  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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 Brace yourself for a string of promises that will never actually materialise...

  • 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😡

  • 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...

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

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

  • 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 !!!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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..

  • 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 🌱

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

    @o2 the worst company for customer service

    @AlliBasker @O2 That really annoying and frustrating had similar issues but was able to make payment with the help from @Underweb_Backups on Instagram send massage to them for help and thank me later

  • David_Myint David Myint (@David_Myint) reported

    @o2 been in the USA since Saturday night. Have had no roaming data since l arrived. Been chatting to your support service since I arrived and all I can say is they have been useless. Appalling service and can't believe how bad your product is. Imagine not being able to roam.

  • fazeswayrio fazeswayrio (@fazeswayrio) reported

    @O2 @AlliBasker Cor text or call on giffgaff so Whts the problem

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @O2 @KEVSON1974 There you go, no commitment!! I have numerous messages over the last 4 months saying ‘we are addressing the issue’ means nothing

  • FionaTyler10 Fiona Tyler (@FionaTyler10) reported

    @O2 I've not been able to use my data for 3 days. I've been to Derby, Sheffield and close to Worksop. The only explanation I've found is a mast down in my area. I'm curious how large my area actually is now. Unable to find any other way of contacting O2 without writing a letter.

  • icumedical1 Phil D (@icumedical1) reported

    If you have time to waste why not try O2 and Virgin Volt upgrade. Multicalls to both firms customer services and still no benefit @O2 @virginmedia

  • Jermaine_ManUtd Jαу (@Jermaine_ManUtd) reported

    @O2 @Staceygarland90 ow is a week an acceptable time to be ignored without any support? I still haven’t received the DM you said I would receive ASAP days ago

  • Deep_diver_uk Paul (@Deep_diver_uk) reported

    @O2 Really - you have right of access so shouldn’t take this long, also appalling customer service - as promised a call back. So not in line with your customer service charter - I would like to raise formal complaint unless we get a reply as promised.

  • TirEoghainMcEl1 Tir Eoghain Mc Elroy (@TirEoghainMcEl1) reported

    @O2 Give it to me for the frustration caused by your network issues
