steve beard (@steve8454) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 ok...this is ridiculous. My son is desperately trying to unlock his phone from o2 so he can use 3 network. Nobody is available from o2. Rang every day for 2 hrs, no reply. Live chat offline. No reply to tweets. Pls can somebody tell me how he can sort it. He has no phone!

Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Thats the answer I expected to be honest, to a customer of 18 years 👍🏼
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢
-
Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England@whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves
-
Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!
-
Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 why is your reception in the #WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering all the time, considering moving on to another network after 20 plus years with you.
-
steve beard (@steve8454) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 your customer service is shocking. Get a grip. People need assistance. Sort it now!!!!!
-
SandwellSnapper (@SnapperSandwell) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 Why when I click on the priority app for tickets, does it then not allow me to buy priority tickets on Ticketmaster? Why is it not working, it used to.
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wednesfield, England@gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks
-
Jackie (@UKHarvick_Fan) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 is there a issue with a website ? I’ve paid for a phone twice now online and it still says unpaid …. And you’ve got my money !! Plus the phone is needed to employer to call me !!
-
Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I think my mom had the same text the other day. So had to help her by marking as spam and blocking it.
-
Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, EnglandDunno what’s worse your “priority” or signal @O2
-
Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandHi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

Anne Baines 💙💙💙💙💙💙 (@AnneBaines1) reported from Hagley, England@acorbettn @O2 @metpoliceuk How awful. I hope that you are ok. Take care of yourself

John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 when are you going to fix the masts around Birmingham ( B11 ) as I’m sick of not bloody signal / data . £25 I think I’m do a refund !
-
Follow Poor Shamir Claimant Ali Entrapment (@MuslimShamir) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Answer the phone. Is your phone not working ? Is it a desk phone or mobile you using ?
-
ҍҽɾղíҽҍɑԹՏ ♏ (@berniebaps101) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I have £45 left to pay on my device, if I pay that can I then cancel the contract as I don't use the sim?
-
Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England@O2 Just runs very slow, if at all. Advised in the past to change settings in phone to use 3G but it's hardly practical to keep doing this. 4G+ in the City Centre just seems overloaded much of the time. Other half on Vodafone no issues at all. Very frustrating.
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 can you stop advising people to "reset network settings" when your network has problems. This didn't fix the problem with your network and unfortunately wipes out all WiFi and Bluetooth settings, which then need manually setting up again. Not good advice at all.

Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reportedJust rang @O2 to see if they are aware of the problem with their app/website when people are trying to pay. The advisor didn't seem to know & sounded reluctant to ask her colleagues if they knew. I suggested asking her colleagues who are on @o2 but she said they were busy.
-
Leanne (@Leanne07Leanne) reported@O2 hello, for 2 weeks now signal and 4g has hardly been working in Southport. My battery is drained within 5 hours because 4g is trying to find the network to connect. This is happening to a few people. Are there any works in progress? Thanks
-
Paul Curry (@Paulc2nd) reported@O2 can see the trouble @O2 customers are experiencing but she was just reading, parrot fashion, that she could diagnose it. Have a look at the issues people have wrote on here @O2 and you will realise it's not me !! 😡😡
-
CBL ‘71 (@Backofbeyond8) reported@o2 where on the train line from Maidstone to London 3G=no signal 4G=no signal E=no signal and 5G=no signal unless you have all 4 bars unfortunately for the majority (approx 50 minutes of a 1hr journey) there is no four bar 5G. It’s 2026 ffs!!!! Your service is shite
