Samantha Thompson (@crazysamsam) reported from Walsall Wood, EnglandYour customer service has been awful at this difficult time @O2. We had to call your bereavement department so many times to sort out the bill you said you’d wave, and this has caused us much stress and anxiety. To then contact us again on FATHER’S DAY is extremely cruel.
-
Tina-Louise Boyce (@LittleMissCosta) reported from Solihull, England@O2 I've tried this just now, they've said they've sent a code to my number but I've got no service to receive the text..
-
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!
-
Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wolverhampton, England@villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling
-
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.
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢
-
PongoVilla (@PongoVilla) reported from Birmingham, EnglandWhy has #o2 gone crap since they merged with #Virgin time to move @o2
-
Tom Bradshaw (@_tombradshaw) reported from Birmingham, England@EnglandRugby @SixNationsRugby @O2 Hate seeing Marchant out the 23, feels like he never gets a run of games… but a strong team, and a hell of a bench!
-
Gordé (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@o2 signal in birmingham, on 4g but nothing working, been like this was at least a week now, struggling to see why im playing £60 a month to use wi-fi only.
-
George Kafetzis (@Georgekafetzis) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 your customer service has gone extremely S**T
-
Betsy Snow (@longhairdsgtmaj) reported from Wombourne, England@CPWTweets @O2 Why is it so hard to unlock an old CPW android phone, purchased through CPW but was on o2 sim/network. O2 say its CPW that need to unlock it, CPW say its O2, back n forth for 3 hours on live chat. Can one of you just get me a SIM network unlock PIN!! FFS!!
-
Sajid Shaikh (@shaikhycwu) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Why are customers so unreliable in what they tell to resolve your issue. That was cause by o2 customer services yet customer suffer and pay the bill
-
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
-
Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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??

-
Julie Dickerson (@JulieTessa46) reported@mattstingray @O2 I’m finding exactly the same and their response was use WiFi calling! A great help when you don’t have access and need to make a call.
-
Mark Grist (@markgrist) reported@O2 You have to be the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure dealing with. I cancelled my account with in June, & am still getting billed. I never get a response if i email, I’ve sent a letter 6 weeks ago with no response, I’m not holding my breath for any kind of reply.
-
Jade (@Jade66755388) reported@O2 Why tell me my signal issue is resolved when it’s not! I’ve been stuck like this since March why won’t you sort it? I want compensation or I will take it further!
-
Lauren Turner (@BabyfaceLau) reportedAnyone else’s signal been absolute 💩 on @o2 recently?!
-
Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reported@jmellling1895 @O2 @davehpayne That's very interesting. I have had problems for months with the O2 app, periodically not letting me log in. Won't let me upgrade my tariff. When I tried to submit a complaint it failed Call centre suggesting I was the problem. I'm leaving them now. I have had enough.

Sekret Machines (@privatepilotuk) reportedand still @o2 have done nothing about this disaster of a sign in process with @virginmedia Fire your developers. #Clueless

Norman Lawson (@NormanL59377696) reportedOh great @o2 signal useless in Bromborough area again 😪
-
𝙼𝙰𝚃𝚃 𝚂𝙿𝚁𝙰𝙺𝙴 (@mattsprake) reported@O2 Nah.. it’s ok.. I’ve had enough! Today I switched to @EE after being your customer for around 20 years! Your customers deserve MUCH MUCH better and it’s not just the signal! It’s just about everything! While in the store two more people switched over as well.. I’d say you guys are in big trouble!
-
Nilesh Thanki (@NileshGThanki) reportedLooking for resolution from @O2 been having ongoing signal and network problems since joining in December 2025. Live in EN1, Enfield. Complaint after complaint and still no resolution. Why pay for a service if we are not receiving it. Can’t make basic calls in our own home!
-
Billion Dollar Brain #MDANT (@harryhpalmer) reportedWow. The quality of signal and performance from @lebara since switching from @O2 which has been shite for a long time. 5G all the way on my tube journey, unlike o2. And Lebara is so much cheaper.
