Just trying to pay an overdue bill I am told is owing, I paid the amount they wrote and asked for not an easy task, only to be told my sons phone won’t be put back on as there is still an outstanding amount never ever been informed of this just the one I eventually paid dont use this company all the customer service staff are capable of doing is reading a set out script they are totally incapable of using common sense and won’t even take your money unless you are spot on with the security. This phone and another one set up on Virgin Media many years ago taken over by o2 the information they have seems to be totally different from anything I could have used and because of that they won’t accept my payment nearly a week hours on the phone going absolutely nowhere. I got rid of Virgin broadband and tv for the same reason awful awful customer service. Don’t use o2 or Virgin the could cause you to kill yourself.

We both myself & my husband have been 02 customers for years. We have had an excellent customer service experience over the years even calling in-shop to sort- out minor technicalities & billing issues, with no major issues & resolved in minutes! Fast-forward to today (2026) & 02 have merged with Virgin! Virgin are known for their terrible customer service, billing & order issues. Weve never used Virgin & deliberately choose NOT TO!! My husband is 78 and spent literally just over an hour a half to some dude who was trying to get him to sign up to Virgin mobile!! My husband initially only telephoned to find out why his bill for this month was not its usual price, turns out premium rate numbers to an insurance company! That sorted.... Im upstairs and my husband comes up and throws his phone at me, I dont understand what he's saying!! Let me tell you, this rep was trying to get him signed up to a virgin price plan!! He said he had to ask certain questions to identify his ID ok I get that.. I sorted this out and my husband dissapeared with his phone... Half an hour later I heard him shouting down stairs 'I don't know what your saying or asking, I can't find it!! I rushed down my husband had all of his banking paraphenalia all over the floor. I took charge of the call turns out, he was inadverdantly trying to sign my husband up to Virgin mobile/media, he was asking his banking details, how much he earns I immediately recognised what he was trying to do.. I asked my husband what he said he told me the endless questions, banking details & salary etc I asked my husband, did he say he was signing you up for'A particular service.' He said no, he never said just kept on at him for over an hour and a half! My husband was distraught, he was in such a state. I told this inconsiderate idiot with his insincere patter, 'No your not signing him for anything!' I'm concluding this call you have kept him on too long a time already and Im not happy with what Im hearing.. I told him you already have richards details on file & account you dont need anything further except to give him the account details he requested!! He told my husband the charges where because he was out of contract! Then later told him different... These Indian/Asian call centres are the worst, diabolical!! Why do they keep you on soooo long a time and all the while you are getting nowhere with them!. Plus heckept calling me Maamm! Im not bloody royalty! Nor am I Miss but Mrs!! He kept saying over & over again 'I understand.' Well, no you don't actually!! I asked him why my husband cannot acess his on-line mobile account, the usual merging excuses (theres plenty of 02 customers like us with the same issue & they 02 are not sorting the issue out) He told me he couldn't do anything with the App nor account?? Get my husbands App working! and that it was up to a different department to deal with!! In other words a lazy fellow just looking to get commission, a quick buck by signing my husband up to Virgin!! So Im now considering leaving 02 Virgin as this is the pitts of customer service. I know EE has UK dedicated call centres so Im going with them, Im out of contract so they cant try & charge me for leaving besides they can whistle down the wind anhow. This experience was tantamount to elder abuse & bullying and Im absilutely fuming! How dare he treat my husband like this, he is even today extremely upset & disturbed by the whole experience! Good job he wasn't local I would be around ther like a shot!! 02 are finished! Im not continuing with 02 now they have merged with Virgin the worst known company & customer services going!! My advice, go elsewhere! BULLYING & ELDER ABUSE!

I bought a new phone from 02 in December. I have been a client with them for over 25years. They dispatched the phone to the wrong address. It has now been over a month and I have no phone as they will not re dispatch it and have not been refunded. I have spent hours on the phone to customer service trying to get my money back and still nothing. It is a total sham. This is an 02 error that I am paying for and they do not care at all. I do not know how to get my money back… so much unnecessary stress and time wasting when all I did was try to buy a phone:(

Terrible customer support. This is a company that treats you worse the longer you are with them. I am looking for another network now after 10 years with O2.

Cancelled my contract over the phone 3 months ago only to be billed for 3 months missed payments. Lies and misleading information customer service that won’t accept responsibility for not cancelling when instructed too. Got told one thing and O2 did the opposite. Best of luck trying to talk to someone.

I just want them for the Pay as you go. I think they want to scrap it, but if they do, I'm leaving. Even going to a shop doesn't solve anything: they don't know and they don't care about giving you wrong information. I was left without any coverage at all during two different holidays and no solution was. offered. Everything is slow. I lost my phone and to keep my number was a nighty that took a month!!!!! I was without my number for a month! I was fighting people who don't care when I managed to contact anyone at all and who only want to get rid of you.

I am a 61yr old woman and don't understand all the inside outs of a mobile phone.i know the basics. I am never going into the O2 shop in Chichester again. They didn't offer to help me. One young girl was just swinging on her chair at the back of the shop. I was just left standing there. Then when young bloke eventually helped me I explained that this was the 5th time I had been to the shop with the same problem. He started talking to me as if I was thick.He then starting fiddling with phone for a few minutes and then said that should be okay now. I was reluctant to leave shop.But I left. Sure enough the problem was still there.This problem had been going on for weeks. In desperation I asked my 20yr old nephew to look at it. He put it right straight away. The problem with phone was that it had loads of pop up adds on it and they needed deleting. I couldn't use phone really as it wouldn't stay in any app. The ads were popping up all the time. The shop should have been able to deal with that problem easily. Also they made be buy a new mobile phone when I didn't need too. I was really upset and annoyed with their service and I advise you not to use shop.

The worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. They were unable to fix a simple problem with my SIM card and kept me hanging on the phone for ages. To make matters worse they locked me out of my account leaving me unable to top up my phone. They did attempt to remedy their appalling service by offering me £30 compensation. I have been chasing them to pay this for ages and they have still not paid. I think their slogan should be "if you like incompetence and bad service, you'll love O2"

02 have the worst customer services. It takes ages for someone to even pick up. They want you to use an app rather then speak with a human and makes it extremely difficult to get any answers. I feel if it's a query like mine when there's purchases on my bill and im querying it .... this should be a priority call.... am hour later still holding on

I' have bought a Sim card from a store with 75 GB, but It s only giving 25 GB.I called to customer service. They said the promotional additional data will be added after using my 25GB.I've got nothing. Calling to customer service was impossible. It seems my number was blocked. I was holding my phone for 30 minutes in Sunday morning. The answer machine tells all the agents are extremely busy. It can not be the truth. In General O2 provides terrible experience for me as a customer. I just do not recognise the company as it was before.
