  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Called to complain about poor network coverage where I live and work. Battery died whilst waiting on hold forever.

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    How poor is the coverage from @virgin mobile? Since the merger with @O2 the mobile coverage is appalling. Massive price increase on all plans/ packages yet the network service is worse than ever

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 yet again unable to charge my car because the signal from isn’t good enough.

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • PongoVilla PongoVilla (@PongoVilla) reported from Birmingham, England

    Why has #o2 gone crap since they merged with #Virgin time to move @o2

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I also had the young lad on the call say “if I cancel any of your charges today I was told my job would be effected” disgusting @O2 - instead of gas lighting your clients and threatening your staff, perhaps get a member of management to actually do their job and HELP!?

  • sabphotos69 SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England

    @TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.

  • charlll18x Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Don’t know what I’m paying for as it is can’t name a place I actually get signal, now a massive price increase. Can’t wait to leave @O2

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 really disappointed with the service I’m getting from O2. Poor coverage, dropped calls, slow texts, no internet, been like this for 5 months, No sign of a fix, difficult call centre staff hide behind “policy” to avoid being helpful. If you need a new provider - Avoid O2

  • _tombradshaw Tom Bradshaw (@_tombradshaw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @EnglandRugby @SixNationsRugby @O2 Hate seeing Marchant out the 23, feels like he never gets a run of games… but a strong team, and a hell of a bench!

  • sabphotos69 SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Woodside, England

    @simonmaroulis @O2 @ThreeUK The mast near me. Hasn’t worked in now 19months. I understand dead spots, but I struggle to get a 4g signal anywhere. Utterly ridiculous.

  • sukirandhawa4x4 Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #PathaanCollection WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering considering moving on to another network.

  • ChrisJSharratt_ ChrisJSharratt_ (@ChrisJSharratt_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I ordered a phone on the train today and only found out you need ID after. I have a copy on my phone, you can check with my work and I will be getting rid of this phone in an hour!!!!!! What ******** am I meant to do?!!!!!

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Thanks, it was worth a try, but unfortunately I can't open the link because my connection speed is apparently too slow.

  • sukirandhawa4x4 Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering all the time, considering moving on to another network after 20 plus years with you.

  • weebtrashperson Hayley C (@weebtrashperson) reported

    @O2 You have no reported issues. I just have zero signal meaning I have missed important calls today. Annoyingly its somehow still legal for you to put in your contracts that you don't guarantee service so im stuck @Ofcom

  • larissaharring Larissa (@larissaharring) reported

    @O2 Hi there, it was a student discount that was supposed to last my 36 month contract. I’ve been looking into upgrading but the offers I find on your store are never in my myo2 to be able to go through with the purchase. I’m going into my local o2 shop this weekend to hopefully

  • felixeemopener simon bennett (@felixeemopener) reported

    @whos81 @O2 It’s the same with me for Vodafone. I think it’s a bandwidth issue. Too many people and not enough web

  • TheBeesleyBuzz TheBeesleyBuzz (@TheBeesleyBuzz) reported

    @O2 My new phone keeps "crashing" / appears pixelated at times and stops working. Am getting nowhere with virtual assistant on O2 website and no-one available on live chat - please help!

  • cymraesydwi Cymraesydwi 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇦 💜🤍💚 (@cymraesydwi) reported

    Really, really regretting leaving @O2 and moving to @tescomobile . Tesco service has been absolutely shocking. I've been waiting for them to port my number since 6th Dec. Multiple online chats, conversations with staff in-store, DMs on here and zero progress.

  • larissaharring Larissa (@larissaharring) reported

    @O2 upgrade and see if my connection issues are fixed if I upgrade. My internet and signal are so poor when I’m not connected to the internet that I cannot make calls or texts in certain areas that only have 4G.

  • appccessible Kevin (@appccessible) reported

    A bigger issue at @O2 is how badly they fail visually impaired customers. Trying to make a payment for 20 minutes constantly put on hold, then asked to enter details via my keypad. #a11y

  • ApplecogSpencer Apple Spencer (@ApplecogSpencer) reported

    @O2 cracking service been with 02 approx 20 years still can’t put phone in married name or business name but Samantha happy to put me thru to get me PAC code to ******* - doesn’t give a fk!! Then I got Ilyaas and Craig two lovely guys who sorted everything out 🙏🏼🙏🏼

  • Connor_James94 Connor (@Connor_James94) reported

    @O2 it’s truely insane how terrible my time with this company has been. I couldn’t honestly recommend them to anyone. From signal issues in a city centre, to finding it next to impossible to speak to a human when you need to. Go anywhere else

  • PaulaLo98751241 Paula Lowe (@PaulaLo98751241) reported

    @O2 No reply o2 and no port of number today. Apparantly its been delayed. Would anyone care to advise if its likely to happen tomorrow and what the issue actually is?
