After an awful online experience

After an awful online experience with the O2 customer service team this morning (tel no. 202) whereby they rendered my mobile useless by killing the sim before the new sim was delivered, Claudio saved my day by calmly replacing the sim and making a call to get it activated. I have no confidence in the 202 service and will always go to the store in future. Thank you again Claudio

Hi Bart, thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear about the experience you had with the online customer service team and the inconvenience caused during your SIM replacement. However, we're delighted that Claudio was able to turn things around for you. His calm approach, expertise, and determination to get your new SIM activated and your service back up and running are exactly the kind of support we strive to provide.

We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Claudio, who will be thrilled to know he made such a positive difference.

Terrible signal all over the UK

Terrible signal all over the UK. O2 have one job - to provide phone service and it is rare they do that. Have been with O2 for 3 years and I travel all over the UK for work and not one place gets decent signal whereas other people I am travelling with who are not on O2 have it. I'm cancelling and moving to EE due to this, its awful I can hardly use my phone

I am extremely disappointed with O2’s…

I am extremely disappointed with O2’s customer service. Over the past two months, the service has been unacceptable. Not a single O2 store has been able to help us with what should have been a very simple change to our account.

Yesterday, I spent 1 hour and 34 minutes on the phone with customer support just trying to make a basic change to our internet package. The issue was still not resolved because I eventually had to end the call as I no longer had time to continue.

Today, after spending almost another hour on the phone, I was finally led to believe that everything had been sorted out. However, at the very end of the call, I was told that they were unable to complete the request after all and that I would need to visit an O2 store in person.

This is completely unacceptable. I have wasted hours of my time repeating the same information to different representatives, only to be sent back to a store after being assured that the issue could be resolved over the phone. If the request could only be completed in-store, I should have been told that from the beginning instead of having my time wasted.

I expect O2 to improve the quality of its customer service and ensure that customers receive accurate information and efficient support. This experience has been extremely frustrating, and I hope this complaint is taken seriously.

This is not the standard of service we strive to provide, and we're sorry for the inconvenience and time you've lost as a result.
