  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity MIH MBII (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    The @O2 network in this area is so bad. I am constantly telling people not to take out a contract with @o2 and the company doesn't listen to their customers when they tell the company there is problems with signal and coverage issues.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    So glad I have @bt wifi at home because @o2 mobile broadband is terribly slow around here.

  • BaldManGamer Santa BmG (@BaldManGamer) reported from Middleton, England

    This Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Done, but I'm not expecting you to tell me there is a problem when this has been like this since I moved to the area 9 month ago

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    I have had to lower my @O2 mobile network mode to #3G because the reception around here for anything higher is next to nothing. Have complained about this in the past and go not further communication, quite fitting really to have no communication when it comes to signal.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 This has no effect on my issue.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Your service is rubbish. Tried calling but can't get through u less I'm reporting a fraud or lost or stolen phone. Someone please answer!!! I'm getting sick of your rubbish service!!!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity MIH MBII (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Your always sorry but nothing actually ever gets done about it. Just fob me off saying "well at time of point of sale, you will have signed to understand". I have already persuaded my whole family to go to a different network one of your competitors, and I will tell more people.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 why am I receiving a text message today telling me you were unable to process my payment? When it was taken yesterday from my bank account!!! It seems to be one thing after another with your service lately!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @atkin_julie @O2 I have had the same issues.

  • Treaders1984 Michael Treadwell (@Treaders1984) reported from Penwortham, England

    @O2 why is the mobile data signal so poor in Preston and the surrounding areas?!? Got a text to say you were improving the sigbal in our area and ever since its veen worse! #no4gor3g #20GBwasted

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from South Shore, England

    @O2 now I know you are lying when you tell me there is nothing wrong with your signal or reception. Stood literally by the side of a mast located from your 'mynetwork' app and its giving me next to nothing. 9 month complaining to you, now I know it's an issue on you

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 No you can't help because you haven't been able to help for the past 6 month whilst I have had this problem

  • sammyjayne182 Sam Dugdale (@sammyjayne182) reported from Stalmine, England

    Only me would buy a new sim for a network provider who doesn’t seem to have signal in my house 🙈 @O2 doesn’t seem to do rural addresses 🌱

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 Brace yourself for a string of promises that will never actually materialise...

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    After complaining for over 9 month about reception and signal strength in my area, @O2 advice me to change the sim, now brand new sim card and still the reception and signal is horrendous. So @o2 what is your recommendation now???

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 can i ask what 4G speed your network should be giving out to the 99% of the UK you advertise.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 please help with sim swap, I have already DM you to help

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    Having to restrict my mobile to @o2 3G service because the 4G is absolutely shocking. And #o2 keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the service!!! Can't be me who is the liar as I'm getting nothing through my mobile!!!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Can I not ring? I have messaged on here loads of times in the past and nothing gets done! Plus my partner is having the same issues as me and we are getting sick of paying for a service we are not receiving

  • BenGlasgow_ Ben Glasgow (@BenGlasgow_) reported

    @O2 Hello, just a quick one. By default do most/all pay monthly sims have access to 5G or is this a paid upgrade? Is there any way I can check if its included with my service plan or through the My O2 app? Thanks!

  • joebonthuys Joseph Bonthuys (@joebonthuys) reported

    @O2 I’ve got no issue doing ‘security’ publicly. My account will be of no use to anyone as I’m taking my custom elsewhere. Don’t want anything hidden behind DM’s. Just want my hard earned money back! You was quick enough to take it. 4 months is beyond a joke!

  • WoodyWoodywhoo Woodywhoo (@WoodyWoodywhoo) reported

    @O2 you have the worst customer service I've ever received they are happy for me to pay for a service they can NOT provide and don't even KNOW when it will come back on AND NO YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY FRUSTRATIONS OR YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT @EE I'll be call in tomorrow

  • Linkmarine15 《⬡》 $link ¥ou ₩!n 《⬡》 (@Linkmarine15) reported

    @O2 I did ur guide and sent many reports that ots down! Seems even here ur advised to pass the buck! I live in clear sight of a tower so that will help u because if ur asking where means likly no one else is getting a good service! U work it out or make ur reports and repairs final!

  • sipcfc79 Simon Powell (@sipcfc79) reported

    @VMO2News Hopefully you have @O2 customer service & not the ever abismal @virginmedia customer service

  • RobertPhilpot Robert Philpot (@RobertPhilpot) reported

    @Phonemast @O2 @VodafoneUK May I ask if there is a central source for mast applications? As you may know I am in the middle of an area of poor signals and would like to keep an eye on developments in the hope of seeing more than one signal bar before I die! Thanks.

  • crookedmeadows Annoying Protester (@crookedmeadows) reported

    So now that @virginmedia and @O2 are united as one, will O2 dump their absolutely awful business online account management system, and will my Broadband and mobile accounts become one. Hoping for service integration and a simpler life. (Don't get me started on banking!)

  • RiflemanMac RiflemanMac 🇬🇧 (@RiflemanMac) reported

    @O2 when are you gonna sort the data signal in the Aldershot area. 4G is completely unworkable. It’s been going on for months now and is getting beyond unacceptable.

  • RachhGrayy Rach 🐝 (@RachhGrayy) reported

    @O2 please sort your signal out I've not had barely any for weeks now, same for everyone in my house

  • _reBeccaK Becca K (@_reBeccaK) reported

    @HelloTerriLowe @CountryGalLaura @O2 Sorry, what’s 7726? I’ve never heard of forwarding spam to it before
