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

James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, EnglandLoosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!
-
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!!!

Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England@O2 Just runs very slow, if at all. Advised in the past to change settings in phone to use 3G but it's hardly practical to keep doing this. 4G+ in the City Centre just seems overloaded much of the time. Other half on Vodafone no issues at all. Very frustrating.

batgirl (@amanmarway) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 have still not processed a refund from March/April (despite being promised at the time I wouldn’t even be overcharged and my account had already been credited) Two weeks ago I was told payment would be with me in 5 days but I’m chasing ONCE AGAIN Atrocious customer service
-
#boredinafactoryupddated (@GedNeilAlex) reported from Walsall Wood, EnglandWell done to @O2 for a super fast service. Sent us a replacement sim in less than 24hours. Well done!
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI 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 🤢

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.

Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, EnglandI seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

Jorden Woellner (@jorden05) reported@O2 why can’t i upgrade online, tried to do it on chat and they can’t either keep saying go to a store. No I want to do it online. Help me
-
The Nezir (@The_Nezir) reported@O2 Interestingly, three months ago, on the same day, I transferred both of my SIM cards to O2, installed eSIMs in two new iPhone Airs, both with the same iOS version. I carry both with me, and while one works perfectly, the other doesn't. When I told this to the service technician,

Lord Stagg®️ (@staggy77) reported@O2 please explain to me who decides what is fair usage on an unlimited data package? And why if you are on an unlimited data package it’s not actually unlimited? Awful customer service and mobile provider.
-
jade needs to drink water (@CHECKEREDLESTER) reported@MaryxSSS @O2 it’s actually awful now if it wasn’t already before i didn’t think it could get any worse, miss the days of the free greggs hot drink and pizza every week 🥲 really got me through my uni days
-
Steve (@Swabsy1810) reported@O2 @CliveDaviesUK @O2 it’s just the same here in SK6 1PG area so many places where no signal or usable data. This is a relatively affluent area but your provisions are shocking
-
Paz DLXV (@paz565) reported@O2 The whole 'customer service' provided by O2 in relation to this matter has been nothing short of appalling. As O2 is now associated with Virgin Media, I will be taking the earliest opportunity available to switch the services I have with them too.
-
The Nezir (@The_Nezir) reported@O2 As a computer engineer with a master's degree, this explanation struck me as ridiculous. As a customer who has purchased dozens of iPhones, several iPads, three Macbooks, an Apple Watch, AirPods, etc., this is the first time you've surprised me in a negative way.
-
Tim (@UpperBullen) reported@O2 Surprise your systems are down until the sale ends
-
Mitul Chauhan (@themoogler) reported@O2 My wife (an O2 customer for over 20 years) lost her phone a few days ago and has tried to replace it but "computer says no". You won't let her buy a new phone because verification is linked to her lost phone. She is stuck in a mad loop. Please help
