    @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.

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @ThreeUK public shamed @O2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • ChrisSammons_ Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Thats the answer I expected to be honest, to a customer of 18 years 👍🏼

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

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

  • Ieeshhhk ieesh (@Ieeshhhk) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 what’s with the dodgey service today 🙄

  • Bigglesdaf Andrew (@Bigglesdaf) reported from Wombourne, England

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @O2 Try it they seem to be willing to cancel for those who escalate to the ombudsman service

  • 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

  • Wolvostu Stu Parry (@Wolvostu) reported from Dudley, England

    Is 02 down in the DY6 area @O2

  • ChrisSammons_ Chris Sammons (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I appreciate theres obviously a serious issue, I’ve never known signal to be down for so long at one time. There needs to be a conversation at some stage regarding a substantial reimbursement on this months tariff, because to not have any signal whatsoever for this long is a pain

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

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

  • JakeBox7 Jake Box (@JakeBox7) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Swear no matter what town/city I go I get no ******* signal on 02 @O2

  • _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 👍

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

    @O2 B11HQ B4 B42 B44 They are my main postcodes, they used to be fantastic, for about 3 months now signal has drilled into the ground.

  • 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

  • Paul1366 The McFugget (@Paul1366) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @O2 Any known issues with the phone service in Tamworth and Lichfield. I can barely make phone calls and it shows I have 4g but the Internet is awfully slow.

  • AshScrivens Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, England

    Remember when @three public shamed @o2 for being down. Pot Kettle..

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • PhilTonks2 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.

  • matthewedthomas Matthew Barney Ⓥ (@matthewedthomas) reported

    @O2 ABSOLUTE JOKE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I have just joined as a new customer and have been hung up on the customer service phone number when trying to find out when my number will be ported over. I might stay with Vodafone after all 😤

  • RossEdwards_F1 Ross Edwards (@RossEdwards_F1) reported

    @O2 waiting music for 40 minutes to speak to your customer services who transferred me within 2 minutes to then be given an auto@stead message that your too busy and to try again later and have the phone put down on me?? #badcustomerservice

  • DebbieNDuncan Debbie Duncan (@DebbieNDuncan) reported

    @O2 @Apple can anyone explain why I’m having to pay £369 for a repair on my iPhone 11, when the fault is down to a software fault after an iOS automatic update and nothing to do with how I’ve cared for the phone?! Also why is the warranty only 1 year for a 3 year contract?!

  • EvilNinjaPhil EvilNinjaPhil (@EvilNinjaPhil) reported

    @O2 hi, I ordered a SIM card Tuesday which hasn’t turned up yet, I have tried the track my order page but the parcel ref given doesn’t work on the Royal Mail website. Help?

  • heather_sheard Heather Sheard (@heather_sheard) reported

    @O2 is there a problem in the ST10 area with O2 today. Three phones all with zero signal but yet your webpage says no problems detected. #nothappy

  • zoequillan Zoë Chamberlain #3.5% 💙 (@zoequillan) reported

    @O2 Your customer service must be absolutely rammed with calls from the whole of the UK! I was on hold for 37 mins and was still in the queue. Is there a good time to call to speak to someone?

  • nathwils Nathan Wilson (@nathwils) reported

    @O2 I've had no data signal at home for days now - please can you help!

  • steve66stevie66 Steve Devlin (@steve66stevie66) reported

    @O2 Still kicking that can down the street, weeks and Months go by O2 taking Customers money without giving access to data services. They’ve made it worse adding Virgin, Tesco & Gif Gaf and now giving data away free. £38.50 per month sim only and I’ve no data!!!

  • anotidaa_ Ano (@anotidaa_) reported

    @O2 😑😑😑 I’m getting tired of your tired *** network! How many times do I need to switch my phone and off just for a simple simple connection

  • CamilaPenrayfon Camila Penrayfon (@CamilaPenrayfon) reported

    @O2 I want to remove/cancel ONE product off my account but cannot say that to the voice machine. It only understands cancel contract/insurance. App no good. Long wait to be through to 'talk about' my account - then ANOTHER long wait to get thru to cancellations. Still waiting😔
