  • petern280 peter nixon (@petern280) reported from Springwell, England

    @O2 is there an issue with the app data counter, mines said unavailable for the last few days

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 so… appalling service, no signal abroad, no signal at home… thought I might try to refresh my phone but it turns out that I can’t because last year there was a delay in getting my phone to me so my usual refresh date in October has been pushed back til November!

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your coverage in most of Newcastle is shocking, I live in NE2 and the best signal I get is 1 bar of 3G in my iPhone 7

  • craigblundred Craig Blundred (@craigblundred) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 hi - my wife has been trying to resolve issue with SMS settings - have disappeared yet again. Spent over an hour on live chat but keeps getting passed to different teams then cut off. Has happened before we know what needs to be done but very poor service now.

  • AngieOrrick Angie Orrick (@AngieOrrick) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @O2 you have the worst customer service ever encountered! If I could stop paying you I would! That’s your shop and by telephone

  • simonkeenan007 simon keenan (@simonkeenan007) reported from South Shields, England

    @O2 Ignore me I'm being stupid lol, now let's move alone and ignore what I said have a great day and thank you

  • KyleMarleau Kyle Marleau (@KyleMarleau) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @LukeSwinden @O2 I’m in the same battle with them. I claim they never heard of it. Can’t block that number. It’s not their fault. I signed up. I didn’t. Never heard of that before. I think @O2 sold my number or something. Shady

  • DarrenMorgan Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England

    @BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

  • ilovefluffy andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 I was supposed to get a free upgrade every 12 months but your "problems with supply" last year meant that I didn't get my new phone for over a month after I requested it, so my refresh date is a month later, which pushes it past my annual christmas trip. It's a farce.

  • doc_drops Santa Drops is coming to Toon 🎅🎅 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    You’re rolling out 5G when Newcastle doesn’t even have basic coverage, I have a 50GB contract with you and barely manage to use 2GB a month due to lack of signal/searching for free Wifi @O2

  • ilovefluffy 🎃👻💀🙀🧟‍♂️ #booToYou (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    So to be straight: because @O2 have been terrible for over a year, I can’t refresh my phone until after I get back from my Christmas trip! You’re very VERY quickly losing a customer here and I’ve been with o2 for nearly 15 years.

  • daveyK1234 Dave (@daveyK1234) reported from Walker Gate, England

    @Blyth_Spartans @O2 It was bad enough live I don’t need to see it again 😏.

  • RuxanaNargol Ruxana Nargolwala (@RuxanaNargol) reported from North Gosforth, England

    @hellyarrj @O2 Having the same problem. #o2 should deal with this. Totally unacceptable.

  • Lauras95 Lauraaaa (@Lauras95) reported from Gateshead, England

    @O2 I'll try one of these out. I've never had this problem before so hopefully it was just a one off mishap.

  • _RebeccaJT Rebecca (@_RebeccaJT) reported from Sunderland, England

    @O2 can someone please give me a response to a query, I have had an automated reply in dm which not helpful in anyway. I have tried my o2 app and it doesn’t help. I have also tried ringing o2 just keep getting cut off.

  • doc_drops Spooky Scary Skeledrops🎃🎃🎃 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • fredspoon philip (@fredspoon) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    Lots of companies doing their bit to help. I got an email from @O2 this morning and how they are helping is allowing people to access the @NHSuk websites without using your data. Whoopy ******* doodle do. I can’t wait it’s like Christmas all over again.

  • engg_rky Raj (@engg_rky) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    As expected @EE never cares about customer relationship and thus had not replied. @VodafoneUK @O2 if you have better options for me with 500 min India calls per month then please contact me I will port my number

  • sheilavictoriaR Sheila Robson (@sheilavictoriaR) reported from Chester-le-Street, England

    @O2 Im pleased 😊 scammers are awful!

    Well gee thanks for that *13* hour outage, @O2 . . (no I haven't been asleep - breathing not up to that today #LongCovid)

  • IamIronLamb Stuart Ramsay (@IamIronLamb) reported

    @o2 hi, i hope someone can help, my wife upgraded her phone yesterday to a S21 Ultra 5g and after doing the SIMswap, she is unable to receive texts. Any texts go to her old sim and phone if its on. We've tried all the suggested solutions but nothing is working. Can anyone help?

  • CakeyKevin Kevin Cakey Evans. (@CakeyKevin) reported

    What the heck is going on? 2 days no signal, TA81LF. @O2

  • JustBeingTrueMe Samantha Norris (@JustBeingTrueMe) reported

    @O2 sort your god damn signal issues out in Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset, UK ... I keep reporting this issue time and time and time and time and time again only to be told there is NOT an issue when there clearly is #O2UK

  • clintonola2j Clinton (@clintonola2j) reported

    Just clocked I’m paying for unlimited data when I’m locked down at home using the WiFi 🤔 @O2 we need to talk

  • JewiJ88 Jewi (@JewiJ88) reported from Leicestershire, England

    Hey @O2 , question!! My iPhone 12 Pro max has issues when turning on or off, it glitches and taken ages to do either .. is this a fault in the software or a phone issue ? #apple #iPhone

  • HollyR88 Holly Robinson (@HollyR88) reported

    @O2 It doesn't seem to be a WiFi issue. As I'm not getting voicemail notifications or text notifications on 4g until hours later!

  • charliefrake Charles Frake (@charliefrake) reported

    @bennidaytime @actionfrauduk I got an O2 one a couple weeks ago. Told them about it and the site was taken down within half hour. Proper good response from @O2

  • tattoomrmagoo Lewis McNamara (@tattoomrmagoo) reported

    @O2 I've already asked for the phone to be returned, the mainboard, digitizer, fingerprint sensor and camera / mic array are worth more than £27. There's a gaping hole here with the process and your customer service just quoting "out of house insurance t&c" is pitiful.

  • EddySmithRN Ed (@EddySmithRN) reported

    @O2 I get alot of calls from strangers and sometimes when people call me (despite us both having signal and being in the same room) it doesn't come through
