  • sukirandhawa4x4 Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #PathaanCollection WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering considering moving on to another network.

  • sabphotos69 SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England

    @TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.

  • sabphotos69 SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Woodside, England

    @simonmaroulis @O2 @ThreeUK The mast near me. Hasn’t worked in now 19months. I understand dead spots, but I struggle to get a 4g signal anywhere. Utterly ridiculous.

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 yet again unable to charge my car because the signal from isn’t good enough.

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Called to complain about poor network coverage where I live and work. Battery died whilst waiting on hold forever.

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Thanks, it was worth a try, but unfortunately I can't open the link because my connection speed is apparently too slow.

  • ChrisJSharratt_ ChrisJSharratt_ (@ChrisJSharratt_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I ordered a phone on the train today and only found out you need ID after. I have a copy on my phone, you can check with my work and I will be getting rid of this phone in an hour!!!!!! What ******** am I meant to do?!!!!!

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Loosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!

  • _tombradshaw Tom Bradshaw (@_tombradshaw) reported from Birmingham, England

    @EnglandRugby @SixNationsRugby @O2 Hate seeing Marchant out the 23, feels like he never gets a run of games… but a strong team, and a hell of a bench!

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 really disappointed with the service I’m getting from O2. Poor coverage, dropped calls, slow texts, no internet, been like this for 5 months, No sign of a fix, difficult call centre staff hide behind “policy” to avoid being helpful. If you need a new provider - Avoid O2

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

    @O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • sukirandhawa4x4 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.

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    How poor is the coverage from @virgin mobile? Since the merger with @O2 the mobile coverage is appalling. Massive price increase on all plans/ packages yet the network service is worse than ever

  • charlll18x Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Don’t know what I’m paying for as it is can’t name a place I actually get signal, now a massive price increase. Can’t wait to leave @O2

  • PongoVilla PongoVilla (@PongoVilla) reported from Birmingham, England

    Why has #o2 gone crap since they merged with #Virgin time to move @o2

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BlamireRyan Ryan Blamire (@BlamireRyan) reported

    @O2 My phone was barred 9 days ago through no fault of my own. Customer services have been promising to unbar and keep saying itll be done 'within 24 hrs' the problem still remains. Phone inoperable, still expected to pay and no further with resolving!! Absolutely shocking!!

  • rnmorris Roger Morris (@rnmorris) reported

    @NickOldhamBooks @CaroleAnn1982 @O2 I mean it literally is them saying **** you.

  • katier992 Cait Heath (@katier992) reported

    @O2 I have messaged you guys - the parts are out of order (as in chronological order, not being rude or offensive), but I hope it makes sense anyway. TIA :)

  • andycr1966 Andrew Crame (@andycr1966) reported

    @O2 just wondering if it is standard practice for your call centre staff to tell customers they will call them back and then never bother?? 5 times I’ve been told that this week including for manager call! #horrendouscustomerservice @Ofcom needs to looks into these cowboys!

  • triona_keeffe Triona O'keeffe (@triona_keeffe) reported

    @O2 I ‘m in India, you’ve cut off my roaming data & can’t get it fixed. Phone: “please hold for the rest of your life”. Webchat: please read these useless help pages. App: no self-serve option. been loyal to o2 for eons … time to move somewhere with a customer service ethos

  • kayleighmqu KayIeigh Quinn (@kayleighmqu) reported

    Me as a union rep: I only believe in RPI Me as a customer when my phone company raises my cost by RPI: 😭 Hope @O2 are passing that RPI rise onto their staff’s pay @CWUnews

  • NAEntity69 NAEntity (@NAEntity69) reported

    @O2 @GoldShyGuy1 Screw you @O2, can't wait to cancel your *** as soon as my contract is up

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 100 of 365 on trying to get O2 to fix their phone customer service. 1) If you ring and ask for an e-sim for an Apple Watch then good luck with that. Staff seem very untrained. 2) Calls disconnect too much when speaking on 202. 3) The whole IVR system feels dated.

  • BkRidAI BkRidAI (@BkRidAI) reported

    Really done with you lot @O2 @GarethTurpin How can I cancel my plan immediately? Reduce your profits!!! The level of greed and profiteering in #britain is astonishing, while the tw-ats @bankofengland push to reduce our salaries even more… REDUCE THE OBSCENE PROFITS

  • joshjlambert Josh Lambert (@joshjlambert) reported

    @Cal190691 @O2 Get an iPhone, it’s the bendy phone that’s the problem
