    Hey @O2 . Stop sending out texts messages with videos. Videos are a known way of spreading viruses and rootbots to mobile phones. I never open texts with videos attached.

    @O2 what has happened in the Waterloo /Crosby area? In the past 6 months whilst I'm here at work my signal doesn't go past 1 bar. My daughter is here today with her phone and hers is the same. I can't make phone calls incase it cuts out.

    @O2 why is it that my phone says it is a 4g signal but can't download anything? And don't start me about the 5g myth.

    @O2 @KemiBadenoch …or waiting for ‘permission from a landlord to enter a site’ which has undergone planned maintenance throughout the year without access issues. Still no date for work to be started or completed for our community. Still paying our bills for no service.

    @O2 Hey - can you tell me what “Thanks for the message. Configure your number's SMS URL to change this message.Reply HELP for help.Reply STOP to unsubscribe.Msg&Data rates may apply.” means? I’m trying to text from Greece to UK? Tia

    @neilnellie @O2 Same with @vodafone mate, both have shabby coverage in large parts of the country. Their network coverage maps are the work of Enid Blyton
