  • 23_dannyp Dannyp#23 (@23_dannyp) reported from Lea Town, England

    @o2 network is non existent in the Clifton village area. Hope this gets sorted soon as this is the 4th day that people at work can’t use their phones properly

  • mcainey88 McAiney Ⓜ️ (@mcainey88) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 no signal or Internet here in preston. Is service down?

  • LeeJLewis leejlewis (@LeeJLewis) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 It's not my postcode, it's one I'm regularly in where the issue seems to be consistent..

  • AlexHamer1 Alex Hamer (@AlexHamer1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 why has my 4G mysteriously stopped working just as my 2 year contract expires? I’m currently on a rolling contract at reduced rate. Seems very odd it would all of a sudden cut out completely?

  • davepakey71 Dave Pakeman (@davepakey71) reported from Burscough, England

    @o2 the worst company for customer service

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 At least it was on 3G. Most of the time it falls back to 2G round here. Plenty of boilerplate "we're always striving to improve the network" and "stay tuned" from @O2 but no actual improvement. At this point I'm sure there won't be any except in affluent areas down south.

  • mgsevs sevs66 (@mgsevs) reported from Kirkham, England

    @O2 If the sites down how tickets already on resale over £250 Another example of f@ck the public & as long as we get our money who cares who buys them, ordinary punters or touts Disgraceful, @peterkay_co_uk should step in seeing as the strapline is low prices in these difficult times

  • 6danicalifornia Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Horwich, England

    I really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 And of course on 3G you do get a reasonable signal but no actual data throughput...

  • davepakey71 Dave Pakeman (@davepakey71) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 I’d be winner if I could have 4g & a full signal

  • annieclegg_ annie (@annieclegg_) reported from Preston, England

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported from Lea Town, England

    @psychomania666 @O2 Brace yourself for a string of promises that will never actually materialise...

  • AdnyNichols Andy Nichols (@AdnyNichols) reported from Horwich, England

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 what’s going on with your network around the Bb2 area of blackburn? Had poor signal for several days but according to you you’ve either fixed it or there is no issues. #rubbish #needsignal

  • AngharadParry3 Angharad Thorp (@AngharadParry3) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 where do I even start? What a waste of space time money and oxygen this company is. Jokers. Still waiting for a reply to complaint 2 weeks ago. 4 months (less a couple of days) I’ve been waiting for you to update my name following marriage.

  • AlfMyers Alf Myers (@AlfMyers) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 How can I stop receiving letters from you for someone how has never lived at my address? After 4 attempts of using your help desk. I've had 4 different responses and I'm still getting mail.

  • Baynesi83 bay (@Baynesi83) reported from Mellor, England

    @NadineDorries @virginmedia @O2 Here she is again that glam Nan spouting bollocks that is instantly shot down by ordinary people who seem to actually know facts. She really needs to shut up or just read factual information instead of coming across as an incompetent muppet.

    Hey @O2 I’m having an issue sorting my payment method. I’ve changed my card details on the app however bank is advising you’re still using the old card details. Can you sort this?

  • forgottenman_ The Forgotten Man (@forgottenman_) reported

    @O2 I have been through the helpdesk and we have reissued the sim but i'm still getting my number spoofed. So there is no point in private messaging you as this is an issue of public concern that I think we are all surprised is even happening. so new hashtag #CLIspoofing

  • zarazaib1 Zara (@zarazaib1) reported

    @O2 don't take me wrong I love O2, I've been with you guys since 2007... but since I've come back to London, the 4G is really bad and the WIFI doesn't work in my room so I survive on 4G

  • tim_bibelots Tim Fielding (@tim_bibelots) reported

    Hey @o2, what’s going on with your 4G speed? Mine is painfully slow, struggling to load sites and videos buffering for ages. Trying to get people to switch to 5G?!

  • DB10007 G (@DB10007) reported

    @O2 @EE @ThreeUK can I ask why myself, friends and colleagues, who all use you have had their signal reduced to 1 bar over the last 12 months in the ch43 area?
