Mark Mowbray (@MarkMowbrayNE) reported from Blyth, EnglandDoes anyone use @vodafone in the Northumberland area? Is it any good? I'm currently on @O2 but looking to switch networks as O2 are being extremely greedy with large price hikes on their already expensive network.

Craig Donnison (@craig_donnison) reported from Ashington, England@O2 I know you have a status & outage checker you're missing the point. RE O2 Priority app issue - last time it happened, you advised it was a known issue at your end also effecting other customers. I want you to thoroughly check to see if it's a known issue at your end again.

andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@2bard @intueldonsquare @northumbriapol You're right in normal circumstances, however my phone signal keeps cutting out while @O2 are upgrading to 5G, last week a man had a seizure in front of me and I was getting repeatedly disconnected from the emergency services while trying to get an ambulance.

Hugh Toner (@scoobyhugh8) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@O2 I’m in Newcastle for the weekend and could hardly get a service, keeping jumping from 1 bar on 5G onto 3G, couldn’t get into social media or online due to it buffering. What a waste of time moving to you from EE

Darren (@DarrenMorgan) reported from Washington, England@BootneckShuffle @O2 @EE Never had a problem with O2 untill I switched my DD date. They're hopeless

andrew 🎃 (@ilovefluffy) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England@O2 I was supposed to get a free upgrade every 12 months but your "problems with supply" last year meant that I didn't get my new phone for over a month after I requested it, so my refresh date is a month later, which pushes it past my annual christmas trip. It's a farce.

Marcia Bigg (@marciabigg) reported@O2 This isn't the network can get busy at times. This is you can't make a phone call to another person in Bolsover Town centre or use data at all. This has been the case for 2 years and all we get told is there's a fault, then 2 months later get told it's been fixed, when it hasn't.
