I had a contract for me and my wife for more than 3 years.
At some point, I got an offer by phone from O2 service personnel.
They knew I'm a customer and they offered me a new contract because it will be cheaper than my existing one.
So I signed it. Then I realised that they didn't cancel my previous contract. I realised it after 14 days. Now they refuse me to cancel one of the contracts.
I need to pay for 4 numbers for the full next year now.
THIS IS THE SCAM, literally.
I close all the relations with them once the contracts are ended.... Never O2 again!

22 min waiting on the phone waiting for anyone to answer me … i was convinced sign a new contract and that they can port my line to another line without loosing my number … its been a month now
Worst Customer Service!
I’ve never encountered such poor customer treatment. I cannot recommend O2 as a provider to anyone.
I had a two-year contract for a SIM card, but when my phone broke, I asked to update my contract and include a new mobile phone. To my surprise, they told me I’d need to sign a separate contract for the phone! How does it make sense to pay for two separate contracts with the same provider?
O2 seems only interested in taking your money. There’s no proper consultation or support. What’s even more disappointing is that they seem to take advantage of newcomers.
Save yourself the trouble—stay far away from O2!
Terrible service, today I finally decided that O2 is not good at all. The stupid site where you have to extend your contract doesn't work, it's refreshing all the time and the live chat and customer supports of any kind doesn't work (says System fehler).
Also their offers are scam, better buy some devices on other places because it's cheaper 200-300 hunder euros.

Beware of these thieves , they manipulate you to sign contracts.
One of the worst experiences I had was with this stupid service. They call you saying that they have better offers for you because you were their long term customer and said that I can import my old number and keep using it and now after many calls they did not import my number and kept saying it will be done soon but nothing worked, they did not do anything and now they are saying that I need to have 2 sim contracts which I don’t need. Making the new contract was done in 5 minutes via a phone call but to cancel it we need to make so many calls to their customer service and Everytime a new employee comes up with a new rule and we were still unsuccessful in cancelling the contract which they kept it till 2026 without my consent. They just want to tire you out and manipulate you into using their services but wont cancel your contract. Even 2 weeks ago we called and employee said that the contract has been cancelled auccesfully but when we called them last week they said it was not cancelled. This is beyond stealing innocent people money.
They are the worst and beware of them , never sign a contract with them because you will never be able to get out of it.

They manipulate their customers by offering specific prices, but when you subscribe you will be surprised by another higher price, without making it clear from the beginning. Moreover, their customer service are totally unprofessional and superficial!

If I can give 0 I would give 0
If I can give 0 I would give 0. They have one of the worst services possible in germany, first they call me because I was their longest customer and to offer me some discount of I take a new sim contract and that I can import my old number within 24 hours but now if I call them after a month because number was not changed and it’s important that I have my old number with me their response is that I have to keep 2 contracts and 2 sims even if I don’t need them and that number importing was not applicable and it’s very stupid because I called them at least twice before that and they kept telling me that I have to just wait and importing is in process and I find all this extremely dumb and that O2 people are bunch of thieves and their customer Service is a nightmare every time new person comes up with new rules

I am extremely disappointed with their service
I am extremely disappointed with o2.de's handling of contract cancellations. I specifically chose a monthly contract and paid extra for the flexibility to cancel it easily, but the reality is far from simple. Despite their promises, the process is riddled with unnecessary roadblocks designed to frustrate customers and keep them paying.
Firstly, they refuse to cancel contracts in-store, forcing you to rely on their online system. However, the online cancellation process is intentionally complicated. Even if you submit the form correctly, they seem to find minor, arbitrary issues to reject your request, ensuring they can continue charging you. To make matters worse, they only send critical updates via SMS instead of email, which can easily be missed, especially if you're using a data-only plan in a modem. It feels like they deliberately choose the least reliable method of communication to create more hurdles.
If you're looking for flexibility and transparency, I strongly advise you to avoid o2.de. Their practices are misleading, untrustworthy, and exploitative. I deeply regret signing up with them—save yourself the headache and choose another provider!

It is a scam
It is a scam, run away, never get a contract or you will regret it when you decide to cancel the subscription. I left Germany and the agent explained me how to return the rooter, scanning the QR code and then sending it via dhl. I did exactly as they said, following their protocol. I am outside Germany and they say they never received the rooter from DHL. I have the receipt from dhl still. Every month they send me different bill for it. When we speak and explain the situation they say they will open a ticket. I have probably had 100 calls with their customer support. Every agent say the exact opposite thing. One said your account is closed, but why they keep billing me every month. Apparently i am hiring a layer and will fight o2. They are very sneaky and will do their best to charge you as much as possible.i never in my life had a worse experience with other operator and i lived in 8 countries. Never ever get anything beside prepaid with this scammers

O2 is a joke of a company
O2 is a joke of a company! At least in Germany! I have never experienced such bad internet in my life…Every other day it’s down and not working…when it’s working, it’s slow as a snail…you can’t even have a proper iphone software download without the internet constantly crashing! It’s 2024!! wake up O2 or make room for others!!!

The worst company I ever had to deal with. The customer service is inexistant. The network quality is really bad. I wouldn't recommend this company. Definitely the worst internet provider of Germany.
I'm trying to cancel my contract because of the quality of the network 5G very bad and totally not useable. I sent email, letter, call many times, WhatsApp message but the only thing they're doing is intimidating me with lawyer papers to claim the payments for an inexistant service.

I visited O2 kiosk in MediaMarkt…
I visited O2 kiosk in MediaMarkt Hamburg today (October 21st) to resolve an issue with my O2 contract. Unfortunately, my experience was deeply disappointing due to the unprofessional behavior of a staff member at the O2 kiosk. From the moment I started explaining my situation, she seemed disinterested and cut me off mid-sentence, displaying no patience or customer service skills.
When I tried to clarify my issue, she responded in a dismissive and sarcastic manner, which felt extremely disrespectful. I was there to inquire a payment for my contract, which had previously been rejected by my bank on October 10th, but her attitude made the situation much worse. When I asked for the address, she didn’t even take the time to spell it out, just pointing vaguely and leaving me confused.
I mentioned that she could be more friendly, to which she responded that she was trying to be friendly—this didn’t reflect at all in her actions. Her behavior was incredibly unprofessional, and I left the store feeling hurt and frustrated.
It’s shocking that O2 continues to employ staff who treat customers with such disregard. This was a terrible experience, and I’m extremely disappointed in how this was handled.

Be careful with them
2 years ago, without my knowledge, they connected me to a paid service related to games, which I had never even heard of or agreed to. I accidentally noticed it in the account details. After I complained, they agreed to refund my money only for six months.

Worst company I've ever used
Worst company for a mobile plan I've ever dealt with. Worst coverage, reception, and app. Trying to sort out different plans was a nightmare. Even getting SEPA to finally work was awful. Worst English support.

It's better to keep away from it, at whatever costs.
It's easier if you go and fight in a war than staying connected in this network. Doesn't matter what they charge, it's a peculiar pool of ip's and technologies, artificial intelligence, telematics, remote signaling, filled with all kinds of surprises.

The Worst Service and English Support i have ever seen
Dear o2,
I want to inform you that I’ve had the worst experience with your English support in Germany.
A few minutes ago, I called the English support line you provided, and the representative was disrespectful and offered no assistance. To make matters worse, he ended the call abruptly without resolving anything.
Thank you for that, and shame on you for such poor service.
