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.

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
-
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

Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.

Jasmine Chandler (@JasmineRisely) reported@O2 over the last couple of weeks I’m having signal issues around my house/village. Is there someway to check if there are on going works/issues?
-
Isadora (@Isa_Yolina) reported@O2 It looks like Blue Mondays is broken for everyone anyway, I'll just try again later if I remember to
-
Jake Moore (@JakeMooreUK) reported@O2 Yes. But it shouldn’t need this. I slightly understand when it’s a busy area with lots of people but it’s 2026 and we shouldn’t be overloading it. It would be better if you just said no service. Frustrating.
-
VillaChicken (@AVFCMadrid27) reported@O2 @o2 obviously the signal is so bad i cant check it. Can you please check yrselves why central Harpenden (shopping, parking etc) does not have a useable 5g signal? I am going to change networks as are many other users because we cant even pay to park, shop etc
-
thefierychef (@thefierychef) reported@O2 When are you going to start upgrading the network so more areas can get 5G? The 4G signal is borderline as well 😡
-
BROMAR (@21BROMAR) reported@O2 biggest waste of time you guys are - your complaints team are terrible you’ve made so many mistakes - misinformed me on my insurance - anyone with o2 ask them to check t&c’s guarantee they don’t actually know about their services - btw I’m an ex employee of @O2
-
Naomi Milward (@naomimilward41) reported@O2 Priority app still down re Blue Mondays - are you doing this to all your customers on purpose so you save money?! Please sort it out! #CustomerExperience
-
Ben Jackson (@BennyboyJackson) reportedHi @O2 - can you explain how with the tens of millions of pounds you charge customers a month, I still struggle for 4G signal in Hampshire?? Yet, when in the middle of a game reserve in South Africa, I manage full on 5G signal with no interruptions??
-
Mr M (@Superflymarco) reported@O2 Yes I’ve checked and logged in and apparently I was alerted previously my bill was going up extra which was outwith my agreement increase and I had a limited time due to this to terminate contract freely. I don’t wish to do that but I do wish my bill to be less like before.

𝕞𝔸𝕕𝕔𝔸𝕥 (@wearemadcat) reportedFact: @O2 spends the money that suppose to improve their network on commercials. #uk #mobile
