Terrible

First ever review this company are that poor. I would give them zero stars if I could. The customer service is awful, always trying to sell you something even when you explicitly ask them not to. I have spent months and months having to get costs reimbursed for a contract that was offered to me and then over charged. Useless, incompetent and solely profit focused with customer service as a side thought. DO NOT GET AN O2 CONTRACT!

Too expensive and no longer any positive points

Just generally becoming a poor choice of mobile. The price is becoming too expensive while the Priority app seems to be just be tricking people to hand over their details for a possible free sample that often doesn't even come, instead of having a good offers like there used to be. The My 02 app doesn't always work so you can end up in a loop of logging in without getting anywhere (I'm abroad and this is the second time in a week that I am unable to log in amd so cannot check my remaining data allowance, and am actually using up the last of my allowance to try and see if I have enough data left!)
It's time, after about 15 years, to look for a different deal.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear that you feel O2 no longer offers the value and experience you've come to expect after around 15 years as a customer. We understand how frustrating it can be when prices increase while features and services that were once important to you no longer feel as beneficial.

We're also disappointed to hear about the difficulties you've experienced with the My O2 app, particularly while travelling abroad. We appreciate how important it is to be able to access your account and monitor your data usage when away from home, and we understand why repeated login issues would be frustrating.

We value your feedback regarding both O2 Priority and My O2, and we're sorry to hear that these experiences have left you considering alternative providers.

If you're experiencing issues accessing My O2 or need help with roaming, please get in touch using one of the methods below:

Roaming included, what's not to like

I like knowing that I can go to Europe and don't have the hassle of sorting out roaming. Long may it continue! O2 were great at sorting out adding my daughter to the plan and also switching to virgin.

I’ve never been able to access my Virgin Media account or my O2 accounts since they linked their technology with Virgin.

Absolute nightmare!

I’d like to think I’m pretty tech savvy and have tried everything.

Even their customer services can’t sort it out.

I experienced significant network issues with the Wi-Fi connection, which prevented me from ordering a Bolt or Uber to get to my destination. This caused a considerable delay and was extremely frustrating. The connection was very poor, even though I was using my data allowance. I was able to make phone calls, which worked without any issues, but the internet connection was unreliable throughout.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. We can understand how frustrating it must have been to experience connectivity issues when you were trying to arrange transport and get to your destination, particularly when services such as Bolt and Uber rely on a stable internet connection.

We're disappointed to hear that, although you were able to make calls successfully, your data connection was unreliable and did not perform as expected. We appreciate how disruptive this can be, especially when you're relying on your phone while on the move.

Changing from unlimited data to only 1 gig is still £25.30/month (no device). Where other providers are £1 to £3. Price Anchoring!! Gym contract scamming was outlawed but mobile phone companies continue! Calling the UK government to step in and investigate!

Locked in for a year with no service at home. Not able to cancel plan for the year. Wifes opinion follows. She is absolutely correct it is a smart choice financially and mentally to never take a phone contract with o2 again .she was 100 percent correct and I was wrong these people are legal bandits who some how manage to tow the line of complete incompetence yet not so far as to break the law and we must be wary of falling into these “ in total accordance with the law “ money traps .
