  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @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 !

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

    @O2 why does the local B90 4AJ mast go faulty EVERY week. 6 weeks in a row now, we get no service until it is repaired. You need better repair engineers as their repairs do not even last a week!!!

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

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

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 @jimswanstonlive That crap answer does not improve your **** network . How about Birmingham B12 again utter Shite signal ! Guess what I know the local mast is down but it has been ever since I have been with you !

  • 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.

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @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?

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • sukirandhawa4x4 Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #PathaanCollection WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering considering moving on to another network.

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

    @O2 working like clockwork? It goes faulty every week. "O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

    @o2. Like clockwork every week O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Sorry, a phone mast close to you isn't working as well as we would expect Our engineers are carrying out some checks to investigate issues in this area...

  • 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

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Loosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks

  • auspices richard (@auspices) reported from Birmingham, England

  • Playstation2026 LankyAstro (@Playstation2026) reported

    @O2 Got the new IPhone 12 and I must say it is rubbish , there’s nothing majorly new on this phone , the fact that @Apple don’t supply charger plugs and headphones anymore is terrible , for the price of the phone is overpriced , I advise people don’t buy the iPhone 12

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @O2 Problem is when trying to connect at stations whether on platform or train.

  • Gemma_Fox Gemma 🦊 (@Gemma_Fox) reported

    I’ve been with @O2 FOREVER. Their merge with virgin has made me wonder if I want to move networks. And the upgrade offer is MUCH more £ than switching. Any recommendations for a new network? Or are they much of a muchness?

  • PeterCuffaro Peter Cuffaro (@PeterCuffaro) reported

    Just been given the worst customer service from o2 after 20yrs+ of loyalty. Means nothing anymore so moving the whole family contracts to another network. Suggestions please? @O2

  • Amy16666371 Amy (@Amy16666371) reported

    @O2 would you like to explain why my phone has been cut off after I’ve apparently “missed a payment” when I rang up and changed my payment date over a week ago? Shocking customer service and I am now unable to use my mobile device.

  • Glawsboy84 Tom (@Glawsboy84) reported from Longford, England

    @Gemma_Fox @O2 EE & especially Vodafone seemed to have decent coverage but the latter often lacking in deals, moved to 3 last year & coverage/speed is awful, only 2 months until I can switch again! Always have a look at MSE for decent deals.

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @O2 Have been an O2 customer for over 20 years and normally not noticed a problem. Virgin Media seems to connect at the odd tube station without rhyme or reason.

  • Gemma_Fox Gemma 🦊 (@Gemma_Fox) reported

    @gilbertxgreen @O2 I feel this! The 2 have merged now so I was hoping for good deals. I loved being with o2 but I’ve seen the signal get worse. The deals get worse and customer service get worse.

  • MoAhmed93 m a (@MoAhmed93) reported

    @O2 I'm not receiving any OTP/2FA codes from when requested from organisations (e.g. my bank) to my O2 number. Some help please?

  • ZoeSherratt77 Zoë Sherratt (@ZoeSherratt77) reported

    @O2 I’ve inboxed you, can you help?
