  • 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?

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • 6danicalifornia Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Horwich, England

    I really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡

  • 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

  • Mrs_G_Bowen Just Gem 💙 (@Mrs_G_Bowen) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

  • JMcKnighty ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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.

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

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

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

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • SteveVanDang Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • tadhg50 Tim O'Ryan (@tadhg50) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 Yep-didn’t work and then tried via help centre- still no luck . I’ll DM the number

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • violetibeh Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  • SG666SG Shawn Graham (@SG666SG) reported

    @O2 Why is your chat service useless?! Over an hour talking to someone to get an upgrade and it cuts me off at the end! Try to start a new chat and now it won’t connect. Great….

  • StephFox1 Steph Fox (@StephFox1) reported

    @O2 hi I haven’t been able to sign in to my o2 account all day is there a problem with your site?

  • helenramjutton Helen Cobley (@helenramjutton) reported

    @O2 hi, I'm trying to get my PAC code as texting for it is not working. I've rung customer service twice and been on hold for 10 mins each time and then cut off. Can someone arrange for me to receive it please? I thought it was meant to be easy!

  • KrazyKirst666 Kirsty Stollery (@KrazyKirst666) reported

    Getting slightly pissed off with @O2 two days in a row I’ve had no signal or just 1 bar!! 🤬

  • louise36391363 louise cable (@louise36391363) reported

    @O2 why when leaving o2 network in June and having a 0 final bill am I still waiting for a call back to get sorted the £280 you took from my account? After numerous phone calls I want my money back

  • abstractNurban Sohail Ratansi (@abstractNurban) reported

    @O2 4G in Keswick is absolutely awful.. have 2 lines which are useful as a chocolate teapot here

  • omicdaz Daz Midgley (@omicdaz) reported from Halifax, England

    @DHLParcelUK can you check your DMs and confirm our parcels are arriving today, without a doubt the worst courier service we’ve dealt with - not sure why @O2 use you - you must cost them business

  • Ryan59226753 Ryan Walker (@Ryan59226753) reported

    @O2 3 years wtf

  • anotidaa_ Ano (@anotidaa_) reported

    @O2 😑😑😑 I’m getting tired of your tired *** network! How many times do I need to switch my phone and off just for a simple simple connection

  • Jordan_dunn94 Jordan Dunn 🏳️‍🌈 (@Jordan_dunn94) reported

    @O2 hey quick question, is there a way to get the latest APN settings for my phone, I only ask as I keep having issues with getting a signal on it. I’ve reset the network settings to see if this would help but it hasn’t. Thanks
