    @o2 the worst company for customer service

  • 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😡

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !!!

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

    @O2 why is the mobile data signal so poor in Preston and the surrounding areas?!? Got a text to say you were improving the sigbal in our area and ever since its veen worse! #no4gor3g #20GBwasted

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

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

  • 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 😡😡

  • 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..

  • 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...

  • 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?

  • 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

  • McavoyJuliemc33 Julie McAvoy (@McavoyJuliemc33) reported from Preston, England

    @O2 worst phone company I have ever dealt with !!!!!

  • 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 🌱

  • 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.

  • SamAspinall95 Sam (@SamAspinall95) reported from Leyland, England

    @O2 would you be able to Message me in regards to my bill, can’t seem to ring customer service just disconnects

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

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

  • martalnpetty Marta Petty (@martalnpetty) reported

    @O2 There is only one day left for me to activate. Given you appear to have sent me a bad link, I assume you will extend the activation period for 7 days from when you provide me with a link that works? 2/2

  • TonyParrack Tony Parrack (@TonyParrack) reported

    @O2 my new iPhone (installed yesterday) stopped working today. Apparently an o2 prob but@‘can’t fix it for 3 days’. Seriously? #O2problems. #02service

    @VengeanceDaemon @O2 How many times does O2 Priority go offline, seems to be frequent and issue-laden just like the actual network… anyway, not working for me or my parents. No, Nero coffee today then!

  • tescomobile Tesco Mobile (@tescomobile) reported

    @Lets_Talk_2Dayy @O2 Apologies again. If no issues are reported on the link provided in my previous tweet and this impacts you everywhere you go, it will be a SIM or phone fault. Please try restarting the phone and pop the SIM card out/in to see if you can reconnect - Callum
