    @O2 Getting very close to the point of cancelling my order. The port has failed and I have no service. Cannot get through to your support as there are no agents available. No reply to FB message since 9 am. The clock is ticking...

    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

  • 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

  • James_Burton04

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

    @O2 customer services shocking after spending nearly 3 hours on the phone to them I had to go to the wolves store and sort it out myself. Massive thank you too Jeeves who works at o2 wolves for finding me a phone reserving it at merry hill I know have my new phone

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 can you stop advising people to "reset network settings" when your network has problems. This didn't fix the problem with your network and unfortunately wipes out all WiFi and Bluetooth settings, which then need manually setting up again. Not good advice at all.

    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

  • 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.

    @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.

  • SnapperSandwell
    SandwellSnapper (@SnapperSandwell) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Why when I click on the priority app for tickets, does it then not allow me to buy priority tickets on Ticketmaster? Why is it not working, it used to.

  • MrTegSingh
    Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @wolvesclaire @O2 Never been so angry been on the phone since 8.30 cut off 3 times and been transferred to so many different departments. 😡😡😡😡

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

    @o2 signal in birmingham, on 4g but nothing working, been like this was at least a week now, struggling to see why im playing £60 a month to use wi-fi only.

  • webo20
    mark webster (@webo20) reported from Sheldon, England

    Thanks @o2 @my_prsnt for my o2 blue monday treat #bluemondays #priority

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 why does the local B90 4AJ mast go faulty EVERY week. 6 weeks in a row now, we get no service until it is repaired. You need better repair engineers as their repairs do not even last a week!!!

  • 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)

  • LittleMissCosta
    Tina-Louise Boyce (@LittleMissCosta) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I've just tried this, they've said they've sent me a text with a code but I don't have any service to receive the text. So now I'm stuck..

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

  • MikeKlymko

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

  • notdodgy
    Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

    @kokeshimum @O2 Without being disrespectful to Cambodia, we had 5G and no problems. Presumably in this country, it all comes down to money.

  • iainballin30943
    RandyRamone (@iainballin30943) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Yep O2 service where I am is completely **** too. Switched to EE - far, far better

    @kokeshimum @O2 How do tariffs compare; I bet UK pays extra for (poor) service?

  • rdaved
    Dave (@rdaved) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Had you considered a different network or trying one of those eSims that piggyback on other networks?

  • Bruggers100
    Tony Brugnoli (@Bruggers100) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Vodafone just as bad down south, dead spots in and around my hometown, can’t get a phone signal at all at my son’s school. The companies will not invest in infrastructure. You can get a better signal in the Lake District because the infrastructure supports emergencies!

  • Ptr1263Reid
    Peter Reid (@Ptr1263Reid) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 It’s crap all over the country.

  • _unidropout
    uni drop-out✨ (@_unidropout) reported

    @MJJHunter @O2 This is how I’ve been recently, I’ve been to a few major cities in the UK and just have no service anywhere it’s ridiculous

  • Wrightoe
    Paul (@Wrightoe) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 I’m Hudds too. Signal has been shite for a couple of years now. But hey ho, no trains but replacement bus service, terrible council services, rats running riot. However the council spent £250,000 on the weird flower pot metal things in town centre.

    @kokeshimum @O2 I had the same O2 dreadful signal, and lost it more often than not.

    @coveragechecker @O2 @Apple Seems to be worse since i upgraded my iphone to 17 pro, shocking signal
