-
Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England@O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?
-
Claire B🐈⬛🐈⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, EnglandThat, @O2 had better coverage now I'm left with all this extra stress when I'm out because my mobile doesn't work when using @O2 network.... Its not my mobile either. I have a Samsung s20.....
-
emma saunders (@emmajsaunders) reported from Solihull, England@O2 had a called yesterday about a upgrade and the person was going to call me back at 3.00 yesterday I am still waiting....this morning I have called been on hold for 30 minutes to be cut off what a joke bad customer service...I have been a customer with you for 18 years

Chris Booth (@c_booth1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 please can you get the signal sorted in The Walsall area West Midlands the signal is horrendous keeps dropping out! Thanks
-
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
-
Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England@O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@O2 After spending 6 hours trying to get hold of customer services, I ended up driving (and paying for parking) to go to one of your shops to get a sim swap. This apparently the only to get service working. Not the best of starts.
-
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?
-
Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!
-
Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandI seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.
-
Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England@O2 customer services shocking after spending nearly 3 hours on the phone to them I had to go to the wolves store and sort it out myself. Massive thank you too Jeeves who works at o2 wolves for finding me a phone reserving it at merry hill I know have my new phone
-
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.
-
Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, EnglandI would also like to add this will be TWO CALENDAR MONTHS with no signal @O2, TWO WHOLE MONTHS #TinPotNetwork #B73
-
Anne Baines 💙💙💙💙💙💙 (@AnneBaines1) reported from Hagley, England@acorbettn @O2 @metpoliceuk How awful. I hope that you are ok. Take care of yourself
-
Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England@o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gordé 🥚 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandI’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

Free Speech Highway (@Fr2962Free) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 The issue is the mobile companies raise prices mid contract and end of contract in line with RPI but signals and services in areas remains woeful
-
OldNorseGuy 🇮🇱🇨🇦🇫🇮🎗️ (@OldNorseGuy) reported@GUnit156 @TomTugendhat @O2 you stupid??? it affects the absence of building the cell infrastructure in no way whatsoever. it is totally UK companies unable to work within the regulation imposed by govt
-
Gerry D (@gdennigan) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE You’ve obviously never tried to work on the TGV from Paris to Nancy or the Deutsche-Bahn equivalent from Paris to Frankfurt?
-
Fursie (@FursieRS6) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Third world problems. Talk to people rather than posting this bull ****
-
Clive Roper (@CliveRoper) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 Try Vodafone network via the Lebara network
-
Colm Nugent (@Wigapedia) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE At what point in time did mobile phone company investment get diverted to upgrade bike lanes? This is like complaining about the vegetable selection in Tesco being terrible, while care homes are underfunded. Tom apparently doesn't understand how a modern economy works.
-
Angelique 🎵🇬🇧🇫🇷☮️ (@Angieeclectic) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE You're right. I never have trouble with reception in France. BUT Tom if you ever had to deal with French telecommunications companies you would quickly realise our own EE/BT customer services are far better.
-
ted (@wardfar) reported@O2 @TomTugendhat It’s tosh in Cambridgeshire too the past year there’s barely anything unless you go up the garden which is piss poor if your disabled and housebound
-
🔋London Fella🔋 (@BethnalBoy) reported@O2 @TomTugendhat @O2 oh **** off lol. Your service is terrible - and when you see a popular tweet now you want to get involved? I’m counting down the days till my contract runs out with you guys. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
-
Craig-David (@CraigGodders) reported@O2 can I legally leave my contract with you because of how poor the signal is? There’s a good mile square ld of my town I can’t get any 4g at all.
