  • JakeBox7 Jake Box (@JakeBox7) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Swear no matter what town/city I go I get no ******* signal on 02 @O2

  • gav_wallace1 Gavin Wallace (@gav_wallace1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    2/2 @O2 I’m currently sat at Wolverhampton station and I have 1 bar or 4G in what is a major UK city. Absolutely nonsense that these problems continue to happen. I thought it was bad enough not getting full 4G in my house in Kilmarnock but this is just amateur hour at its finiest

  • _Rachele_ Rachele 🍷 (@_Rachele_) reported from Redditch, England

    @O2 It was bad all morning in Birmingham. Currently at home in Redditch and it's better but a tad slow. It's the 4G 👍

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @three public shamed @o2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @ThreeUK public shamed @O2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • ChrisSammons_ Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I appreciate theres obviously a serious issue, I’ve never known signal to be down for so long at one time. There needs to be a conversation at some stage regarding a substantial reimbursement on this months tariff, because to not have any signal whatsoever for this long is a pain

  • PhilTonks2 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.

  • iamRicardoW RICARDO WILLIAMS (@iamRicardoW) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BigJMusic @O2 @ThreeUK Did that... never looked back! Do it

  • Wolvostu Stu Parry (@Wolvostu) reported from Dudley, England

    Is 02 down in the DY6 area @O2

  • ReissOmari Gordé (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 B11HQ B4 B42 B44 They are my main postcodes, they used to be fantastic, for about 3 months now signal has drilled into the ground.

  • Ieeshhhk ieesh (@Ieeshhhk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 what’s with the dodgey service today 🙄

  • ppmbecky ✨Becky Higgins✨ (@ppmbecky) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 great service from Sarah and Matt in the Walsall store this morning..... #customerservice #asset toteam #safariissuesorted #qustodiotheproblem

  • Paul1366 The McFugget (@Paul1366) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @O2 Any known issues with the phone service in Tamworth and Lichfield. I can barely make phone calls and it shows I have 4g but the Internet is awfully slow.

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @O2 Terrible customer service, AGAIN. Promised a call on Monday morning. Came whilst I was out of reception (No surprise there!) Voicemail left saying you would try again. Nothing all week. Another reason not to actually upgrade and to leave O2.

  • ReissOmari Gordé (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    @o2 signal in birmingham, on 4g but nothing working, been like this was at least a week now, struggling to see why im playing £60 a month to use wi-fi only.

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • Bigglesdaf Andrew (@Bigglesdaf) reported from Wombourne, England

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @O2 Try it they seem to be willing to cancel for those who escalate to the ombudsman service

  • msetchell Matt (@msetchell) reported from Redditch, England

    Thanks to Paul @SkyUK who responded to my tweet, replied and then called me, I’ve just got 2 x 10GB sim only deals for a total of £26pm - saving me £15pm verses @o2 and giving James 10x data. And we can roll it over. @o2 just replied saying they couldn’t help!

  • Georgekafetzis George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 your customer service has gone extremely S**T

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • PaulWolf1877 Paul (@PaulWolf1877) reported

    @O2 App not working, so not sure how you have sold out. Sold them all to the scammers.

  • VFarrell30 Victoria Hart (@VFarrell30) reported

    @O2 All day been trying via Virgin Media and had Bad Gateway error message 🙄

  • JackPez79 MJP (@JackPez79) reported

    @O2 How can you sell out when your website and app has been down since 9am this morning? #joke #shambles

  • JuanJohnaan Johnaan (@JuanJohnaan) reported

    @O2 Biggest issue with this absolute s**t show is that neither O2 nor @virginmedia will hold their hands up and say “we ****** up”. O2 literally say “sorry you didn’t get any” without making any effort to take the blame. And Virgin have not cookie cutter responses “Due to high dem..”

  • jencarter22 Jenny Carter (@jencarter22) reported

    @O2 How's that? the apps been down but some how there are ticktets on viagogo for exortianate amounts!

  • tom_rob99 Tom Robinson (@tom_rob99) reported

    @O2 I’m cannot believe I am paying to use O2 as a network. O2 Priority? How many people who bought tickets on your site put them on to third party websites? That would be an interesting statistic that I’m sure you won’t share.

  • JamieleaE Jamie (@JamieleaE) reported

    @O2 What a load of 🤬 the app had been down since 10am yet people have managed to get them how?. Waste of time!@peterkay_co_uk

  • JoshHinton95 Josh Hinton (@JoshHinton95) reported

    @O2 Absolute shambles ! Sold them on to resellers and shafted all your customers ! Here’s one customer you’ve definitely lost as a result ! 🖕🏻

  • LeeMcCrea Gripper13 (@LeeMcCrea) reported

    @O2 **** network. Proven by how **** the website was today

  • maxinew67 Maxinew67@hotmail.co.uk (@maxinew67) reported

    @O2 crap service why even bother doing it. Going to change provider now can get it cheaper and I'd rather pay less and get less when you dont provide the service your useless anyway your a joke!
