    @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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

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

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

  • 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.

    @O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.

    @O2 I think my mom had the same text the other day. So had to help her by marking as spam and blocking it.

  • sabphotos69
    SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Woodside, England

    @simonmaroulis @O2 @ThreeUK The mast near me. Hasn’t worked in now 19months. I understand dead spots, but I struggle to get a 4g signal anywhere. Utterly ridiculous.

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

    @O2 can you stop advising people to "reset network settings" when your network has problems. This didn't fix the problem with your network and unfortunately wipes out all WiFi and Bluetooth settings, which then need manually setting up again. Not good advice at all.

  • 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.

  • KittykatClaire
    Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • EmmaJCasey
    Emma Casey (@EmmaJCasey) reported from Birmingham, England

    Is @O2 down at the moment?

  • 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

  • areeyoushaw

    Signals dog **** today lads, lasses, (other) @O2

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Called to complain about poor network coverage where I live and work. Battery died whilst waiting on hold forever.

    @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 !

    Used @o2 satellite up at @Beamish_Museum and was able to send and recieve texts and also whatsapps... No signal on EE so relied on o2... well done.. (this was on a iPhone 17 Pro Max)

  • XxSammie_89xX
    Samantha♥️ (@XxSammie_89xX) reported

    @O2 No service what so ever, WiFi at home sadly that's useless when your child's school can't even phone you! No 4g...no one can call, you need to reimburse your customers for 10 days when they are paying for a service they arent even receiving

  • 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

  • Nicolef1Penney
    Nicole Penney (@Nicolef1Penney) reported

    @O2 I have never been so shocked at a multi million pound company. 6 hours (between live chat and a phone call) my husband spent yesterday trying to upgrade our 4 phones. However although the credit check passed your “business policy” won’t allow more than 2 to be upgraded …

  • 88TomTom
    Tom Tom (@88TomTom) reported

    @O2 Can someone please help sort an issue. I’ve been waiting over 3weeks and the call centre said there nothing they can do and have submitted a new ticket and I need to wait another 2weeks! CIT-A399507 & CIT-A407913.

  • rooroowhitty

  • ItsLau_xo
    🍓Laura🍓 (@ItsLau_xo) reported

    @O2 is our network down? Whenever I try and call out get the 'Call Ended' message immediately. I also can't answer any calls. I try and it immediately terminates the call

  • JunaidIqbal0
    ji 🇵🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@JunaidIqbal0) reported

    @O2 trying to correct my DoB on my contract seems to be beyond O2 ability. 6 days in, countless calls to customer service, visits to local O2 store and logging a complaint and still no closer to a resolution.

    @O2 @kbushnell1975 Their customer service has become so poor since the merger with @Virgin it’s shocking

    @O2 @Katostevens Another lie, it’s not been working properly for over a week and I already contacted customer service about this multiple times!
