  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Thanks, it was worth a try, but unfortunately I can't open the link because my connection speed is apparently too slow.

  • charlll18x Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Dunno what’s worse your “priority” or signal @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?!!!!!

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @O2 @jimswanstonlive That crap answer does not improve your **** network . How about Birmingham B12 again utter Shite signal ! Guess what I know the local mast is down but it has been ever since I have been with you !

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

    @O2 9 hours after you reported it fixed (again). O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

  • 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.

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

    @o2. Like clockwork every week O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Sorry, a phone mast close to you isn't working as well as we would expect Our engineers are carrying out some checks to investigate issues in this area...

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?

  • 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 !

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

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

  • sukirandhawa4x4 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.

  • Cheadle Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England

    @whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves

  • _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!

    Maybe the sihal was so bad @O2 didn't get my tweet

  • jamesr181 JamesR (@jamesr181) reported

    @iryanjamese @O2 Completely agree!! I’m pretty pissed off to be honest. Just hoping it isn’t going to be October! Even on the apple site it’s saying mid October now so I think the same problem wherever you go now!

  • westham009 Jack Allum 🏳️‍🌈 (@westham009) reported

    @O2 I’m having issues sending text messages. I either have to go into airplane mode and back or turn my phone off and on before they will send. Others on O2 NOT experiencing these issues.

  • SM1982_ Ste (@SM1982_) reported

    @Ofcom I know there is a time scale for companies to deal with complaints before you get involved but I swear this issue I have with @O2 is driving me mad. I literally want to pay a bill and they won’t or can’t take the payment despite it showing as pending from my bank. 1/2

  • jamesr181 JamesR (@jamesr181) reported

    @iryanjamese @O2 I’ve always preordered through o2 but this year seems to be a real problem. Never had this in the past! There shouldn’t be a preorder option if they aren’t going to have the stock!

  • iryanjamese Ryan🫶🏽 (@iryanjamese) reported

    @jamesr181 @O2 LOOK AT THIS **** @O2 you must be having a laugh! I preordered this phone at EXACTLY 13:13 on Friday the 9th of September.

  • SM1982_ Ste (@SM1982_) reported

    @O2 @Ofcom it’s going to end up showing on my credit file and I am trying to sort a mortgage. Another 2 hours on the phone tonight and not sorted. Nobody wants to take responsibility. HELP

  • ren_unit Martin R (@ren_unit) reported

    @O2 You guys are LIARS. I was offered a promotion by o2 staff and I am now being told no such thing exists. That the employee I spoke to know one knows. Yet I’ve had texts from O2 asking what I thought of my service. Go back and listen to the calls associated with the account .

  • iryanjamese Ryan🫶🏽 (@iryanjamese) reported

    @jamesr181 @O2 I’ve tweeted at them multiple times, I’ve dm them twice and **** all. I’ve pre ordered the new iPhone every year from apple for the last like 5-6 years. I deceive to get a contract and from o2 this year and it goes tits up!!!

  • jackgreggs jack (@jackgreggs) reported

    @O2 hi I requested a super Duolingo voucher with o2 priority, it says the voucher has been used but my Duolingo account is still on basic, it now says the voucher is not available and to tweet for support?
