    @O2 your customer service is shocking. Get a grip. People need assistance. Sort it now!!!!!

  • PhilTonks2 Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Just runs very slow, if at all. Advised in the past to change settings in phone to use 3G but it's hardly practical to keep doing this. 4G+ in the City Centre just seems overloaded much of the time. Other half on Vodafone no issues at all. Very frustrating.

    @rachaelxspragg @O2 My update was via Email - BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SIGNAL SINCE MARCH 3RD 😂

  • Brumdad30 Rudi Feix (@Brumdad30) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 will someone please help me!!! Bloody useless o2

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

    @O2 Thats the answer I expected to be honest, to a customer of 18 years 👍🏼

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

    I would also like to add this will be TWO CALENDAR MONTHS with no signal @O2, TWO WHOLE MONTHS #TinPotNetwork #B73

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

    @O2 I appreciate theres obviously a serious issue, I’ve never known signal to be down for so long at one time. There needs to be a conversation at some stage regarding a substantial reimbursement on this months tariff, because to not have any signal whatsoever for this long is a pain

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 I have full signal...and 4G

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

    @danboq @VodafoneUK At least @O2 only fob me off once every two weeks 🤪 And they don’t even give a reason, just knock the date back every time 🤣 As long as I have signal in time so I can send my Xmas texts I’ll be a happy chap

  • JakeBox7 Jake Box (@JakeBox7) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Swear no matter what town/city I go I get no ******* signal on 02 @O2

  • 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

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @tescomobile @VodafoneUK I’ve raised this issue with both networks, collectively they don’t give a toss, this is the problem

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

    @paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 Full signal now...

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

    @O2 my son has changed network provider from o2 to ee. Waiting 5 days now for tel no to be transferred. Unable to get thru and no response to messages. Its crucial he has a working phone especially at this time. Shameful customer service.....

  • Paul1366 The McFugget (@Paul1366) reported from Tamworth District, England

    @O2 Any known issues with the phone service in Tamworth and Lichfield. I can barely make phone calls and it shows I have 4g but the Internet is awfully slow.

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

    @danboq @VodafoneUK @O2 have an annual rise in April too, when I have signal, the conversation will be interesting 😂

  • Jeanybabesb j7b7 (@Jeanybabesb) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    Have been with @ThreeUK since 2005...15 years and the service has just got worse...time to switch! What you got @EE @virginmedia @O2

  • Bigglesdaf Andrew (@Bigglesdaf) reported from Wombourne, England

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

  • 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!

  • kazpeza karen (@kazpeza) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @O2 such rude service this morning i havent phone and need a replacement sim sending and no way of ordering one as only accepting calls if your upgrading or cancelling,so i spoke to a girl from that team and she cut me off as i was explaining

  • nick_cotter Nick Cotter (@nick_cotter) reported

    @O2 Despite a long wait I never got through and gave up in the end. Changed provider to EE who have no such problem. Looking at your support forums this seems like a common issue.

  • harey2805 Nick Hare (@harey2805) reported

    @O2 Trying to call 202, get told opening hours are 8am to 9pm weekdays and then get told to call back tomorrow and get cut off. It's only 8:40pm. Usless customer service yet again.

  • bethhuffington b (@bethhuffington) reported

    @O2 looking to upgrade my phone but still have some device plan to pay. My dad has been a loyal O2 customer for at least 8 years now, maybe more. Is there such thing as a loyalty discount? 🤍

  • xayanassar Aya (@xayanassar) reported

    @O2 how can I have no service in my own bedroom ?!!!! Why has the signal been so awful recently

  • squall_loire Squall Loire (@squall_loire) reported

    @O2 Either way I'm not happy being charged more for a bolt-on than if I'd gone direct to Disney+. If I cancel the bolt-on, will my subscription remain active until the next billing cycle? I'd rather pay direct if it's going to cost me the same or more.

  • GatesMcTaste Jonathan Davis (@GatesMcTaste) reported

    @O2 is it true that if I upgrade my phone and have it delivered online and I have a problem I can't then take it to a brick and mortar store to be sorted I need to mail it back? I heard this in a store today.

  • MaggyClark Maggy Clark (@MaggyClark) reported

    @O2 What is wrong with your website. Can't top up - total rubbish. Bye, bye - can't be doing with your crap service. Don't bother to reply as totally fed up with you.

  • jkrh14 Jkrh (@jkrh14) reported

    @O2 Is the my o2 app down yet again?

  • Therapyxoxo 🌺Ericka🌺 (@Therapyxoxo) reported

    no one: Literally no one: Tv: starts to play the @O2 advert “ooh child…” Me: *runs down stairs* THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIERRR

  • MissBevis Miss Bevis (@MissBevis) reported

    @O2 Thanks but that doesnt help me when I'm not at home does it. Absolute joke and I will be taking this further. You have lost my custom.
