Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Southport and nearby locations:

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 At least it was on 3G. Most of the time it falls back to 2G round here. Plenty of boilerplate "we're always striving to improve the network" and "stay tuned" from @O2 but no actual improvement. At this point I'm sure there won't be any except in affluent areas down south.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @O2 If the sites down how tickets already on resale over £250 Another example of f@ck the public & as long as we get our money who cares who buys them, ordinary punters or touts Disgraceful, @peterkay_co_uk should step in seeing as the strapline is low prices in these difficult times

  • craigparry85 Craig Parry (@craigparry85) reported from Kirkby, England

    @O2 is there a customer service number that can be called where I can actually speak to a human being please? I have tried 5 different numbers and each one goes through the options and then says bye and hangs up the call! How can anyone deal with their account when you can’t spk!

  • jennika28 Jennifer Brown (@jennika28) reported from Maghull, England

    @O2 I think you have turned my sim off before a new one has arrived. I need to be able to use this one now. Please fix asap so I can sort my medical issues. I have private messaged you but had no reply

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity MIH MBII (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Your always sorry but nothing actually ever gets done about it. Just fob me off saying "well at time of point of sale, you will have signed to understand". I have already persuaded my whole family to go to a different network one of your competitors, and I will tell more people.

  • davepakey71 Dave Pakeman (@davepakey71) reported from Burscough, England

    @o2 the worst company for customer service

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 please help with sim swap, I have already DM you to help

  • jennika28 Jennifer Brown (@jennika28) reported from Maghull, England

    Please @O2 can you fix this now

  • _notnehs Mark (@_notnehs) reported from Blackpool, England

    @bearz1066 @O2 @ThreeUK been with them for over 10 yrs no one can come close on price Never had any signal issues travelling up and down the country, usually works where my work phone doesn’t, that’s on a gamma sim meant to pick up either EE, Vodafone or o2 whichever is stronger.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    After complaining for over 9 month about reception and signal strength in my area, @O2 advice me to change the sim, now brand new sim card and still the reception and signal is horrendous. So @o2 what is your recommendation now???

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 And of course on 3G you do get a reasonable signal but no actual data throughput...

  • KatieLouiseGunn 𝖪𝖺𝗍𝗂𝖾 (@KatieLouiseGunn) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 I’ve direct messaged screenshots, can you look into this? I’ve never had problems in the past.

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 Brace yourself for a string of promises that will never actually materialise...

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 This has no effect on my issue.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from South Shore, England

    @O2 now I know you are lying when you tell me there is nothing wrong with your signal or reception. Stood literally by the side of a mast located from your 'mynetwork' app and its giving me next to nothing. 9 month complaining to you, now I know it's an issue on you

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Done, but I'm not expecting you to tell me there is a problem when this has been like this since I moved to the area 9 month ago

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 why am I receiving a text message today telling me you were unable to process my payment? When it was taken yesterday from my bank account!!! It seems to be one thing after another with your service lately!

  • 23_dannyp Dannyp#23 (@23_dannyp) reported from Lea Town, England

    @o2 network is non existent in the Clifton village area. Hope this gets sorted soon as this is the 4th day that people at work can’t use their phones properly

  • MattyHenno Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @O2 How are customers buying them when there’s no way of accessing your app or your browser version? You’re advertising a service that you’re not providing. Answers please

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity MIH MBII (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    The @O2 network in this area is so bad. I am constantly telling people not to take out a contract with @o2 and the company doesn't listen to their customers when they tell the company there is problems with signal and coverage issues.

  • Donnasgilly Donna Gillians (@Donnasgilly) reported

    @parkz1892 @O2 Im 3 weeks almost. I’ve seen some people are 6 weeks plus so I’m really not hopeful of the 4 week estimate I was given. Wish I went with another network now. Anyone that goes over the 4 weeks should be given a form of compensation @O2

  • Warren24Liam Liam Warren (@Warren24Liam) reported

    @O2 when is the mast going to be fixed?? No signal or 4g,5g since Monday???

  • lillybet2021 Lilybet (@lillybet2021) reported

    @O2 Why are you insisting customers move to DD payments yet provide no way of doing this online so we have to sit in a 15 min phone queue? Also, I'm not paying 2 consecutive device plans for the 3 handsets on my account because your system is crap. Not moving to DD as a result.

  • nickeaglephoto Nick Eagle (@nickeaglephoto) reported

    @O2 absolutely awful customer service and its not good enough.

  • alexrollsuk Alex Rolls (@alexrollsuk) reported

    @O2 My contract renewal phone some how being delivered to my old address. Called Monday. Advised delivered Tuesday. Called Tuesday. Advised delivered today. DPD still showing "Your parcel is held in our depot" in the wrong city. Can someone please fix this for me?

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @bapster185185 @O2 @bapster185185 That happens to me as well. Was it the agent who dropped the line or is it a connection issue?

  • AneeshVarma Aneesh Varma (@AneeshVarma) reported

    @MrsJenWebb @O2 Hmmm. This seems to be a bigger issue then?!?! Did you have to ring them up?

  • CoombesCars Coombes Cars (@CoombesCars) reported

    @O2 And there was me thinking it’s just me with a substandard service from @O2 with constant mast issues. Twice this week already and it’s only Wednesday. I wouldn’t advertise your brand from the comments in this thread if I were you.

  • rhianna_joseph Rhianna Joseph #PrayForDemi ❤️ (@rhianna_joseph) reported

    @ChildAnastasia @O2 @ChildAnastasia I completely and utterly agree with you O2’s customer services is a actual joke.

  • laurajayne_A Laura (@laurajayne_A) reported

    @O2 Hi, I moved into our new house nearly 5 weeks ago and have no cellular connection (I believe due to a local broken mast). Guarantees of fixes are continually delayed. Please can you provide latest update and also confirm applicable refunds for lack of service until fixed.
