Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Smethwick and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • 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.

  • _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!

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cheadle Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England

    @whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves

  • 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 @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 !

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

  • 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.

  • 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?!!!!!

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

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

  • hollabexs Bexs (@hollabexs) reported

    Is anyone else having shocking signal problems with @O2 & @VodafoneUK? All day everyone in our household has had no signal and it says no network works are being done

  • Sean62140511 Sean (@Sean62140511) reported

    @O2 Still am because O2 seem unable to sort out their problem and get my phone reconnected. Just stopped replying on here and in live chat (just before 5, take it they have pissed off home mid conversation)

  • HelsBels010 Helen Berry (@HelsBels010) reported

    @O2 My old number hasn’t ported over, signing into MyO2 gives an error message, I can’t get through on the phone - have now waited 45 mins) and my DM from 2 days ago has been ignored. How do I get any customer service?

  • sszmidt199 Stephen Szmidt (@sszmidt199) reported

    @O2 2/2 The delay and the long waiting times to speak to Customer services are unacceptable, so within the 14 day cooling off period we have both cancelled out contract with you. Very disappointing and a waste of our time. 😡

  • munchiebaby77 lynne hendry (@munchiebaby77) reported

    @O2 Any ideas why I'm suddenly unable to send texts to just one of my contacts? Just get messages saying 'Not delivered'. They are able to send me messages and I'm not blocked on their mobile. Not having any problems with any other contacts.

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported from Chadwell, England

    @iD_Mobile_UK @O2 @giffgaff As expected, and despite the promises, I have received no call back for a third (and now final) time. Please escalate the complaint as requested - I've had three commitments for a call back only for you to miss every single one of them. Beyond poor service.

  • Epic_Kirsty Kiki (@Epic_Kirsty) reported

    @MonaSarah15 @O2 Mona RUN. They are busier than usual ALL THE TIME. Every day. Trust me, I've been trying to get a reply to an issue for literal months.

  • dr55adm anita malkhandi (@dr55adm) reported

    @O2 can’t get a new apple watch connection sorted despite trying online chat , O2 help on the app or phoning & holding for more than 20minutes. Online FAQs suggest tweeting to get it actioned - seriously?? Rubbish customer service
