    @O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.

  • 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

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Called to complain about poor network coverage where I live and work. Battery died whilst waiting on hold forever.

  • _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!

  • 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

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 yet again unable to charge my car because the signal from isn’t good enough.

  • 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.

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

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

  • Hjharris5 Hjharris (@Hjharris5) reported

    @walder_louise @O2 Good luck - they don’t seem to know anything in either payments or customer ‘service’ - absolute disgrace of a company, I’m leaving after 22 years!

  • DJEmz1990 JigglyEmz (@DJEmz1990) reported

    @O2 If o2 try to make me pay for airtime beyond the 29yj given the way I've been treated over the past 24months... Incorrectly fully disconnected for multiple months... Original higher contract downgraded to the 500 one and never allowed me to return it to normal. I will take it...

  • Gogger16 Gogger (@Gogger16) reported

    @O2 Any chance f a reply? Are there issues?

  • kazamataz81 Karen (@kazamataz81) reported

    @o2 terrible customer service! I’ve been pushed around to different departments on two different times of calling and then cut off! In fact I was cut off 4 times on Friday! Upgraded phone was faulty, now left with a phone that doesn’t work

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 69 of 365 on trying to get O2 to fix their phone customer service. 1) If you ring and ask for an e-sim for an Apple Watch then good luck with that. Staff seem very untrained. 2) Calls disconnect too much when speaking on 202. 3) The whole IVR system feels dated.

  • JosephineBlogg1 DrJosephine Bloggs (@JosephineBlogg1) reported

    Shout out to staff at the @O2 in Coventry Lower Precinct today for sorting the problem with my daughter's mobile phone 👏👏👏👏

  • peter33266430 peter (@peter33266430) reported

    @O2 I l think I’ve made a mistake,leaving Vodaphone, and going to O2,every second call Iam getting call fail,and the reception is useless,I’ve asked them to change my phone from i phone 13 to I phone 13 pro, because I heard the signal is better but they’ve told me to get lost.

  • LydiaLe39318294 Lydia Lewis (@LydiaLe39318294) reported

    @O2 I'm trying to recycle my old iPhone 11 and it states my IMEI number is wrong that I'm typing in, ive followed all the instructions, can you help please

  • KrisGill13713 Kris Gill (@KrisGill13713) reported

    @O2 just spoke w/a man saying they were from O2, calling to help lower my bill. They ID themselves as Harry & things went downhill from there. Asked me where I’m from (none ya), said my voice was so cute, & asked my age as well (not relevant). If this is SOP at O2, I’m out asap.

  • ClaireeH94 Claire Harper (@ClaireeH94) reported

    @O2 I DM'd you yesterday regarding an issue with my new device, was wondering if I would be able to get a response?
