sent a security code by text. On push button mobiles you cannot access or read a text message when you are on a call. The guy said I had failed security and would not continue the call, he then hung up. I rang back, different person but same issues regarding the security check. He then tried to pressure me into signing up for a contract but then became rude when I declined saying I was not getting my top up back and also hung up. This was next level.

I have been dealing with O2 since November of 2023, it is now the 20th of March 2024, O2 overbilled us in November for over £4000, only in January 2024 did they rectify their billing error, no one apologised or anything, come February, they shut off our services for no reason at all, we made our payment, have proof of payment on our O2 account, and they stated they can't find it, called back on the 26th of February because they sent us a threatening letter, the issue was not resolved, they stated that the finance team allocated our payment to someone else's account!!! We also made another payment on the 26th of February for the March month, however they did not allocate our payment to our account. I phoned again today to talk with a manager about the issue; John answered and said he'd want to go through the security check with me; the line became silent; I said "Hello"; no answer; I waited 8 minutes on the phone before he cut off the line. Their services are simply horrible, and O2 customer service is diabolical; they do not care about their customers, refuse to take accountability, and fail to address complaints.

O2 has the most atrocious customer service in the world right now. I was on the phone more than 2 hours just to see Ware was my payment is. Because I don't see it on my O2 app. I got transferred 5 or 6 times to speak to different people explaining the same thing over and over again. My 7 year old could do the job better. useless customer service department. The should call them I don't care about customer department. No one knows anything. The only thing that's left for me to go and do their job. I got told today" I don't know what to say" I said can I speak to manager and she transferred me to a different department an that department managers was too busy. OFD How can companies like this operate and still be functional in the UK. No one knows anything.

Honestly, o2 have given me the worst customer experience I’ve ever had. I’ve spent the past 10 months ringing o2 and chasing them up on their own errors. It’s cost me money, an incredible amount of time. I’ve rung so many times it’s a joke! Whenever you ask for a Manager to call you back they never do. I’ve tried four times. I can’t wait to get this issue resolved so I can leave o2 and never come back.

My partners phone was accidentally washed. It was an old phone so it didn’t really matter. I took out the SIM card and found that it was too big for current phones. I phoned O2 customer service to ask for an replacement SIM card, and because I couldnt tell them the remaining balance (pay and go) they said they couldn’t help, that I would have to go an O2 shop. The agent then disconnected my call. Yesterday I made my way to the 02 shop in Union Square Aberdeen where I explain the situation but no joy was had. I was given the phone number for customer service even though I said I’d already spoken with them. The assistant told me I’d probably phoned the wrong customer service. I’m maybe elderly but not stupid Doh! Terrible way to treat an OAP who has been with O2 since mobiles were bricks. I understand that they have security to think of but I left that shop less than impressed. I found a small shop dealing in phones, he was very impressive and very happy to help. Black mark for O2, I am reviewing my options for the future.
