    @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!

  • farrenciaran
    Ciarán (@farrenciaran) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    Hey @O2! 👋👋👋 You are really starting to make me angry. Why is my internet connection very slow, even when on 4G. I cannot deal withe pausing videos, apps and webpages not loading. Sort it out!

    @O2 Your service in NE2 is shocking

  • SgawShaw
    Muriel Sgaw (@SgawShaw) reported from Seaham, England

    @O2 @EleanorRylance And sack the poor employee?

  • Donna_xx
    Donna_xx (@Donna_xx) reported from Sunderland, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MattKeena
    🏳️‍🌈Matt Keena🏳️‍🌈 (@MattKeena) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 are you going to reduce my bill, because the signal I’m receiving for £78 a month is shocking! Not happy

  • chellehewison
    Michelle Hewison (@chellehewison) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Any issues in the Whitley Bay (NE26) area with mobile signal this weekend? I’ve barely been able to get 3G at times let alone anything else!

  • 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

  • DarranBlackshaw
    Darran Blackshaw (@DarranBlackshaw) reported from Seaton Valley, England

    @O2 rang for help and answering machine says ring back in 24hrs and hangs up -really ??

  • andyphilipson
    Bilbo Gubbins (@andyphilipson) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @O2 Hey I just received a text claiming to be from yourselves saying there’s been a problem processing my bill and gives me a link to update my payment details. Pretty sure it’s fishing as my details haven’t changed. Can you confirm if I DM you a screenshot? Cheers.

  • Slesss_
    JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @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

  • TommyWinter23
    Tommy Winter (@TommyWinter23) reported from Blaydon-on-Tyne, England

    @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

  • kathrynbaird_
    Kathryn Baird (@kathrynbaird_) reported from Cramlington, England

    @O2 do you actually talk to your customers? I’ve been trying to contact you all week via the app, have called numerous times to be hung up on by an automated service and can’t get through to you at all. You’ve charged me twice for my bill & disconnected me even though I’ve paid!

  • CraigSi64474606
    nufc4life (@CraigSi64474606) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 and can’t even login to my o2 account online to pay it that way

  • LuckyTony72
    Lucky Tony (@LuckyTony72) reported from Hebburn, England

    @O2 Got a call bar today. Absolutely shoddy customer service. Also I've waited a minimum of 20 minutes to speak to your alleged customer service agents who appear to be utterly inept to make a simple change.

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

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

  • doc_drops
    Andros 👾👾👾 (@doc_drops) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    @O2 my sim stopped working, I can’t ring 202, can’t go to your shops and your live chat is down. Please help

  • Slesss_
    JoshSlesser (@Slesss_) reported from South Shields, England

    @virginmedia @O2 your volt supercharge is a con! Why has my virgin media bill doubled and I’m being charged for making changes to my bill, none of this was mentioned to me this is a breach of contract im not paying almost £100 just cancel my package if that’s the case

  • Marooned_Sailor
    Ian Judd (@Marooned_Sailor) reported

    @O2 Did some research and as suspected you never actually rolled mmwave out…. Feels like some false advertising @Ofcom what are you doing? Where are all the speeds promised 6 years ago… yet again a weak uk regulator in the pockets of those its supposed to be holding to account

  • sharlewis58
    Shar 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@sharlewis58) reported

    @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 That's why I left them unreservedly, an utter arse to try to interact. One system not talking to the other, no human to help sort. Mid contract hikes. Went to Sky - no regrets, easy xfer & lower bills

  • colwyn0077668
    Colwyn00 (@colwyn0077668) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE mobile networks have been **** for ages. we have agents out up and down the uk and difference contracts with different providers and over different handsets have all been garbage.

  • SoSoaksy
    Amelia Eberhardt-Armstrong (@SoSoaksy) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 They are reducing signal strength to save electricity costs. They even boast about how they reduce energy consumption by switching equipment off/running in lower power. Esp in non peak periods such as overnight. Doesn’t seem to be subject to regulatory measures

  • nicknickster
    Nick Booth (@nicknickster) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone Exactly. They all share one network of masts now so no-one has an incentive (or an ability) to provide a better service

  • Quelpanama
    Quelpanama (@Quelpanama) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Yet another issue where we have to think back to Tom’s time in Kabul liaising between MI6 and the SAS. Apparently sitting behind a desk in a building yards away from a communication mast he got a good signal. So heroic!

  • LouiseDarbyshir
    itsjustme (@LouiseDarbyshir) reported

    @O2 ya ****!!! Just saying

  • drhanko2
    Dr Hanko Honkasson (@drhanko2) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom Tugendhat suggesting that somehow the Government is responsible for very poor coverage by privately run mobile networks in Dulwich, and that taxpayer should be funding improvements for companies like EE (2025 profits £1.2 billion) as infrastructure rather than cycle lanes.

  • kevinxt
    Kevin Thomas FINSTR 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@kevinxt) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 We also found that O2 were concentrating 5G in City/Built Up areas. That was 2 years ago, not sure if the roll out is still on going. If you are using mobile at home you can link to your router for a better service. All the best with it 👌

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE You had 13 years to fix this mess. What do did the Tories do in government again ?
