  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Dr_Bass Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • clare_jeffs Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • stuartmacey Stuart Macey (@stuartmacey) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 Well they have just screwed up my number port from EE and the customer reps make me feel like I have done something wrong. Told it would be addressed urgently, by which they mean 3 to 5 days. They were not impressed when I said I hope you don’t need urgent medical attention.

  • JaneBendall Jane Bendall (@JaneBendall) reported

    @O2 have spent over 3 hours this afternoon trying to cancel a contract that I thought had ended 18 months ago, have spoken to 4 different people but still haven’t cancelled contract. At one point after an hour and a half phone line was disconnected. Absolutely not good enough

  • sallystrawb2 sallystrawb (@sallystrawb2) reported

    @O2 I don’t have an o2 number but am a virgin media customer … it won’t let me past the “o2 number “ part of the prize draw page

  • stuartmacey Stuart Macey (@stuartmacey) reported

    @O2 No I’m afraid it’s Virgin Mobile. Simply put if it’s not resolved by tomorrow I shall look to move back to EE. I shall also take my two existing mobile accounts away plus my broadband, landline and tv. Absolutely appalling customer service over this matter and hours waisted

  • GirafeProject Dr Alison Robinson 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@GirafeProject) reported

    @O2 I was offered six months of Apple Music free with my contract but one redeeming only received 3? Can you help?

  • simms_herman herman anthony simms (@simms_herman) reported

    @simonkeenan007 @virginmedia @O2 If you're referring to me **** wipe I work and have been for the last 20 years so I suggest you shut up or back it up! So get the facts before you open your trap. *** hole. I don't like being shafted by big corporations and fat cats who make **** loads of money

  • benostanners87 benostanners87 (@benostanners87) reported

    @O2 need help spoke to someone on Friday needed an email to get the free chrome book nothing and can't speak to anyone on 202 HELP

  • TextualVoice Đ (@TextualVoice) reported

    @O2 been more than an hour on customer service waiting and then it cut off, on call again and passed 30 mins, very poor.

  • jas1don Jason Williams (@jas1don) reported

    @O2 hello. Trying to redeem the benefits of being an o2 customer and virgin media customer, but each website keeps sending me back to the other, complete circles! What do I need to do?!

  • melioramark Mark Grimshaw (@melioramark) reported

    @O2 Disgraceful customer service. Been trying to talk to a customer service rep for weeks and keep getting hung up on. Terrible
