Gary at O2 in Belfast Corn Market was a breath of fresh air from the usual customer service reps that you have to deal with. Gary was able to change over my old Sim onto a New one which I purchased at the store. He explained and confirmed what needed done without any fuss whilst dealing with queries from his colleagues who to put it politely where not as knowledgeable as he was in dealing with technical issues. He is a credit to the O2 establishment- Well done.

Roaming cap does not include rollover minutes

We recently went to Greece on holiday and although the O2 app said I had 28GB of data left, I used only 13GB of this before I had a message saying my data was almost used. While I understand there is a cap of 25GB while roaming, I did not think I would have to top up as long as I did not exceed 25GB. Apparently it seems that my rollover minutes are not available for use while roaming? A lesson learned and around £20 added to my monthly bill...

Soun was incredibly helpful

Soun was incredibly helpful, efficient, proactive, and genuinely client-focused. She went above and beyond to help my parents and me complete the essential work required to transfer their contracts. When the situation required solutions beyond her direct responsibilities, she did absolutely everything she could to support us in dealing with O2 Customer Service.

Simply brilliant, kind, and exceptional at what she does. Thank you so much—you truly made our day!

Expensive for no signal. Daylight robbery!

I am very disappointed with signal service in my area. What used to be one of the better ones is now quite definitely the worst. I was in town today, outside on a clear day and still could not get enough signal to open an app.
I finally have made it to the end of my expensive contract and will no longer stay with this company. What with mid contract price increases and poor signal, it is not value for money.

I've been trying to upgrade my handset for over a year.I can't even access the 02 website.
When the site didnt recognise my password i requested a new one. Everytime i try to set up a new pw, the page states the link as expired.
If i were to cancel my payments with 02, i bet they would be straight on to my case. They are a nightmare to deal with.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We can understand how frustrating it must be to have been trying to upgrade your handset for such a long time, only to encounter problems accessing your online account and resetting your password.

We appreciate how disappointing it is when you're unable to manage your account online, particularly when password reset links appear to expire before you can use them. We're sorry to hear that these issues have prevented you from progressing with your upgrade and left you feeling frustrated.

Tough times require tough sales tactics. This bunch takes this to a new level apparently.
Having gone elsewhere after more than 20 years custom, i am plagued daily with spam calls from “I am Dan (?) from O2, how are you today?”

O2 awaited my call, and after rattling around their pseudo-human system a jolly nice chap had a look. These are spam calls, and O2 appear helpless. I was given sound advice and will follow it! We live in a time of crime.

O2 took £500 from my mother’s account despite assurance that there was nothing outstanding to pay. The direct debits were no longer authorised. This is immoral. My mother is 86 and recently widowed. They did not contact her to say they were taking this money. Earlier this year they got a debt collector involved despite having given the required notice to end her contracts This is bullying and harassment of a vulnerable elderly person. Disgusting!

Sent police to my address

Sent police to my address because they thought I'd killed myself.
I did tell them I was not there, which was the truth.
The police forced entry and billed me for the damage to the door, even though I was not there.
I'm raising a case to take O2 to court over the stress, mental health impact and property damage they have initiated.
They also say that 'the specialist team' will be in touch.
Never happens though.
They are happy and proud to agitate mental health issues and make them worse for you.
