  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 9 hours after you reported it fixed (again). O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks

  • Cheadle Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England

    @whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves

  • charlll18x Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Dunno what’s worse your “priority” or signal @O2

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

  • auspices richard (@auspices) reported from Birmingham, England

    anyone else I know have @O2 as a mobile phone network? I may as well not have a phone it’s straight up awful coverage

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 After spending 6 hours trying to get hold of customer services, I ended up driving (and paying for parking) to go to one of your shops to get a sim swap. This apparently the only to get service working. Not the best of starts.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 why does the local B90 4AJ mast go faulty EVERY week. 6 weeks in a row now, we get no service until it is repaired. You need better repair engineers as their repairs do not even last a week!!!

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 can you stop advising people to "reset network settings" when your network has problems. This didn't fix the problem with your network and unfortunately wipes out all WiFi and Bluetooth settings, which then need manually setting up again. Not good advice at all.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 working like clockwork? It goes faulty every week. "O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.

  • Adventure_Rach 🎢👠 Adventure Rachel 🎢👠 (She/Her) (@Adventure_Rach) reported from Perton, England

    @O2 sorry correct tag now!! 13 years+ with three and no real discount for loyalty and pushy chat op trying to get me to have a S22! Nah not a hope! #TeamPixel ftw! I hope @O2 will treat me well

  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the masts around Birmingham ( B11 ) as I’m sick of not bloody signal / data . £25 I think I’m do a refund !

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @o2. Like clockwork every week O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Sorry, a phone mast close to you isn't working as well as we would expect Our engineers are carrying out some checks to investigate issues in this area...

  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 @jimswanstonlive That crap answer does not improve your **** network . How about Birmingham B12 again utter Shite signal ! Guess what I know the local mast is down but it has been ever since I have been with you !

  • mfrdrums Mickey Richards (@mfrdrums) reported

    @O2 I have spent 2 hours on the phone to you and the last guy hung up! Your first operative just transferred me to Samsung! I had a long conversation with them and they have concluded that the issue is 100% with O2 . Yet non of your advisers seem to know anything about wifi calling.

  • TimPBreden Tim Breden (@TimPBreden) reported from Arundel, England

    Oh my @O2 this is shameful customer service, new iPhone 12 arrives Thu a.m. & wasn’t working, told need to wait 24 hrs for SIM to activate. 24 hrs later not working, told phone barred, no reason given, wait 24 hrs, phone not working. Now Sat & told block hasn’t been removed, WOW

  • dig_magee Anthony Magee (@dig_magee) reported

    Don't bother recycling your phone in an upgrade as a valued customer. My device 12mth old - reduced from £331 to £62. I challenged it no response after being promised. @O2 evidently making its money now from scamming honest customers. Order num 3106810 if you want to sort it @O2

  • Richard97324518 Richard Hardy (@Richard97324518) reported

    @O2 Hello, signed up for a new contract which was miss sold to me as there is no phone!!! Get me out of this contract! Been on the phone for 2 hours to be hung up on twice!!! Not impressed!!! Customer service absolutely non existent!. So disappointed, was excited started out new!

  • RachelRainbow Rachel Rainbow (@RachelRainbow) reported

    @O2 why is it impossible to talk to a person on your customer service line 15 calls and only twice have i got to a person and both times been disconnected 😡😡

  • Jadeeeyy09 jade (@Jadeeeyy09) reported

    @O2 can’t get a hold of anyone to speak about my bill? Clicking on support just takes me in a loop, ridiculous.

  • CraigLindley Craig Lindley Olney (@CraigLindley) reported

    @O2 Absolutely shocking service happening right now! On hold and passed between 4 advisors and not one of them prepared to take ownership of a simple request to transfer ownership from one member of the family to another. A shocking sales ploy to prevent you leaving @02 1hr35min

  • ToxicHGV HGVJoker™ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (@ToxicHGV) reported

    @Colin10971 @O2 I had a business contract with o2 years ago... never really had a problem with them

  • derektwilson Derek Wilson (@derektwilson) reported

    @O2 Hi guys. I can't seem to get into my MyO2 account, and I never receive the code it sends. I only use my number for emergencies, so maybe I've been deactivated due to non-usage? Can you help? Thank you.

  • Hannah98banana2 Hannah Plumley💙 (@Hannah98banana2) reported

    @O2 just received a suspicious text from some one pretending to be you can you help me
