    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 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😡

    @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.

    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

    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.

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

    @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

  • 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?

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

    @carolyn_keenan @O2 @peterkay_co_uk Go directly through gigs and tours. Some more dates added later in 2023. I've just manged 2 get 2 for Sept 2023 in Manchester no problem.

    @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

    @AJPNEFC @PNEPhil @O2 @pnefc Problem is so many people in one place trying to access at the same time

  • 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.

  • StevePickupTM
    Stephen Pickup (@StevePickupTM) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    20 years with @O2 and this will be my last contract with them come September the staff in the Blackburn store need a lesson in salesmanship when sat in front of a customer looking down at their phone texting is not a great way of convincing people to stay with the network

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

  • 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!

    @O2 You are an absolute disgrace of a company. You have lost a long and supposedly valued customer. I am calling you out for what you are, a shoddy, scam organisation. Utterly disgraceful bunch of charlatans.

    @O2 you gonna fix the visual voicemail text bug or just let it sit there. You charge enough money and don't spend it on better signal surely you can put a bit towards fixing bugs.
