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

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

    @O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?

  • 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 !

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

    @O2 After spending 6 hours trying to get hold of customer services, I ended up driving (and paying for parking) to go to one of your shops to get a sim swap. This apparently the only to get service working. Not the best of starts.

  • c_booth1990 Chris Booth (@c_booth1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 please can you get the signal sorted in The Walsall area West Midlands the signal is horrendous keeps dropping out! Thanks

  • Tracey_Devina Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!

  • mparkerjones Matthew Parker-Jones Hall (@mparkerjones) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 hi we ever getting a fix for postcodes WS14 and WV14 terrible phone signal and data just doesn't connect mentioned in December and according to your app it would be fixed in 2 weeks ?! 4months later still exactly the same

  • 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.

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Help @O2 - I want to upgrade to the Huawei P30 Pro but it says it's not in stock. Will it ever be or can we not get Huawei anymore?

  • 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

  • hijabiexplorer Mimii Hatun |Y| aka Ms Begum (@hijabiexplorer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Typical of @o2 for not cancelling my line when I a called in during the cooling off period to cancel the contract. #Thieves

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

    I’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

  • berniebaps101 ҍҽɾղíҽҍɑԹՏ ♏ (@berniebaps101) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I have £45 left to pay on my device, if I pay that can I then cancel the contract as I don't use the sim?

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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)

  • MuslimShamir Follow Poor Shamir Claimant Ali Entrapment (@MuslimShamir) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Answer the phone. Is your phone not working ? Is it a desk phone or mobile you using ?

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • StevoJones1984 Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

  • paulberry2303 Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 I have today received another letter telling me the phone is blocked. I don’t have an O2 phone. I have never had an O2 phone. I don’t owe any money. I know you are looking at it but surely you can put a block on correspondence while you do?

  • krisbradshaw Chris Bradshaw (@krisbradshaw) reported

    @O2 hello, I joined up a new Pay Monthly customer yesterday. The contract showed the deal without the upfront and monthly discounts I got. Is this normal?

  • Shay12three Sé McLou (@Shay12three) reported

    @O2 Hi, locked out of my account as my Security Question answer doesn't seem to work and I seem to have a handful of different passwords. Is there a person I can talk to to help. The Virtual Assistant is an utter abomination!

  • Gazby77 Gary Chapman (@Gazby77) reported

    @O2 This company is an utter disgrace,no service in E4 7BE because you can't fix,or can't be bothered to fix a mast, which are routine jobs.If 02 says the job will be done on the 9th,we might as well add on at least two weeks. I suppose the excuse will be you're waitig for a part

  • WasimYounus001 Wasim Younus (@WasimYounus001) reported

    @O2 Flipping a Phone as if you are in an Action Movie. Are you lot Delusional or Just Stupid as you appoint Patricia Cobian who comducts Fraud & Scams. If you think you are in Movie by flipping a phone shows what Stupid people run O2 and does this come from Lutz or someone in PR?

  • creedcosplay Creed Cosplay 🔜 EGX2022 (@creedcosplay) reported

    @O2 I cancelled my phone contract over 2 mths ago I payed my last bill and you are still saying I owe you money. I have called 4 times to sort this. The last time I called you put me though to 4 different people. And the last transfer to customer service.....

  • chilaspt Xicuembo (@chilaspt) reported

    @O2 another day at @Gatwick_Airport , another day without data... Personal phone, work phone, wife's phone, all good signal, no data whatsoever... When will @o2 spend a few pounds increase the link and fix the congestion problems?

  • SarahJayne0751 Sarah (@SarahJayne0751) reported

    @O2 hi I have had a notification pop up on my phone stating you have now disconnected my 4g - customer services is shut can someone get in touch please!

  • VictorMeldrew00 Victor Meldrew (@VictorMeldrew00) reported

    @O2 along with your continued non existent mobile connections. Now auto connect to WiFi doesn’t seem to work, and can’t connect manually as wants a phone a number to text a code to - but of course I can’t receive texts cause no signal!

  • MCTYC98 🌸BornWithRights🌸 (@MCTYC98) reported

    @O2 great, no service, again, no updates til 20th Dec, brilliant…..meantime stop calling me asking me to upgrade, you cannot be serious when I can barely get 4G. Only thing happening next year will be me going back to Vodafone

  • MarkDickens1 Mark Dickens (@MarkDickens1) reported

    @LittleBearsDads @O2 I have the same problem; IMEI not recognised, and if entered to identity your phone in the first field, nothing happens (same when you enter serial number; only model type moves things on). Appalling website!
