    @O2 urgent my new provider activated the PAC code provided by you. Their sim card does not work because apparently my device is locked with you. I cannot text you to get it unlocked. Please help asap.

  • leon_dave_smith Leon Smith🇬🇧🇪🇺❄️ (@leon_dave_smith) reported from Harlow, England

    @tescomobile @O2 any coverage issues in CM20, been terrible yesterday and today, signal 4G keeps dropping out

  • jill_jtc Jill T food safety (@jill_jtc) reported from Sawbridgeworth, England

    @O2 Sounds easy doesn’t it!! Every call is from a different number, it wears me down, in excess of 20 yesterday all blocked & inadvertently called a couple back in error trying to block late at night with brain fog. So cross!!

  • ashley_leggett Ashley Leggett (@ashley_leggett) reported from Great Leighs, England

    @O2 The fact it’s in 3 seperate locations, where my current projects are located, suggests it’s on your side. To use the excuse that there is too much traffic is also ridiculous as means you have over sold your network.

  • Uptowndiscos Uptown entertainment discos (@Uptowndiscos) reported from Harlow, England

    @techdotintel @virginmedia @O2 I'm currently a Virgin media customer and business O2 customer. Do I qualify?

  • EmRosePull Emmss (@EmRosePull) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @O2 GREAT NETWORK IS DOWN AGAIN!!

  • Uptowndiscos Uptown entertainment discos (@Uptowndiscos) reported from Harlow, England

    @O2 the answer to that question is primarily no. I would have to leave Virgin as a HOME customer and then sign up as a business customer? What about my TV package?

  • 1011FOXEE beverley fox (@1011FOXEE) reported from Takeley, England

    @O2 I am trying to apply the discount I get for working at Tesco,it won’t let me use my email as used for my daughters account,help!!

  • j4cobwood Jacob Wood (@j4cobwood) reported from Harlow, England

    @O2 I need support with my network, I’ve tried everything that the website says, my calls won’t connect and when they do the sound is cracking and poor. Most of people trying to call me can never get through either. This has been happening for months now

  • SimonHemmingshj Simon Hemmings (@SimonHemmingshj) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @O2 @GarethTurpin I appreciate your personal message. However, I now remember why I left you last time, lower than average service, and now a 17.3% total price increase, which is disproportionate and completely knobbish if you ask me. @BBCNews

  • jill_jtc Jill T food safety (@jill_jtc) reported from Sawbridgeworth, England

    @GlassBeadsLotti @O2 Thanks - trouble is it’s not a fault with the phone; service providers have got to up theirs game to stop this happening!!

  • JulianLittle4Ag Julian Little (@JulianLittle4Ag) reported from Little Dunmow, England

    Apologies to anyone who has tried to call me at the back end of this week. Badly let down by the useless service @O2 who are now saying that it will take ANOTHER 3 working days to move my number 🤬.

  • LongshanksE10 Richard Astley (@LongshanksE10) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @o2 I ,along with seemingly many others, wish to know why your 4G has been virtually useless over the last week or so please, or better yet, when the service will improve, but you don’t seem to be replying to anyone. Please help.

  • RyanSchaverien Ryan_Schaverien (@RyanSchaverien) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @O2 Extremely slow data coverage for the past 3 weeks.... any help?

  • Uptowndiscos Uptown entertainment discos (@Uptowndiscos) reported from Harlow, England

    @techdotintel @virginmedia @O2 I'm a virgin HOME customer and an O2 business customer but I don't qualify

  • paulhayward200 Paul (@paulhayward200) reported from Wendens Ambo, England

    @O2 Took out a new IPhone contract back in November. No problems paying but I wanted to add a Apple Watch on the account. O2 keep on cancelling the order even though I pass the credit check.

  • AbbeygaleRose 𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐞 (@AbbeygaleRose) reported from Chelmsford, England

    Beginning to regret renewing my contract with O2, their coverage in Chelmsford is awful. My 4G works about 20% of the time. @O2

  • tomtilly28 Adam Dack (@tomtilly28) reported from Harlow, England

    @O2 what are u doing my phone has just died logged in and all my service been disconnected why !!! Idiots

  • hadhamlane Andy Lane (@hadhamlane) reported from Bishop's Stortford, England

    @O2 ...and then when you’re signed up they change your deal to make you worse off. #O2 reducing the friends & family discount for a loyal customer is the last straw for me.. #O2

  • cabbage1875 RM (@cabbage1875) reported

  • Mark29071823 Mark (@Mark29071823) reported

  • s_w_photograph Stuart Williamson Photography (@s_w_photograph) reported

    @O2 @bruskyyyy Try turning your phone on & off. I had the same signal issue around Clifton a few days ago, turned my phone on & off, resolved the issue & got 5G back

  • hicky2506 Ryan (@hicky2506) reported
