    @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!!

  • 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!!

  • 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!!

  • 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

    @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?

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • pilgrimbeart Pilgrim Beart (@pilgrimbeart) reported from Royston, England

    Seems @O2 are preparing for 5G by making 4G unusable - several places like this with great signal (5 bars, 4G+) but zero bandwidth

  • jodyrandall Jody Randall Esq. (@jodyrandall) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @O2 why is your 4G so bloody awful at Liverpool Street Station

  • Atanvarne ㄥ乇乂丨乇 (@Atanvarne) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @O2 That’s it. They thought that 7am was a decent time to call a customer, even without knowing that I work shifts and was working late last night. 9am I’d have considered acceptable. I wouldn’t have liked it but 9am is REASONABLE. 7am is absolutely NOT.

  • 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?

  • sarahcoysgabb sarah gabb (@sarahcoysgabb) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @O2 trying to upgrade on app and main website but when I choose it crashes can anyone help

  • 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

  • sarahcoysgabb sarah gabb (@sarahcoysgabb) reported from Broxbourne District, England

    @O2 Is incoming calls down as I have had so many missed calls from people who have had to call on landline not good for business

  • lornahamblin3 Lorna Hamblin (@lornahamblin3) reported from Royston, England

    Nice tweet @O2 though please ensure my mother's number transfer issue is rectified and I will believe your sincerity...! Delivery late and phone number transfer not yet successful so not impressed so far..perhaps if you can take calls from relatives it would help vulnerable more.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • KJDalby Kate Dalby (@KJDalby) reported from Chelmsford, England

    @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.

  • _DanWest Dan (@_DanWest) reported

    @O2 Yeah just sms’s. Data itself is terrible, always has been despite the coverage map saying otherwise. But never had any issues with sms’s until the last 4 weeks where they just keep failing to send

  • RichardFoster06 Richard Foster (@RichardFoster06) reported

    @O2 Please help been on a call for 1hr 34mins and no answer 03448090202 just ring ring if you thought I was going to join I’m certainly not now that’s for sure.

  • rowbs11 jaime cox (@rowbs11) reported

    @O2 really disappointed I never got to use my Caffe Nero drink priority 😞. I let my child use my phone and I think he activated it so now I can’t redeem. Anyway around this?? Pretty please.

  • PattonKieran . (@PattonKieran) reported

    @O2 Internet was connected just iMessage was down yesterday for a few hours.

  • fmen23 fedemenni (@fmen23) reported

    @O2 I was promised a Manager call back from telephone support last week. Still not have received it … this customer service really sucks

  • StephC66588437 Steph C (@StephC66588437) reported

    NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER USED A MORE DISFUNCTIONAL COMPANY @O2 WHICH NUMPTY HAS CANCELLED MY ORDER AFTER TELLING THEM NOT TO CAUSING ME TO NOW LOSE MY SPOT FOR A PREORDERED PHONE

  • CharlieEdd Chedders (@CharlieEdd) reported

    @AdamRutherford @O2 All the major networks seem to be as bad as each other. I won't deal with Vodafone due to them taking 3 months to stop charging me after I cancelled a contract.

  • fmen23 fedemenni (@fmen23) reported

    @O2 Issues with receiving messages and awful customer service received within the call. I was promised a call back within 48h from the call- this was last week wed

  • samwise1337 Samuel Thompson (@samwise1337) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia As a new customer to O2 and an existing customer of Virgin Media I'm extremely disappointed. We can't get an O2 VOLT upgrade applied because the accounts are in different names but the same address. Absolutely rubbish!

  • ChrisBrownsell Chris Brownsell (@ChrisBrownsell) reported

    @O2 Hello, I'm trying to see what Volt benefits I can get for being both an O2 and Virgin Media customer, but I can't seem to find an option on your website to say I'm already a VM customer. The Volt page only gives me the option to join Virgin Media.
