  • StuartCollett Stuart Collett (@StuartCollett) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    So far today: @NOWTV failed our change from @bt_uk yesterday so no broadband. @O2 signal is poor so phones are no use & our @FreeviewTV signal is terrible. So no internet, data, @NOWTV, or @FreeviewTV. Oh, and a child needs to revise online for exams on Monday. Fantastic.

  • TheCarlFord Carl Ford 🐝 🏎⚽️🥊 (@TheCarlFord) reported from Kinvere, England

    I can’t call you because @ThreeUKSupport are providing a crap service and have been for 3 weeks because of a bit of rain! Time to have a chat with @virginmedia @O2 @VodafoneUK I think, neither #Sky not #Three value customers. @Three_Is_Broken

  • miss_peace16 Miss Peace (@miss_peace16) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 disgusting service o2 that an email from a week ago STILL has not been acknowledged.

  • Georgekafetzis George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England

    The guys at @O2 store lower #bullring are rude. We have as a family 5 contracts and there is a way to speak to customers. Sales adviser even manger thought it was ok. Very rude here. Will go top floor from now on.

  • TeeKhan84 Tariq Khan (@TeeKhan84) reported from Birmingham, England

    Absolutely awful customer service from Awais at @O2 call centre. Takes 5 days to get an unlock code so that I can use my phone on another network and my o2 line finishes tomorrow! @Ofcom @WhichUK manager was in a 'meeting' and will get back to me by 9pm tonight. #stayawayfromo2

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 No I'm home now. I tried that but after several attempts of waiting 10 minutes to find a new network manually, I gave up.

  • BorisJWorrall Boris Worrall (@BorisJWorrall) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Great customer service @O2 sorting refund on defunct mobile contract, quick, friendly and no hassle 👍✅

  • carol_dd6 Carol Dickinson (@carol_dd6) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 I keep getting texts off you, rang the number to stop them but it’s not available. I’m not with O2 anymore so want them to stop now. Help 😮

  • ellrbrown Elliott Brown (@ellrbrown) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Not been as bad today. Also had software update. May pop into a O2 shop at the weekend.

  • MrRichAnderson Richard Anderson (@MrRichAnderson) reported from Kidderminster, England

    @O2 Terrible customer service, AGAIN. Promised a call on Monday morning. Came whilst I was out of reception (No surprise there!) Voicemail left saying you would try again. Nothing all week. Another reason not to actually upgrade and to leave O2.

  • Y2JONAKERFELDT Jonathan Deavs (@Y2JONAKERFELDT) reported from Redditch, England

    @O2 Hi. I’m thinking of upgrading this month to an iPhone XR 128 GB, or an iPhone X 256 GB. I’ve been a customer for over 10 years. Could you let me know the very best price based on 1 GB or 3 GB data over 36 months. Happy to DM any additional info.

  • Massontweet Iain L Masson - Musician (@Massontweet) reported from Birmingham, England

    @natashas_notes @O2 @cafenero @O2Priority It’s not possible in Birmingham to get one after 3pm on Tue or Wed any more. Until last month we always got one every Wednesday at tea time if we wanted (sold out Tuesdays) but now they sell out on both days by 3pm. There’s no reason to be with @O2 now - no phone signal /coffee.

  • harryharrad HH (@harryharrad) reported from Birmingham, England

    @SkyUK why is #skymobile signal so rubbish at weekends, you give free data and then the service levels drop! #poorservice won't be renewing with you next year! @O2 that's goes for you too! #rubbish!

  • PaulasJewellery Paula (@PaulasJewellery) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 is there a issue with the service this afternoon cuz I can't add a bolt on.

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @jameseonline @O2 There maybe plenty of good freebies and offers with priority. Just that o2 signal is shocking where I live anyway and this is what I can a priority when choosing mobile network. Why have a mobile that you can't use!

  • gav_wallace1 Gavin Wallace (@gav_wallace1) reported from Wednesfield, England

    2/2 @O2 I’m currently sat at Wolverhampton station and I have 1 bar or 4G in what is a major UK city. Absolutely nonsense that these problems continue to happen. I thought it was bad enough not getting full 4G in my house in Kilmarnock but this is just amateur hour at its finiest

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    The only reason I would be an @O2 customer

  • GriffPlays Griff™ in NYC 🗽 (@GriffPlays) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I think I made 2 or 3 phone calls all week and no, I had to rely on wifi because the data connection was so poor! 💸

  • MarkCook3rgj Mark cook (@MarkCook3rgj) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Absolutely poor service in Skegness this weekend @O2

  • msetchell Matt (@msetchell) reported from Redditch, England

    Thanks to Paul @SkyUK who responded to my tweet, replied and then called me, I’ve just got 2 x 10GB sim only deals for a total of £26pm - saving me £15pm verses @o2 and giving James 10x data. And we can roll it over. @o2 just replied saying they couldn’t help!

  • Leafs1201 Paul Durrant (@Leafs1201) reported

    @O2 one week in to a 24 month contract with you and I literally can’t take the awful signal anymore, and I’m 15 miles from London not in the countryside, had no hassle the last 4 years on ee but this is just sub standard at best, can I get out of my contract ?

  • truckpornxxx TruckPornXXX (@truckpornxxx) reported

    @amber_leah_x @O2 Hate those phone lines , I just hang up

  • SianyD_02 Siân Davies (@SianyD_02) reported

    @O2 sort your network coverage out between Hereford & Kidderminster! 40 minutes of travelling and not a single bar of signal! 😑😡 #o2

  • Johnnyr1970 john rudd (@Johnnyr1970) reported

    @MikeAubury @O2 @ladyTbarber1 Most contracts already had some kind of roaming cap anyway so I don think there is much change here. Like you say, bad PR.

  • StevePogson1 Steve Pogson #BoycottPalmOil (@StevePogson1) reported

    @O2 Customer Service in 2021 is as bad for sensory deprived people as 1971. They no longer respond to emails but send a link, which goes nowhere. The 'live chat is automated & can't understand the word 'disabled' when applied to a human. Their CS here ask for info, no response!

  • uk_magma UK-MAGMA 🇬🇧 (@uk_magma) reported

    @O2 You want me to send you a PM so you can hide my complaint by taking the conversation private. Your robot customer service person will just highlight your current deals on Samsung and Apple crap which I am not interested in. Do you think I am stupid.

  • loulouscorpio Louise Trewern 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@loulouscorpio) reported

    1/2 So no one at @O2 can authorise anything! Just rang to cancel my contract & was told that I have to wait for the ‘incident’ to be looked into & someone to call me back because I can’t be put through to the people that can authorise the return of my phone & watch! 🤬

  • Jason89653224 Jason (@Jason89653224) reported

    @O2 when are you actually going to fix the mast in the me11 area its had problems for months now!

  • philtheclaret Phil Graham (@philtheclaret) reported

    @JodiClements17 @O2 You should be able to terminate your contract early without an early termination fee if you can prove that you're having issues. We got out of a couple of Thee contracts for the same reason.

  • kmarnie KMarnie (@kmarnie) reported

    @O2 having issues with Priority - voucher saying it's been used when it hasn't....can you help??
