"The Reading assistant manager of O2 lost the most important memories of the 1st month of my newborns life, just to get a sale.\r\nMy husband went in as he had broken his phone and needed a new one. I met him at the shop and when talking to the assistant manager he said I could get an upgrade with a \u00a3200 cash back. I thought it sounded good but said I need to back up my phone. Whilst looking through my phone to see how to back it up properly the assistant manager put his hand out and said let me do it... I thought he wouldn't be in that position if he didn't know what he was doing... I handed him the phone and proceed to tell him I have alot of invaluable memories on there that I do not want to lose to which I was told he knows what he's doing. He said it was backed up handed me my phone and we went home to find nothing from my old phone was coming up on the new one. We went back to O2 the same day to be told I was being impatient and that I needed to leave it and let it all load up on the new phone. Extremely worried and distressed I went on to my laptop to see if my Google had been backed up with photos and videos but there was nothing. I logged on to my samsung cloud, again nothing backed up. We left it 24hrs and went back to O2. We were waiting for the same guy to have a look when another assistant took alook and saw that the phone had not been backed up properly. Finally the AM took the phone, reset and charged it, something started to happen, he was addiment that he had done it right because all the photo's from before it was last backed up by myself had started coming through. I told him these were from 2023 but again I was being told I was wrong and that I needed to let the phone do it's thing. We went home another 24hrs went by and nothing. I knew all the memories of my third trimester to the 1st month of my newborns life were gone and there was no way of getting this back. I couldn't bring myself to go back in the shop and talk to the assistant manager without getting angry or bursting into tears. I emailed O2 complaints explaining what had happened, I wasn't even looking to get anything out of it, just to make sure that this doesn't happen to ANYONE ELSE! and I've heard nothing back from them. I'm beyond heartbroken and crying all over again writing this and so so angry that they treat their customers this way! I will be going back to O2 and demanding that my contract is cancelled. I want nothing to do with them ever again."

“I have rated this as 1 star which is still too much but you cant leave a negative rating. I have to say in my 56 years this is the most abysmal company I have ever had the mipleasure to have dealt with and would recomend to anyoe who reads these to avoid them like the plague. The devices dont work, the customer service is shocking to say the least and the attitude of the staff you have the misfortune to deal with is beyond rude. Still owed money for funds taken out of my bank three weeks after an order was cancelled and this now is over a month. Promise after promise after promise and not a word. Sign up with 02 and repent at your leisure”

“Changed to payg after being a pay monthly customer for a year. Switched my number to the new payg sim but then was denied access to either 'My o2 ' account to see the final bill on one and my current credit situ on the payg account? Phoned customer service twice, 1st representative seemed disinterested and passed the buck by saying someone would phone me in an hour (Which never happened) So I called again and this time he just didn't listen to a word I said about my problems but kept trying to sign me for another 12 month contract and kept referring to my switch to payg as 'downgrading'? He then tried to tell me the 'My o2' account app wasn't available for payg customers as that perk was only for pay monthly???!!! Anyway needless to say this will be the shortest payg contract in history as I can't wait to drop the lying useless bunch!!!”

“O2 have provided completely false and fabricated information about me to a credit rating company called Equifax. Two weeks and two days after contacting o2 about this and after numerous phone calls/online chats/emails they still haven't done anything about it. I have been refused a mortgage as a result of the fake information o2 have provided to Equifax. Surely it is illegal to fabricate information and pass it to another company? O2 are a dreadful company and seriously need to review their procedures and consider their legal position (as do Equifax!)”

“Following 15 years as a loyal customer I have cancelled my contract with O2. The company was prepared to accept my monthly payments without any thought to the customer, I have found a competitor to O2 who have offered the same package for 75% less. It appears that 02 customer service isn't focused on customer satisfaction, Directors and Senior managers need to review the business and remove departments that aren't adding value for money. This needs to be completed quickly if you wish to retain customers and increase your market share.”

“Scam of a company, took 5 times of phoning up to cancel and chase up charges for no reason! The contract was cancelled 2 days after signing up, I was well within my 14 days, had not even received the sim. Yet second phone call after phoning to cancel the first time, I find out that she put a charge on my shut account, took 45 minutes to have them say all done and will be refunded. Phone up again money was taken from my account and they could not explain why, and eventually sorted it. Fourth time I phone because out of the blue o2 took nearly £300 out of my account, nearly an hour later on the phone of him chasing it all down and saying money would go straight back on and I would receive confirmation email. Guess what?, that did not happen so again I'm phoning up to this time, wait for it....he did no such thing! More time on the phone back and fourth to the manager to finally 🙌 get a response of money back but of course it will take 2 weeks to put it all back. 😤”

“NEVER GO WITH O2, Firstly I cancelled a contract and then was still being charge. They are now saying I haven't paid the final bill and I have evidence to prove otherwise. Worst company ever.”

