  • DirtySurti Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England

    @O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !

  • goingabitgrey John McKeon (@goingabitgrey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Very poor, new link provided by @DriiftLive doesn’t support casting to another device there is no excuse for this awful provision.

  • paulberry2303 Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 I have today received another letter telling me the phone is blocked. I don’t have an O2 phone. I have never had an O2 phone. I don’t owe any money. I know you are looking at it but surely you can put a block on correspondence while you do?

  • M5Mahmud Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 @virginmedia Further to this, he has now told me that as I get a £15/month discount for my 1st 6 months with O2, I need to cancel that and pay full price in order to get the extra #Volt speed boost with VM

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Help @O2 - I want to upgrade to the Huawei P30 Pro but it says it's not in stock. Will it ever be or can we not get Huawei anymore?

  • berniebaps101 ҍҽɾղíҽҍɑԹՏ ♏ (@berniebaps101) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I have £45 left to pay on my device, if I pay that can I then cancel the contract as I don't use the sim?

  • Martbushii Mart🌲🌻🦊🐞🎵😁 🇪🇺♂️🏳️‍🌈🌹🌊 (@Martbushii) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 @ThreeUK What on earth is happening in Dudley West midlands. Mine and my friends mobile phones have had no service. Is there something wrong?. I am doing this on his Post Office home internet

  • adam0604 Adam Waterhouse (@adam0604) reported from Halesowen, England

    Yo why is @O2 4G network coverage so garbish lately? Sort your **** out man, I don't pay for a 1 bar signal wherever I go!

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

  • StevoJones1984 Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

  • AnneBaines1 Anne Baines 💙💙💙💙💙💙 (@AnneBaines1) reported from Hagley, England

    @acorbettn @O2 @metpoliceuk How awful. I hope that you are ok. Take care of yourself

  • Lysander_16 Lysander 🦆 (@Lysander_16) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Hey @O2 is there a actually a mast issue in Wolverhampton? As I've been receiving little to no Internet while I'm at work (WV10) It's been about 2 weeks. I'm not the only one either. Checked your service status and says there's a mast issue but it hasn't been fixed. Any ideas?

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • c_booth1990 Chris Booth (@c_booth1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 please can you get the signal sorted in The Walsall area West Midlands the signal is horrendous keeps dropping out! Thanks

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

  • MrTegSingh Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 customer services shocking after spending nearly 3 hours on the phone to them I had to go to the wolves store and sort it out myself. Massive thank you too Jeeves who works at o2 wolves for finding me a phone reserving it at merry hill I know have my new phone

    @O2 Yes along with all the other stuff you recommend and it's still not working properly, when people ring me it's says my phone is switched off although it's not! I've tried re-booting, taking the sim out, dialling numbers to make it ring for longer, airplane mode....

  • LesHerring28 Les (@LesHerring28) reported

    @O2 allways had really good mobile internet where i live (nearly always 4g). Untill you 'improved' the service in my area, now its all h. Can't even load a web page when out and about. What happened? #WN8

  • Jane17843158 Jane (@Jane17843158) reported

    @O2 Can you please address the issue of no signal in Biggin Hill it’s been months now that the mast has been broken and not repaired. This is not acceptable fix this network issue now. 😡

    @O2 I've done all the normal stuff @O2. It's just generally very poor service on the data network especially throughout London.

  • Leanne157 Leanne Collins (@Leanne157) reported

    @O2 I’ve recently moved and my signal is awful. My calls drop out and no one can hear me on the phone. How do I contact you as I keep getting fobbed off! I pay an extortionate amount each month and can’t use my phone.

  • LauraBri1980 Laura Brightmore (@LauraBri1980) reported

    @o2 why is it I’m paying £50 for a contract on a phone that freezes daily, told they don’t replace, only repair but have a disabled child and can’t be without a phone! First chance I get I’ll be leaving, awful service
