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

    @o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.

  • 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

  • Hannahbreenx
    han (@Hannahbreenx) reported from Bromsgrove, England

    @O2 I haven’t had any signal in my own home for 2 weeks and when I check online it says there won’t be an update until the 10th of June. How is that acceptable for a paying customer? I’ve missed an extremely important medical call back because they can’t get through to me

    @Three_Is_Broken @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @O2 Try it they seem to be willing to cancel for those who escalate to the ombudsman service

  • Villandrew
    Andrew Horton (@Villandrew) reported from Solihull, England

    @villa19799 @O2 My mrs Is with @O2 and signal and 4G has been horrific lately, I’m on @virginmedia and have had no issues whatsoever .

  • SophieMDrake
    Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!

  • Crystalcraftand
    Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan.  I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

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

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

  • DirtySurti
    Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England

    @O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !

  • ChrisSammons_
    Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 Problem is, I don’t think any network is working...@tescomobile and @VodafoneUK also having same issue in my house...had no signal for weeks now

  • 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.

  • gracielou_xx
    Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢

  • SnapperSandwell
    SandwellSnapper (@SnapperSandwell) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Why when I click on the priority app for tickets, does it then not allow me to buy priority tickets on Ticketmaster? Why is it not working, it used to.

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

    @o2 signal in birmingham, on 4g but nothing working, been like this was at least a week now, struggling to see why im playing £60 a month to use wi-fi only.

  • steve8454
    steve beard (@steve8454) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 ok...this is ridiculous. My son is desperately trying to unlock his phone from o2 so he can use 3 network. Nobody is available from o2. Rang every day for 2 hrs, no reply. Live chat offline. No reply to tweets. Pls can somebody tell me how he can sort it. He has no phone!

  • longhairdsgtmaj
    Betsy Snow (@longhairdsgtmaj) reported from Wombourne, England

    @CPWTweets @O2 Why is it so hard to unlock an old CPW android phone, purchased through CPW but was on o2 sim/network. O2 say its CPW that need to unlock it, CPW say its O2, back n forth for 3 hours on live chat. Can one of you just get me a SIM network unlock PIN!! FFS!!

  • amanmarway
    batgirl (@amanmarway) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 have still not processed a refund from March/April (despite being promised at the time I wouldn’t even be overcharged and my account had already been credited) Two weeks ago I was told payment would be with me in 5 days but I’m chasing ONCE AGAIN Atrocious customer service

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

    @O2 Getting very close to the point of cancelling my order. The port has failed and I have no service. Cannot get through to your support as there are no agents available. No reply to FB message since 9 am. The clock is ticking...

    @O2 hi, i’ve been going through the online process to order a new phone and tariff and half way through i’ve had a blank page after submitting an upfront payment. The payment has gone through but i can’t complete the next steps. Can you help?

  • ChallengeFaz
    Tom (@ChallengeFaz) reported

    So @O2 has got to be the absolute worst I’ve dealt with bar none. Seemingly no training or people skills needed to be on the other side of the 202 number…

  • sheritzy
    Shez (@sheritzy) reported

    I hate when im using my phone in public and @O2 decides there's no more signal 🙄

  • GreenVapinGiant
    Northumberland Wanderer (@GreenVapinGiant) reported

    @ad_moran4 @EE @O2 I had similar issue recently, I decided to get a sim free phone from ee and a separate sim only deal, it worked out about 15 quid cheaper than what they quoted. So if you buy iPhone 17 sim free, it's about 32 a month over 24 months, then buy a sim deal. It will probs be cheaper

  • ajb1975
    Angela Beardsmore (@ajb1975) reported

    @GreggsOfficial @o2 app machine not working in my local Greggs so had to pay full price for my coffee (had saved the £1 treat for today) and also lost out on the Greggs point when paying full price 😩😡

  • Propertyshe
    Susan Freeman (@Propertyshe) reported

    Good afternoon @O2. We continue to have absolutely zero telephone reception in Burley New Forest BH24 4BA? You told us last year the ‘issue’ had been resolved. It has not been resolved. Can you look into this please?

  • LaurenRose94_
    Lauren 🦋 (@LaurenRose94_) reported

    @O2 I spent hours on live chat with you yesterday to sort an issue out, I thought it was finally resolved but the email I got confirming has all the wrong information in it. I’m getting so incredibly tired of spending 3 hours at a time waiting to speak to someone. Please help.

  • cpfcjc
    CPFC J (@cpfcjc) reported

    Anyone else having issues with @O2 not responding to customer emails? Reception has been awful for months. I go into the shop & the staff say, "Yeah, we know it's the mast on top of a block of flats & don't know when it will be fixed." So I email twice and still get no answer.

  • Propertyshe
    Susan Freeman (@Propertyshe) reported

    @O2 It’s been ongoing for over a year. You told me it had been resolved but we continue to have no @O2 signal. Seems to have started when you put in a new mast down the road.

    @joecousins89 @O2 Bad init, it’s literally every day the signal goes
