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

    @danboq @VodafoneUK At least @O2 only fob me off once every two weeks 🤪 And they don’t even give a reason, just knock the date back every time 🤣 As long as I have signal in time so I can send my Xmas texts I’ll be a happy chap

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

    I would also like to add this will be TWO CALENDAR MONTHS with no signal @O2, TWO WHOLE MONTHS #TinPotNetwork #B73

  • crazysamsam Samantha Thompson (@crazysamsam) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Your customer service has been awful at this difficult time @O2. We had to call your bereavement department so many times to sort out the bill you said you’d wave, and this has caused us much stress and anxiety. To then contact us again on FATHER’S DAY is extremely cruel.

  • ellrbrown 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.

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 Problem is, I don’t think any network is working...@tescomobile and @VodafoneUK also having same issue in my house...had no signal for weeks now

  • Villandrew Andrew Horton (@Villandrew) reported from Solihull, England

  • steve8454 steve beard (@steve8454) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 my son has changed network provider from o2 to ee. Waiting 5 days now for tel no to be transferred. Unable to get thru and no response to messages. Its crucial he has a working phone especially at this time. Shameful customer service.....

  • devilwoman1975 Alison Hadley 🛵 (@devilwoman1975) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 losing signal on walsall area

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @tescomobile @VodafoneUK I’ve raised this issue with both networks, collectively they don’t give a toss, this is the problem

  • conorcole Conor (@conorcole) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Your call centre operatives are rude & your information is misleading. I’ll be paying this device off then switching my network ✨

  • steve8454 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!

  • macwool paul woolley (@macwool) reported from Brownhills, England

    @O2 I’m unable to remember my security question answer in order to change my password to view my a/c the system won’t accent any answers to other questions & customer care is unobtainable. It’s rubbish & unhelpful. I feel very cross!!!😡

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

    @rachaelxspragg @O2 My update was via Email - BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SIGNAL SINCE MARCH 3RD 😂

  • GedNeilAlex #boredinafactoryupddated (@GedNeilAlex) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Well done to @O2 for a super fast service. Sent us a replacement sim in less than 24hours. Well done!

  • kazpeza karen (@kazpeza) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @O2 such rude service this morning i havent phone and need a replacement sim sending and no way of ordering one as only accepting calls if your upgrading or cancelling,so i spoke to a girl from that team and she cut me off as i was explaining

  • Brumdad30 Rudi Feix (@Brumdad30) reported from Birmingham, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DeadbeatPad Paddy 💀 (@DeadbeatPad) reported

    @O2 now up to 24hrs without a mobile or data signal on my phone in the West of Glasgow. As somebody whose work involves caring for vulnerable people out and about in the community, being cut off like this is far from ideal.

  • Terristarfish Teresa 💜 (@Terristarfish) reported

    @O2 I'm trying to add my NHS code. I've been putting this off for months due to so much difficulty. Can somebody just directly contact me to help??

  • martinianpaul Martin Paul (@martinianpaul) reported

    @virginmedia can you please explain why it is so very difficult now to log in to my @O2 account? And why my request for a password reset never works?

  • C_R_J_W_71 Craig (@C_R_J_W_71) reported

    @BevPoppies @O2 Yeah had to have a new eSIM to fix it

  • K2SOenjoyer jennie 𖤐 (@K2SOenjoyer) reported

    no cause girl why when I leave the house my phone becomes unusable like sort ur **** out like what exactly am I paying for if ur service doesn’t ******* work @O2 🖕

  • lkoo1 LK (@lkoo1) reported

    @O2 eSIM not working for nearly 3 days. Gone into 2 stores and spoken to 6 different agents on chat and no resolution. Even the in store staff said they were told not to re-issue SIMs. How can a major network operate like this?!

  • madmedicalman James (@madmedicalman) reported

    @O2 Thankfully, eventually I got it sorted yesterday. You need to rethink the system to try & speak to customer services…. Takes too long to speak to someone. Also, why am I doing security on automated system & it just repeated when I speak to someone! Ridiculous!

  • kbetteley Grumpinho (@kbetteley) reported

    @O2 for some reason can’t connect to 5G (intermittently) or 4G (at all) in se4. Not helping that your partner virgin is also out on the broadband side. Any chance that one of you two might try and partner provide some sort of service?

  • RayExeter25 R Taylor (@RayExeter25) reported

    @O2 I'm a bit concerned. I renewed and upgraded my contract to a new handset which was due to be delivered on 01/07/2025. The order still says processing. Can you help please? I really don't want to cancel the order.

  • silentobsello mamon (@silentobsello) reported

    @DeadbeatPad @O2 Same, but it’s been over 48hours for me in G1/G2. They don’t care, have had no acknowledgment of the issue from them.
