Hopeless data signal

Hopeless data signal in lots of locations. Often have a 5G or 4G+ signal, but no connection to the Internet. Happens lots of places, city centres, outdoor events, airports, beach, countryside

Thank you for your feedback Andy. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced difficulties with your mobile data service despite showing a 4G or 5G signal. We understand how frustrating it can be to have limited or no internet connectivity, particularly when travelling, attending events, or relying on your service in busy areas.

Mobile network performance can sometimes be affected by factors such as network congestion, local coverage conditions, and the number of users connected to a mast at the same time. We’d like to look into the signal issue with you but can’t on this platform, please get in touch using one of the following contact methods:

Atrocious customer service

O2 & VM are not autistic-friendly
Forced into taking an O2 SIM as part of a Virgin Media package 3 years ago. Since coming out of contract the price has doubled from £5 to nearly £10. My VM contract was renewed without the O2 SIM, and I've spent the past several months trying to get an answer from O2 or VM about whether I even need this SIM anymore.
Bounced from VM to O2, receiving unwanted phone calls, repeatedly given conflicting information — and to top it all off, it turns out I never even received the 4GB of data I was supposed to have all these years, meaning I've paid around £200 over the years for a service I only ever half received.
I want to cut all ties with this company and am trying to get things resolved with their complaints department, but I just keep getting confusing and contradictory answers. It really seems the system is designed to confuse and belittle people into carrying on paying for things they don't need. Absolutely fed up with this atrocious customer service and can't wait to have nothing more to do with them.

It seems the only way I'll ever get a straight answer is by raising a complaint with CISAS, the independent adjudicator — which I'll be doing shortly, as after 5+ email exchanges with their complaints team I am still no closer to getting a single one of the answers I've asked for. Just regurgitated misinformation every time.

It’s so torturously bad

It’s so torturously bad. It’s been like this for almost 2 years now. Their website was made by a 5 year old playing play dough at the time of website formation. So horrendous! The app doesn’t work most of the time and gives the same error code. When I go to top up in emergency situations, it lets me down and doesn’t work! Pathetic when they’ve got the money to easily fix these issues but don’t fix it. They don’t deserve our money!!!

We came into the 02 shop in liverpool, having had changes on my phone from Sony that we didn’t make, after long calls to O2 & Sony, we came into to store at Liverpool & spoke with Alejo who helped us with our problems.
Honestly, he was lovely, really helpful, and within half an hour had resolved the problem, had the charges take off the account , and even fixed the emails on my phone!

Lovely guy, thanks for all your help 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

If I could rate it 0 stars I would for the Complaints Dept! My device plan was added twice to my bill, I asked for one to be removed. A simple request which did not happen even although they said it would. Every time I have phoned to get my money back I get a different story everytime from the Complaints! Terrible service
