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
-
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
-
Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England@O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

Mart🌲🌻🦊🐞🎵😁 🇪🇺♂️🏳️🌈🌹🌊 (@Martbushii) reported from Dudley, England@O2 @ThreeUK What on earth is happening in Dudley West midlands. Mine and my friends mobile phones have had no service. Is there something wrong?. I am doing this on his Post Office home internet

✨Becky Higgins✨ (@ppmbecky) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 great service from Sarah and Matt in the Walsall store this morning..... #customerservice #asset toteam #safariissuesorted #qustodiotheproblem
-
Conor (@conorcole) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Your call centre operatives are rude & your information is misleading. I’ll be paying this device off then switching my network ✨
-
Dad (@RampziieTweets) reported from Walsall Wood, England@TheO2 @O2 can you sort your network in Walsall, Birmingham. I put a complaint in at the beginning of the year and it’s STILL unbearable
-
Ashley Robert Scrivens (@AshScrivens) reported from Birmingham, EnglandRemember when @three public shamed @o2 for being down. Pot Kettle..
-
SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England@TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.
-
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
-
Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, EnglandHow poor is the coverage from @virgin mobile? Since the merger with @O2 the mobile coverage is appalling. Massive price increase on all plans/ packages yet the network service is worse than ever
-
Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, Englandhey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?
-
Lysander 🦆 (@Lysander_16) reported from Wednesfield, EnglandHey @O2 is there a actually a mast issue in Wolverhampton? As I've been receiving little to no Internet while I'm at work (WV10) It's been about 2 weeks. I'm not the only one either. Checked your service status and says there's a mast issue but it hasn't been fixed. Any ideas?
-
RICARDO WILLIAMS (@iamRicardoW) reported from Birmingham, England@BigJMusic @O2 @ThreeUK Did that... never looked back! Do it
-
#boredinafactoryupddated (@GedNeilAlex) reported from Walsall Wood, EnglandWell done to @O2 for a super fast service. Sent us a replacement sim in less than 24hours. Well done!
-
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.
-
Gordé 🥚 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, EnglandI’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??
-
George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 your customer service has gone extremely S**T

-
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.

-
Ian Judd (@Marooned_Sailor) reported@o2 @ofcom we have been waiting over 20 years for a reliable mobile internet service on the london Portsmouth train line… I know you are busy but any chance yet of an eta for delivery?
-
Kay Gunning (@kay_guest19) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 I got so fed up with O2’s excuses for the non existent signal in Tonbridge that I moved to EE last November. Not had a problem since!

-
Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@SarahLudford) reportedI want to scream, as so often with ‘customer service’ [sic] these days. @virginmedia and @O2 have merged; neither of my passwords works. I click a link to reset and all I get is ‘verification of email address’ not ‘reset password’. So fed up.
-
Paul Andrews (@vanillaweb) reported@PaddyBriggs @TomTugendhat @O2 WTF are you talking about ? Mobile phone networks have never been privatised,
