    @O2 is there a issue with the service this afternoon cuz I can't add a bolt on.

  • gav_wallace1 Gavin Wallace (@gav_wallace1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    2/2 @O2 I’m currently sat at Wolverhampton station and I have 1 bar or 4G in what is a major UK city. Absolutely nonsense that these problems continue to happen. I thought it was bad enough not getting full 4G in my house in Kilmarnock but this is just amateur hour at its finiest

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

    The guys at @O2 store lower #bullring are rude. We have as a family 5 contracts and there is a way to speak to customers. Sales adviser even manger thought it was ok. Very rude here. Will go top floor from now on.

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

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

  • _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 👍

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I think I made 2 or 3 phone calls all week and no, I had to rely on wifi because the data connection was so poor! 💸

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jameseonline @O2 There maybe plenty of good freebies and offers with priority. Just that o2 signal is shocking where I live anyway and this is what I can a priority when choosing mobile network. Why have a mobile that you can't use!

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 No I'm home now. I tried that but after several attempts of waiting 10 minutes to find a new network manually, I gave up.

  • harryharrad HH (@harryharrad) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK why is #skymobile signal so rubbish at weekends, you give free data and then the service levels drop! #poorservice won't be renewing with you next year! @O2 that's goes for you too! #rubbish!

  • MarkCook3rgj Mark cook (@MarkCook3rgj) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Absolutely poor service in Skegness this weekend @O2

  • BorisJWorrall Boris Worrall (@BorisJWorrall) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Great customer service @O2 sorting refund on defunct mobile contract, quick, friendly and no hassle 👍✅

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

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

  • msetchell Matt (@msetchell) reported from Redditch, England

    Thanks to Paul @SkyUK who responded to my tweet, replied and then called me, I’ve just got 2 x 10GB sim only deals for a total of £26pm - saving me £15pm verses @o2 and giving James 10x data. And we can roll it over. @o2 just replied saying they couldn’t help!

  • StuartCollett Stuart Collett (@StuartCollett) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    So far today: @NOWTV failed our change from @bt_uk yesterday so no broadband. @O2 signal is poor so phones are no use & our @FreeviewTV signal is terrible. So no internet, data, @NOWTV, or @FreeviewTV. Oh, and a child needs to revise online for exams on Monday. Fantastic.

  • TeeKhan84 Tariq Khan (@TeeKhan84) reported from Birmingham, England

    Absolutely awful customer service from Awais at @O2 call centre. Takes 5 days to get an unlock code so that I can use my phone on another network and my o2 line finishes tomorrow! @Ofcom @WhichUK manager was in a 'meeting' and will get back to me by 9pm tonight. #stayawayfromo2

  • ppmbecky ✨Becky Higgins✨ (@ppmbecky) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 great service from Sarah and Matt in the Walsall store this morning..... #customerservice #asset toteam #safariissuesorted #qustodiotheproblem

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • Y2JONAKERFELDT Jonathan Deavs (@Y2JONAKERFELDT) reported from Redditch, England

    @O2 Hi. I’m thinking of upgrading this month to an iPhone XR 128 GB, or an iPhone X 256 GB. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years. Could you let me know the very best price based on 1 GB or 3 GB data over 36 months. Happy to DM any additional info.

  • 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.

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @O2 Terrible customer service, AGAIN. Promised a call on Monday morning. Came whilst I was out of reception (No surprise there!) Voicemail left saying you would try again. Nothing all week. Another reason not to actually upgrade and to leave O2.

  • Leggler75 Emma (@Leggler75) reported from Gateshead, England

    My husband & I have been with @O2 for 15 years plus. Can’t believe the terrible service after using them & O2 recycle. 10 phone calls later no further forward. Kept phone & no money. Disgusting 😡

  • Leggler75 Emma (@Leggler75) reported

    @O2 It was received by them on the 23rd December. Since then it’s been back & forth. O2 recycle say one thing & O2 customer service say another. We are stuck on the middle with no resolution. Really thought O2 would be a lot better then this 😢

  • TimPBreden Tim Breden (@TimPBreden) reported from Arundel, England

    An hour on Live Chat at @O2 only to be told they haven’t done what they promised THU & FRI. What they will do is make sure the back end team, who they assured me yesterday, will do today what they promised 24 and 48 hours ago, why do I think I’ll be on Chat tomorrow? #O2 #awful

  • darrenhillman78 Darren Hillman (@darrenhillman78) reported
