  • 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 !

  • 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?

  • PongoVilla PongoVilla (@PongoVilla) reported from Birmingham, England

    Why has #o2 gone crap since they merged with #Virgin time to move @o2

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

    @O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?

  • 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.

  • _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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @O2 I've switched to a new network and transferred my number from O2 but I haven't heard anything from you - how do I know my account with you is closed and I'm not being charged still?

  • kate_wba Katie 💙🤍 (@kate_wba) reported

    Desperately need a phone upgrade but still £126 left... Any tips on making my phone battery last?? Its down to 35%and haven't used it all that much today 😩 @O2

  • OfficialChops 🄲🄷🄾🄿🅂🅈 (@OfficialChops) reported

    @O2 I’m really struggling with my 4G mobile date speed at the moment guys…. Is there an issue in the DL7 area?

  • MixedMagicWoman Teresa Fowler (@MixedMagicWoman) reported

    @O2 Perfect. This is just what I needed. Shame the customer service rep I spoke to on the phone today didn't make any mention of it...nor did the sales rep I saw in person in your shop yesterday!

  • CarlMatthews Carl Matthews (@CarlMatthews) reported

    @O2 Via the top up page while looked into my parents account and over the phone. @firstdirecthelp confirm there is no card issue or hold. Do you accept master card debit?

  • HolmeMadeHulme craig holmes (@HolmeMadeHulme) reported

    @O2 Could someone get back to me as soon as possible as I keep trying to contact customer services with no joy. I would appreciate if you are able to call my mobile to sort the issue. Thank you

  • PrettyHatMech 🄿🅁🄴🅃🅃🅈 🄷🄰🅃 🄼🄰🄲🄷🄸🄽🄴 (@PrettyHatMech) reported

    For those of you on @virginmedia suffering poor internet connectivity; one reason is they’ve under invested in cooling for their switch and server equipment for decades (profit margins for Liberty and Telefonica who own @O2 ). Neither company has viable #ClimateCrisis plans.

  • lewisbyers92 Lewis Byers (@lewisbyers92) reported

    @O2 Seems to be everywhere, just keeps dropping out of signal. BA2 & BS39

  • steve66stevie66 Steve Devlin (@steve66stevie66) reported

    @O2 no 4G in Colwyn Bay Area again, locals say there one mast and O2 offer pathetic service. But they still sell services here that they can’t fulfil.

  • megankaty95 Megan katy (@megankaty95) reported

    @O2 please sort your bloody service out. Actually makes me so mad that I can’t use my phone when I get into town😡
