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

  • 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

  • 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...

  • Natalie_Sharpp Natalie Sharp 🇬🇧🇳🇬 🌱🌻 (@Natalie_Sharpp) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 Can somebody help me I’m trying to get a live chat up and nothing is working! My phone won’t make any calls it’s just silent when it rings and it’s the same when somebody tries ringing me !!!

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

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

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

    @O2 Hi i changed my contract with you last Wednesday and have been waiting for a delivery order reference KMM2134901340I15977L0KM. It has not arrived yet can you help please.

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

    @O2 last week had to threaten to leave after 15years as a customer to get 100gb for £20 now I see your adverts for the deal😡

  • DollyBakes Rachel Burns (@DollyBakes) reported from Horwich, England

    @The_Lady_Sybil @phat_cupcake @O2 Hopefully someone can help! X

  • 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.

  • 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

  • sammyjayne182 Sam Dugdale (@sammyjayne182) reported from Stalmine, England

    Only me would buy a new sim for a network provider who doesn’t seem to have signal in my house 🙈 @O2 doesn’t seem to do rural addresses 🌱

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

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

  • Filthy_McTurner Filthy_McTurner (@Filthy_McTurner) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 Next time is next year, I barred from Caffe Nero after a 'incident' over Summer.

  • DollyBakes Rachel Burns (@DollyBakes) reported from Horwich, England

    @The_Lady_Sybil @phat_cupcake @O2 Same! I never keep them x

  • SourEnvy Elliot ⚽️🏈🎮 (@SourEnvy) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 I was just advised it would arrive after my phone. I'll sort the claim out tonight, thanks for the help. 👍🏻

  • PhillyG_83 Philip Gordon (@PhillyG_83) reported from Southport, England

    @O2 your customer service is awful. Staff hanging up on me all day. Need a senior manager to look into my issue!

  • Treaders1984 Michael Treadwell (@Treaders1984) reported from Penwortham, England

    @TheO2 @O2 Does the O2 priority blue lounge still have a cloakroom and if so will they store a bag/ luggage for a gig and then can I collect at the end or does this have to go in the storage facility outside? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

  • sayash98 mayer (@sayash98) reported

    Stayed with @O2 again because of how easy their customer service was… I’m now 45mins in, been offered about 8 different contracts and all I want to do is switch my phone number 🥲🥲

  • stemark01 Ste (@stemark01) reported

    Anyone else here experiencing really terrible Internet from @virginmedia ? customer service is a joke. It seems to have gotten worse since they partnered with @O2

  • danrobborobson Robbo (@danrobborobson) reported

    @O2 Fixing the faulty mast that’s ‘not your fault it’s broken’ would be decent, no signal for 12 months around our home area #excellentservice #o2notrecommended
