  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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...

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

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

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

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

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    That, @O2 had better coverage now I'm left with all this extra stress when I'm out because my mobile doesn't work when using @O2 network.... Its not my mobile either. I have a Samsung s20.....

  • 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!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • Adventure_Rach 🎢👠 Adventure Rachel 🎢👠 (She/Her) (@Adventure_Rach) reported from Perton, England

    @O2 sorry correct tag now!! 13 years+ with three and no real discount for loyalty and pushy chat op trying to get me to have a S22! Nah not a hope! #TeamPixel ftw! I hope @O2 will treat me well

    Hey @O2 I’m just trying to top up my payasyougo phone and now I have to find a postcode associated with an old Virgin Media account? What ********?

  • AneesLDS 🇵🇸 (@AneesLDS) reported

  • engrsalmansar Engr Salman Sarwar (@engrsalmansar) reported

  • jenny_9388 Jennifer Taylor (@jenny_9388) reported

    Outstanding customer service from Conner at @O2 in Dumfries last Sunday. He really needs to receive some recognition as he was the definition of above and beyond in helping sort a phone issue for partner’s 90 year old dad. O2 - please recognise and reward! He was a credit to you!

  • kerrymarie KerrySouthworth (@kerrymarie) reported

    @O2 I need help. My dad needs his PUK code and your login system online is not working, and your phones are not answering. Please help as a matter of urgency.

  • MattWBroadley Matthew Broadley (@MattWBroadley) reported

    @o2 I have been trying to cancel a contract for months now, hoping that you will send me an email that I can either reply to, or that gives a number that I can speak to someone on. It is ridiculous that if you have an unactivated SIM, that you can't cancel it. Sort it out!
