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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 Priority down!!!!!

  • 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?!!!!!

  • 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

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I 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 🤢

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I also had the young lad on the call say “if I cancel any of your charges today I was told my job would be effected” disgusting @O2 - instead of gas lighting your clients and threatening your staff, perhaps get a member of management to actually do their job and HELP!?

  • _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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • adebongaa_ox Damiyah Stan Account ✨ (@adebongaa_ox) reported

    @O2 are thieves charging me £351.43 for an early cancellation fee that I DID NOT ask for & have now taken me to debt collectors. I’ve been paying my contract every month so I’m not sure as to why they decided to cancel my contract early.

  • TheRealMoscha Moscha (@TheRealMoscha) reported

    @virginmedia is there any perks or benefits to being a virgin media customer and an @O2 customer? Iv seen some deals like double saga and double broadband package, would I get these perhaps?

  • andyj9196 Andy Ward Stokes (@andyj9196) reported

    @O2 why did the Keighley shop try to sell a new phone to an elderly lady who just wanted to cancel her contract ??

  • Matthew10X Matthew (@Matthew10X) reported

    @O2 Had O2 Travel bolt on enabled but was charged £477 for using phone in the US, 3 weeks ago customer services said it was an error and would be fixed, still got charged though so now waiting on a refund

  • Sam_Vernon1 Sam Vernon (@Sam_Vernon1) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam Ok thank you, @O2 can you please help with this? As I understand it after registering the PAC code and transferring my sim to my new phone I am within my rights to keep my existing phone number? Many thanks.

  • DazzledMin DazzledMin (@DazzledMin) reported

    @O2 hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me. Since I switched my number over to yourselves over been facing difficulties with making phone calls and sending text messages. Can you help with why this is happening?

  • john_ainge John Ainge (@john_ainge) reported

    @O2 your signal is a joke. 5 places I have 4g and can't get anything to load. Wellingborough Kettering Markham vale Brackley I am sure there has been others but that's just today!!!

  • sharonhunter72 Sharon Hunter (@sharonhunter72) reported from Ashington, England

    Disgraceful service yet again with @O2 3 separate staff sorting refund within 7 days it’s now two weeks and guess what both call handlers HAVE NOT processed the refund 😡this is a phone was meant to have been cancelled in January but again this wasn’t done either hence refund😡

  • Bedz6453 mike bedder (@Bedz6453) reported

    @O2 is there an issue in Coventry with service? Haven’t had a signal since 10:30am complete loss of service

  • cornelius_mark Mark Cornelius (@cornelius_mark) reported

    @liIkirby @O2 It is the same in Plymouth city centre too Signal seems ok but 4g is non existent. It has been like that for years , nothing gets done ever! Go a mile out of city centre It is fine but still sloe compared to Vodafone, BT or 3
