I wish I could give zero stars.

I wish I could give zero stars.

After being a customer for years, I am absolutely appalled by the way I have been treated. This company has been completely unhelpful throughout an ongoing issue, and I have repeatedly been given incorrect information by different members of staff. As a result, I have ended up spending a significant amount of money unnecessarily, while money I genuinely disputed was still passed on to debt collectors.

I contacted them multiple times to try to resolve the situation, but not one person took ownership of the issue or made any genuine effort to help. I was passed from one person to another, given conflicting information, and left feeling completely ignored and unsupported.

It honestly feels as though they only care about customers when everything is going smoothly and payments are being made. The moment you have a problem, the customer service disappears.

I am extremely upset and disappointed by the way I have been treated after being with the company for so long. There has been no understanding, accountability, or consideration for the impact this situation has had on me.

I cannot wait for my number to be transferred so I never have to deal with this company again. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before becoming a customer.

In breach of contract! Lies and fraudulent transactions

In breach of contract!! Lies, fraudulent charges!! O2 disconnected my apple watch then deleted the sim. Having been on the phone for hours to esculation, customer services, managemenr they agreed to replace the watch they destroyed and send a series 11 as the series 9 is now not being made. We are sick of calling them. They are dogmatic, rude and completely unprofessional. On talking to apple 02 are directly responsible for ruining my apple watch! They have continued to take money from my bank account for a device they have destroyed. I will now be taking the legal route . They don't return calls ,don't use this company !!! The staff are trained to keep you on the phone at all costs . This has gone beyond acceptable. Disgraceful company

Been on the online chat for 2.5 hours

Been on the online chat for 2.5 hours. Been cut off i was scammed from my bank and been trying to sort that out with my bank. I do understand that i should if tried getting in touch but had a lot on my mind with my dad being in hospital had emergency surgery. Not even been acknowledged and also want to charge me fee for £27 the agent took 10-15 mins to reply back and offered me £10 goodwill and still want to charge me. I have been a customer for over 10 years. Unacceptable will be taking this further.

Spoke to a manager since then and they waived the fee and sorted everything for me. This is why i changed to 5 stars for the manager her name was Geneva

If I could give a -0 if give that

If I could give a -0 if give that. Been with o2 well over 20+ years, had multiple contracts for myself and children over the years. Never missed a payment.
Over the past few years the coverage inside and outside has been diabolical, I was paying much more than I was using, which I only found out once I called to cancel and was offered new contracts.
Definitely don't look after the customers best interest, only interest is lining there own pockets. I tried to cancel my sons contract in October, December, march, may then finally in June. Each time I was told I'd to give notice then it would be canceled I did this although I was out of my 24 monthd contract at this point,.so ehilu give notice? To which it never was actually cancrlled.
I finally had it cancelled in June but o2 have the absolute audacity to say I've to pay a final bill, for 1 - a phone not in use for over 12 months and 2 - I tried to cancel it multiple times, which can also be seen on my account.
Today the icing on the cake I get a debt recovery letter for £17.82!!
At this point I have gone with another provider thank goodness. 20+ years now be been a loyal customer and spent thousands never missed a payment, to be sent a bill for £17.82 sums up just how petty and disgusting you as a company are. Oh and I'm in credit on another contract,.should I send you a debt recovery letter if I don't receive MY money within 28 days? Avoid this shoddy greedy company at all costs.
