  • _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!

  • 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

  • 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?!!!!!

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I also had the young lad on the call say “if I cancel any of your charges today I was told my job would be effected” disgusting @O2 - instead of gas lighting your clients and threatening your staff, perhaps get a member of management to actually do their job and 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.

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • UKHarvick_Fan Jackie (@UKHarvick_Fan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 is there a issue with a website ? I’ve paid for a phone twice now online and it still says unpaid …. And you’ve got my money !! Plus the phone is needed to employer to call me !!

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • shaikhycwu Sajid Shaikh (@shaikhycwu) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Why are customers so unreliable in what they tell to resolve your issue. That was cause by o2 customer services yet customer suffer and pay the bill

    8 hours later and still with no service from @O2 and according to the support agent I spoke to nobody has even been out to check the mast.. love paying for a service I can’t even use.. very disappointed.

  • Jobob_80 Dr Joanna McKenzie (@Jobob_80) reported

    @O2 I am definitely drowning in Sunk Cost Fallacy right now. They close in ten minutes. I've been queuing for over an hour. I need about four minutes of someone's time. But oh my this hold music is so awful it is /hurting/.

  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the masts around Birmingham ( B11 ) as I’m sick of not bloody signal / data . £25 I think I’m do a refund !

  • scottlavin Scott Lavin (@scottlavin) reported

    @O2 hi, I have four numbers on one account with yourselves. It’s a volt account and only one off the numbers have received the double data that was promised when I signed up. I’ve called customer services and been into a branch with no one able to help. Can someone here help??

  • GeorgieMaley Georgie Colley (@GeorgieMaley) reported

    @O2 your delivery is a nightmare and I can’t get hold of anyone! Ordered a new iwatch. Missed delivery as I’m at work. I cannot get it redelivered to work and can’t collect from a depot! The same thing is going to happen tomorrow and I want my product I’ve ordered! Help!!!

  • mrledders ian Leadbetter 🇺🇦 (@mrledders) reported

    @Rugbylad37 @O2 I've been with them for years. Apart from the fact that their customer service is absolutely shite, access to a decent mobile signal is getting worse.

  • samyoull_ Sam (@samyoull_) reported

    @O2 @TOMarsh93 Hey o2 :) I know there are global supply chain issues at the moment due to Foxconn having to close due to covid, so totally understand the delay. I ordered the 256GB deep purple back at the start of November, delivery was ‘up to 4 weeks’. Any idea roughly when it could arrive?

  • madmac2003 Darren Wright 💙🇺🇦🇬🇧 (@madmac2003) reported

    @kylesoo @O2 Same with @ThreeUK very poor

  • cooj2_0 Sir Cooj2.0 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 (@cooj2_0) reported

    @org_scp @Telefonica_En @O2 "Future public health emergencies" I'm in my 50's and covid is the only so called ph emergency in my lifetime, why would we be expecting another one?
