  • 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

  • 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.

  • iamRicardoW RICARDO WILLIAMS (@iamRicardoW) reported from Birmingham, England

    @BigJMusic @O2 @ThreeUK Did that... never looked back! Do it

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.....

  • Ieeshhhk ieesh (@Ieeshhhk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 what’s with the dodgey service today 🙄

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

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

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @ThreeUK public shamed @O2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • 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.

  • Wolvostu Stu Parry (@Wolvostu) reported from Dudley, England

    Is 02 down in the DY6 area @O2

  • _Rachele_ Rachele 🍷 (@_Rachele_) reported from Redditch, England

    @O2 It was bad all morning in Birmingham. Currently at home in Redditch and it's better but a tad slow. It's the 4G 👍

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @three public shamed @o2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • Georgekafetzis George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 your customer service has gone extremely S**T

  • 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

  • literallylouis Louis (@literallylouis) reported

    @O2 why cant I speak to anyone with a human brain. I've been going in loops for 30 minutes with your pointless website back doors and awful automated telephone customer service. Is there a number I can call to speak to a human being? I don't care how long I have to wait.

  • rhinowinny Dave Winstanley (@rhinowinny) reported

    @O2 do you think being held in a queue for 38 mins and 5 secs then to be cut off with an automated 'goodbye' message us acceptable? Your customer service is pathetic!

  • jpantak Josh Pantak (@jpantak) reported

    Absolute shite customer service from @O2. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 10 years and been treated appallingly! Don’t you know we’re in the middle of a pandemic! A phone company who struggle to even answer/speak on the phone 😤
