    Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, England

    Hi @O2 we’ve been in Blackpool most of the day and have little or no signal until we were leaving. Do you have a known issue, a lack of cell towers or something? We’ve been half a dozen times this year and it’s always the same on 3 different phones.

    @o2 the worst company for customer service

    @saoirse_22 @SamsungUK @O2 @virginmedia It appears to be a security certificate issue but I can actually access the certificate details on my phone. So, stumped but learned how to do something I didn't know I didn't know... #JoHari

    @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.

  • 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?

  • laticsian
    Ian Gee (@laticsian) reported from Chorley, England

    @O2 You've had a ****** stinker there haven't you. Website down all day for your #O2Priority. Gigs and Tours have allowed people to buy their tickets while your shitshow has allowed 1000's to miss out on tickets. Bravo!

  • 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.

    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

  • Hurstchris2102
    Christopher Hurst (@Hurstchris2102) reported from Leyland, England

    Absolute shambles from @O2 with the pre sale of Peter Kay tickets. I managed to get some through gigs & tours but no checks so could have bought them even if I wasn't an O2 customer. Pointless having a pre sale if its open to all #peterkay #O2Priority

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

  • 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. 👍🏻

  • 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..

  • 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 😡😡

    @O2 I have just sent you a dm as I need help

  • xxxxminniex
    Minnie (@xxxxminniex) reported

    @Christo44671940 @O2 Thank you, O2 did they put a £5 cap on but it still continued to charge lots over this. Not sure how or why but it’s bad because they told her it was her sending picture messages off the WiFi and didn’t tell her it’s a scam. They even have an link to check premium numbers on the bill so I’m almost positive the call handlers knew it wasn’t my mum doing this herself and it says received texts and not ones she had sent!

  • AberdeenVeteran
    Mr A (@AberdeenVeteran) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 I was visiting family in Warrington (pop 216,705) last week . O2 coverage so poor and in the spots of 5G near to the M62 motorway hotel I was staying , the data speed of 5G was 7.8 mb/s when I tested it.

  • VictoriaMh
    Victoria Hamilton (@VictoriaMh) reported

    Hi @O2, I’ve been a customer for over 20 years and I’m trying to do something as simple as upgrade my phone. Today I’ve experienced doc upload, payment, app login, chat, form failures, spent 60 minutes on hold today and still no resolution. Awful customer service. Unacceptable!

  • AJosephine_xoxo

    One reason I miss working for @O2 which i never thought till now is when samsung release new tech, cos I loved seeing it first!!!

    @kokeshimum @O2 02 are ****, we’ve moved to Smarty this week as it happens, just fed up with the terrible service and constant price rises.

  • Me10Andy
    ME10Andy (@Me10Andy) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 I think a lot of the issue is contention ratios in the UK. O2 has the coverage, but far too many people on it....not because O2 is particularly cheap, but the other main networks are now incredibly expensive.

    Don't shoot the messenger (@Lovethyneighb0) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 I read the first two sentences and thought you were talking about drugs. Bed-time for me. Hope your service improves.

    @kokeshimum @O2 02 is awful. Joined 3 network years ago. Miles better
