  • PhilTonks2 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.

  • JakeBox7 Jake Box (@JakeBox7) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Swear no matter what town/city I go I get no ******* signal on 02 @O2

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

    @O2 your customer service is shocking. Get a grip. People need assistance. Sort it now!!!!!

  • 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

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

    @danboq @VodafoneUK @O2 have an annual rise in April too, when I have signal, the conversation will be interesting 😂

  • Bigglesdaf Andrew (@Bigglesdaf) reported from Wombourne, England

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @O2 Try it they seem to be willing to cancel for those who escalate to the ombudsman service

  • 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

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 Full signal now...

  • 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

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.....

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

    @O2 will someone please help me!!! Bloody useless o2

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

    @O2 Thats the answer I expected to be honest, to a customer of 18 years 👍🏼

  • ChrisSammons_ 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

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

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

  • Paul1366 The McFugget (@Paul1366) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @O2 Any known issues with the phone service in Tamworth and Lichfield. I can barely make phone calls and it shows I have 4g but the Internet is awfully slow.

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

    @O2 B11HQ B4 B42 B44 They are my main postcodes, they used to be fantastic, for about 3 months now signal has drilled into the ground.

  • F1uffyMatt Matt Stephens (@F1uffyMatt) reported

    @O2 Where do I go to do that? I used a PAC code when I signed up so maybe that is causing issues?

  • Maskedebator21 TheMaskedebater (@Maskedebator21) reported

    @O2 Your customer service is an absolute disgrace. I’m a new customer who has already had nothing but problems & I was ringing to lodge a formal complaint and you’ve cut your lines 5 times. I’ve already had to spend 3hours on the phone to you previously. What on earth is goin on?

  • RachelK84130721 Rachel Knight (@RachelK84130721) reported

    @O2 I don’t want to leave! I’ve just joined, I just want you to accept my STAC code from vodaphone. This will terminate the old vodaphone number and in turn cancel my contract. Please help - while it’s still not cancelled I’m still paying! Thanks

  • paultays Paul Taylor (@paultays) reported

    @O2 Hey O2 - I’ve just tried to claim the Odeon ticket on Priority, but the code is missing. Can you help?

  • wldrshrsflve The Lingerista (@wldrshrsflve) reported

    @O2 I have been promised 4 call backs by o2 because you owe me £200. No one has rung me back. I’ve refused to pay my bill until the issue is resolved and now my phone is cut off and I can’t contact you. Please advise how to speak to a customer service rep.

  • 68JT John (@68JT) reported

    @O2 great service today 👍

  • Davigus_one Davigus (@Davigus_one) reported

    @O2 That doesn't answer my question. Is the service in Trafford not working?

  • Yviieam Yviie (@Yviieam) reported

    @O2 could you help me out please ? Before all the tickets are gone 🥺

  • Shaz5000 Shazia Akram (@Shaz5000) reported

    @O2 hi I can’t access the cinema code on priority. Please can you help?

  • Davigus_one Davigus (@Davigus_one) reported

    Hi @O2. Is the network in Trafford down? I have had no service since 10 this morning. Thanks.
