    @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.

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

    @O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

    Does anyone use @vodafone in the Northumberland area? Is it any good? I'm currently on @O2 but looking to switch networks as O2 are being extremely greedy with large price hikes on their already expensive network.

  • adshill
    Adam Hill (@adshill) reported from Morpeth, England

    @O2 I’ve just been told that the only way I can use My O2 is to setup a new email account despite My O2 saying it’s the phone number that is the problem. Do I have to have two email accounts just for O2? Seems utterly absurd.

  • Donna_xx

    @O2 is it the normal that I STILL can’t get onto my priority app after it being down for maintenance??

    @O2 hello. Do you have a link for the “keep my number” form. Website isn’t helping and store said they couldn’t help as already had the SIM card

    @O2 I can’t login into my o2 app, it says I might be a bee customer and to wait 48 hours but I’ve been a member for years 🤔 it’s just randomly started doing this

  • 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.

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

    I’m curious how my number for sold ... I think @O2 sold it. Was only 3 for 4 years. Zero issue. Was on o2 for 4 months and this happened. Bullshit.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Leggler75
    Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

    @O2 Hi. I’ve left O2 in September when my contract expired and switched to another provider. I was billed in September in error and I spoke to someone who refunded the difference from when my contract expired. I have today received a debt recovery letter???? Can someone help!

    @O2 My account was wrongly disabled (O2/Virgin issue) - your staff fixed the database issue three hours ago - how long before my service is re-instated? Your live chat can't help with this and keeps dropping me as "I can't help".

  • jennslcfc94
    MS (@jennslcfc94) reported

    @O2 my data has not worked for 2 days and I don’t know why. Your app never works. I’ve turned it all off and on and you asked me to DM but you have not helped in any way. Why has my 4G not been working!!????

  • mozzaev
    MozzaEV (@mozzaev) reported

    Used @o2 satellite up at @Beamish_Museum and was able to send and recieve texts and also whatsapps... No signal on EE so relied on o2... well done.. (this was on a iPhone 17 Pro Max)

  • Laurvy
    Lau (@Laurvy) reported

    @O2 You have connected me today and I haven’t even got my SIM card yet so I am now left with no mobile network, I also can’t sign into anything as it’s on a loop asking for a passkey, as a new customer I am regretting switching to you already

    @O2 Hi, I have been in Guadeloupe, French West Indies since February 23rd 2026. I got a text saying I have a maximum of 25 GB of roaming allowance included in my tariff. My 02 app doesn't work anymore so I can't monitor my usage. Can you help me see where I am at?

  • cryptoesim
    CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported

    @ungodlywheesa @O2 That's a bummer! What phone are you using? Most phones from 2020+ support eSIMs. If yours doesn't, it might be time for an upgrade — your future traveling self will thank you.

    @O2 It's not tv issues I have an issue with it's not being able to use rewards or just login with a o2 account as I keep being asked to link a virgin media account as previously I was just able to use my phone number which is an o2 one

    @O2 trying to correct my DoB on my contract seems to be beyond O2 ability. 6 days in, countless calls to customer service, visits to local O2 store and logging a complaint and still no closer to a resolution.
