After my contract finished I was told I had £135 in credit. After 4 telephone calls lasting on average 30 minutes and at least 4 emails to the complaints team no one has got back to me. Appare... See more

Avoid O2 Business at all costs. They set up my Direct Debit incorrectly and failed to take any payments. When I noticed, I called them and paid the outstanding balance directly. Two weeks later,... See more

Disgraceful experience, loss of business

Switched from Vodafone to O2 Business and I have been on the phone with O2 for the last 5 weeks trying to fix the fact that I'm not receiving text messages. I have called 12-15 times by now, to each time hear the same broken record. Been told several times I would be called back by technicians and supervisors, which hasn't happened once.
This is affecting severely my business, not to mention the waste of time on the phone, up to 2 hours at one time.
Looking for legal advice to get compensation for caused loss of business.
Filed a complaint 2 weeks ago, still waiting to hear back.
Dreadful.

Utterly inept and useless as with…

Utterly inept and useless as with absolutely everything to do with this pitiful and inept company. I hope the entire company goes bust and everyone that works there runs out of hot water when next in the shower AFTER they have lathered their hair. Seriously, they are at the absolute apex of everything that is wrong with corporate outsourced tech led useless customer service.

I echo the bad reviews

I echo the bad reviews.

I have been trying to have 02 Business address a complaint in writing relating to interruption in sev ice since November 2024 to no avail. They simply email and say it has been resolved when it has not. They give you an email address to write to that relates to the personal account and not business and then say that they will pass it to business and do not.

Today, I had a call handler from somewhere in Asia tell me that he was going to transfer me to the correct dept and he would explain the problem and when the call was picked up, he had simply dumped the number into the technical team. It is getting to the stage that I might as well issue proceedings. At least then they might wake up. This poor customer service is everything that is wrong with the UK now. Cutting costs and screwing the customers.

PS - I have found that every time you write to O2, they start up a fresh complaint number. It seems to be absolutely chaotic there and it is no wonder that they are in disarray.
