    @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!

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 #WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering all the time, considering moving on to another network after 20 plus years with you.

  • 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

  • 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?!!!!!

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

    Dunno what’s worse your “priority” or signal @O2

    @O2 can someone please respond to my Dm? your customer service is useless I’ve been on the phone for half an hour and your advisor hung up on me

  • idRidge 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙚𝙡 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙮 (@idRidge) reported

    @O2 I'll leave it for you to fix. Thank you.

  • JaySeeDeCaux Jay See (@JaySeeDeCaux) reported

    @O2 your customer "service" team just hung up on me when I called regarding my returned handset and refund. This is ridiculous now, it was delivered back to you on the 2nd November and you're still sending me invoices.

  • mariabailey1998 Maria (@mariabailey1998) reported

    @O2 Why can I not talk to customer services without paying £5.00?

  • bond_louise Louise (@bond_louise) reported

    @O2 How do I select a different network? In my network settings it shows O2 for calls and texts but this is shaded out so I cannot change it. Thanks.

  • gsmudan Gurmeet Singh Mudan (@gsmudan) reported

    @O2 Please help with a problem with Volt-ons. It's impossible to get through to your online chat service and there appears to be no telephone number either.

  • bond_louise Louise (@bond_louise) reported

    @O2 A pixel 3A. I have found an option to choose network but it says no networks found.

  • AvantGardensnft Avant Gardener (@AvantGardensnft) reported

    @virginmedia are a bunch of thieves, but are @O2 and @TheO2 just as bad #FasterCloser #Voltme

  • Carlo14601 Carl (@Carlo14601) reported

    @O2 Signal is ******* zero in ch1 1rj area. Yes your checker says it gets busy here and the network may be slow: but it’s ******* zero. @LutzSchueler what an embarrassment

  • HoneyP26 Honey Price (@HoneyP26) reported

    @O2 Hi. My new 5G sim card seems not working on my new phone. How can I activate it? Is it the same number that I have before?
