-
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
-
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.
-
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?
-
Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.
-
Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England@O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.
-
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
-
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...
-
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?!
-
Gordé (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 B11HQ B4 B42 B44 They are my main postcodes, they used to be fantastic, for about 3 months now signal has drilled into the ground.
-
Amy Bradwell (@amy_bradwell) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 I want to cancel my order with yourselves as the iPhone 12 pros are not included in the open discount.
-
🎢👠 Adventure Rachel 🎢👠 (She/Her) (@Adventure_Rach) reported from Perton, England@O2 sorry correct tag now!! 13 years+ with three and no real discount for loyalty and pushy chat op trying to get me to have a S22! Nah not a hope! #TeamPixel ftw! I hope @O2 will treat me well
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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!
-
Gordé 🦩 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?
-
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

Smoke 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 (@London__Smoke) reported@AnythingRugbyy @EnglandRugby @O2 Shame it's not capped for Kenners though. Either way MS15 isn't the problem at all here. Tom Curry must be praying for death or the beach and Ford probably needs a break also.
-
Profile Critics (@BooksProfile) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom, you were in power for 14 years and did nothing about reception on trains. This government is sorting that problem out. Just needed to flush out the Tories.
-
alaw mot (@SimonTa44447286) reported@O2 @Gary_Polley I dont beleve owt o2 say anymore ..dm is rubbish .still no reply after a month ..and a bill for a service i was told 3 times had finished ..
-
Dr Hanko Honkasson (@drhanko2) reported@TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom Tugendhat suggesting that somehow the Government is responsible for very poor coverage by privately run mobile networks in Dulwich, and that taxpayer should be funding improvements for companies like EE (2025 profits £1.2 billion) as infrastructure rather than cycle lanes.
-
R B (@RLBD1920) reported@O2 I did and it said there were no issues but now that I’m outside of my office I seem to have access to data now
-
Fiona Mountford (@FionaLondonarts) reported@O2 SIX DAYS for a reply to my messsage! I do feel valued as a customer... This simply confirms my decision to leave O2 for a proper grown-up network. Woeful service all round.
-
GBD (@DJBSBC) reported@O2 @TomTugendhat O2 your signal and data in particular is farcical. It’s one industry that has taken the biggest step back in terms of advancements and relies on people using WiFi more often and just ‘accepting’ that the service is ****.
-
Paz DLXV (@paz565) reported@O2 The whole 'customer service' provided by O2 in relation to this matter has been nothing short of appalling. As O2 is now associated with Virgin Media, I will be taking the earliest opportunity available to switch the services I have with them too.
-
Pete ‘Moose’ Jousiffe 🇬🇧 🏴 (@karakashin) reported@O2 absolutely crap service! We have been without mobile service for days in NN14! Will we be getting a refund?
-
🇺🇦 Clive Davies #FBPE 🔶🇬🇧🇪🇺🇭🇰 (@CliveDaviesUK) reported@O2 There’s really no point as nothing ever changes! And when Virgin Media goes down (which happens far too often) I have zero means of communication. The price hike was the last straw really - time to move to another provider.