“Changed to O2 last week and have not been able to use the phone away from the house WiFi as signal is a joke. Most of the time it shows emergency calls only and the download speed is a shocking 0.1Mb/s on 4g, I kid you not. This was whilst standing in front on the 5g mast whilst only receiving 4g on a 5g phone. Customer service is shocking, had to wait 30mins each time to get through with no help whatsoever, they even promised to phone me back to resolve problem but never did. Ended up going to local O2 shop to get it resolved, there was a queue of 6 people in front of me even before shop had opened, all complaining about the same joke of a network service. When I was seen I was told the mast cannot deal with the volume of people using it, I live in a holiday town so basically I have to wait till the winter to get a decent signal! JOKE OF A SERVICE PROVIDER. AVOID.”

“Absolutely disgusting customer service as in you can only get to speak speak to a real person during business hours. How can a massive company dealing with telecommunications not have 24/7 customer services? Oh yeah..they merged with THAT company that doesn’t deal with customers evenings and weekends...”

“I would like to tell people about the fantastic caring service my daughter and I got when visiting the O2 shop in Dunfermline. We were greeted by the store manager John, who listened carefully to what had happened to my daughters phone. He spent a long time researching the best possible deal (financially) for her. It was so nice to get great customer service, and that was from all their staff. So well done O2 Dunfermline. Often people only write reviews when they are negative. I for one shall confidently recommend visiting this O2 shop in Dunfermline.”

“I have been with O2 for years. Apart from being overcharged few years ago Im happy with the service & offers 02 provide. Connection is quite good, staff are mostly helpful. I would also like to mention Nathanial working in Lewisham O2 branch for his outstanding customer service. My old phone broke down and I didnt get any connection. It was old so I decided to buy new phone. Nathanial was very helpful and informative, took his time and made an effort to explain me the options I have, specifics of the phones I was considering. He also helped to me to log into my google account as I couldnt access it from my old phone. Was very friendly, polite and professional. I am very happy with the service I received and my new phone :)”

“I've been with O2 for over 15 years. Never again. I'm very disappointed of customer service. In a short story.. I tried to moved from pay as go to pay monthly on 10th. Next day I brought everything back to the shop. There was no problem with refund. Because I used to 'pay as go' and contract was 'pay monthly' , I've got a new sim card. My mobile number shouldn't change at all. After refund my phone number disappeared! O2 wasted my time and money. I've been on a phone for hours every day. I had to visit the shop nearly every day. Every day I've been told to wait 24 hours. I've got 5 diff sim cards that supposed to be my phone numer but it none of them worked. My bills, bank, all important things are connected to my mobile number and O2 was not helpful at all. I know that someone made mistake on a computer system. Finally after 12 days I've got my phone number activated.”

“I’ve complained about blatant racism in your Stretford precinct shop in Manchester The attitude of staff manager couldn’t explain so it seems to me it’s the shops policy to act in a disrespectful discriminatory fashion and expect you not to notice as if you’re supposed be an idiot as well as ethnic minority.”

“If I could rate 0 I would!! A shambles of a company!! Continued to add charges after being issued with a final bill which I paid! I had to request that final bill as no way to check what I owed previously as my app closed as soon as my contract ended, couldn’t pay over the phone because I didn’t have an o2 account!! So the only way to request my final bill was by raising a complaint with resolution centre!! 2 months after paying final bill I received a bill for 13 pounds, no idea why as I had paid my final bill as per amount resolution centre advised!! Then found 2 late payments on my credit file, have contacted to dispute, was told I had 12 pounds credit on my 02 account!! So they actually owe me 12 pounds yet have not thought to use that credit to pay towards the mystery 13 pounds, no instead add non payment to my credit file!! Can’t get through on a telephone because I no longer have an account!! Now they just ignore my emails and have left me unfairly with 2 crosses on my credit score!! Absolute shocker, made it so difficult because I chose to leave!! Stay well away”

“Shocking support, cancelled with them earlier in the year. The bloke who I spoke with said I could cancel the direct payment after the next payment came out of my account. So I did, next thing I receive a letter from debt collectors, stating I owe 45 pound. Try to log onto my account and it says I don’t have one. Shame I have to give them one star. Been with them 3 years, definitely not using them again. Terrible. Avoid.”
