    @O2 hi we ever getting a fix for postcodes WS14 and WV14 terrible phone signal and data just doesn't connect mentioned in December and according to your app it would be fixed in 2 weeks ?! 4months later still exactly the same

  • paulberry2303 Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 I have today received another letter telling me the phone is blocked. I don’t have an O2 phone. I have never had an O2 phone. I don’t owe any money. I know you are looking at it but surely you can put a block on correspondence while you do?

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

  • Hannahbreenx han (@Hannahbreenx) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @O2 I haven’t had any signal in my own home for 2 weeks and when I check online it says there won’t be an update until the 10th of June. How is that acceptable for a paying customer? I’ve missed an extremely important medical call back because they can’t get through to me

  • c_booth1990 Chris Booth (@c_booth1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 please can you get the signal sorted in The Walsall area West Midlands the signal is horrendous keeps dropping out! Thanks

  • berniebaps101 ҍҽɾղíҽҍɑԹՏ ♏ (@berniebaps101) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I have £45 left to pay on my device, if I pay that can I then cancel the contract as I don't use the sim?

  • Crystalcraftand Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan.  I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

  • IyaazMatadar Iyaaz Matadar (@IyaazMatadar) reported from Redditch, England

    Anyone on @O2 having problems sending @WhatsApp messages?

  • DirtySurti Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England

    @O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • adam0604 Adam Waterhouse (@adam0604) reported from Halesowen, England

    Yo why is @O2 4G network coverage so garbish lately? Sort your **** out man, I don't pay for a 1 bar signal wherever I go!

  • StevoJones1984 Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

  • hijabiexplorer Mimii Hatun |Y| aka Ms Begum (@hijabiexplorer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Typical of @o2 for not cancelling my line when I a called in during the cooling off period to cancel the contract. #Thieves

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Help @O2 - I want to upgrade to the Huawei P30 Pro but it says it's not in stock. Will it ever be or can we not get Huawei anymore?

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

    I’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • M5Mahmud 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.

  • bethanlguy Bethan Guy (@bethanlguy) reported

    @O2 hi. Can someone help me with my account pls. Recent email re. Price changes says my current price should be £12 yet you’re taking £16.75 each month. It states new price will £14.07. Something is not right somewhere

  • colinctclark Colin Clark MA (@colinctclark) reported

    @O2 I tried to go through O2's chat online but it took so long to get any responses I gave up. Not a good service.

  • Em_fidich Em (@Em_fidich) reported

    @O2 can’t collect my order from store as my ID is out of date (didn’t realise before ordering) tried to cancel and reorder and it’s taking ages. unable to divert order to home delivery. Absolute nightmare and I need my new phone urgently. Anything I can do to speed up the process

  • mooramana Karen (@mooramana) reported

    @Ginger_Tucci @O2 Recommend EE moved from O2 3 years ago never regretted it

  • itsnumber1 LES RAY (@itsnumber1) reported

    @O2 hello you are putting prices up to cover the power to your service when are you going to do something about your service because it is rubbish most of the time

  • Ginger_Tucci Ginger Tucci (@Ginger_Tucci) reported

    @LordImmunitas @O2 It’s appallingly bad. How are they not embarrassed to be asking for more money? I’m always asking for wifi because my phone just doesn’t work.

  • Ginger_Tucci Ginger Tucci (@Ginger_Tucci) reported

    @tim_cattlin @O2 My work phone is EE & the network is brilliant. I’m going to swap to them.

  • CockneyEagle Upstart Crow (@CockneyEagle) reported

    @O2 o2 are greasing customers for a disgusting 17.3% price increase! Well it’s one way of saying you don’t want our business. Especially when you’ve decided to shut down your chat line so you don’t feel our wrath! This increase is obscene & wholly indefensible!

  • Fellena5 Fellena (@Fellena5) reported

    @bethanlguy @O2 Send a message to @coder_reactivation on telegram for help, he helped me recover my account. if you really need help getting back your account then contact him too okay and have a nice day

  • ft710pete pete (@ft710pete) reported

    @o2 your chat bot help line is useless. Until I can resolve my complaint properly I do not want o2 to take any money from my account apart from my standard monthly payment. I require a proper explanation why the £6 roaming fee I paid did not kick in as soon as I purchased it.
