    Kinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡

  • kjgreigy
    Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 hi i live in the postcode area OL9 , for the last 3/4 months the signal has been horrendous!! Lucky if I get 1 bar of 4G and once I can make a call I’m lucky if it doesn’t disconnect or if I move it cuts off… not great when paying a fair bit for a contract! #help

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • kurtyoafc
    Kurt Andrew (@kurtyoafc) reported from Middleton, England

    There are serious mobile phone signal issues in Middleton and it needs sorting and ******* properly @O2

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

  • violetibeh
    Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

    @O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

  • FHawksworth
    Fliss Hawksworth 🐝🐝🐝 (@FHawksworth) reported

    @valhumphreys51 Unfortunately unable to see the rest of your posts because my broadband is down and my mobile provider is @O2 and they are hopeless, providing me with no wifi, hardly any signal and charging me an arm and a leg for the privilege. Sorry for passive aggression.

  • tgloughnane
    Terry (@tgloughnane) reported

    @O2 Unfortunately it’s everywhere. No particular ‘bad spots’ luckily if I’m with my wife I can hit spot off her EE network, but I really shouldn’t have to. I simply canny put up with it much longer.

  • PeteKnowles_
    Peter Knowles (@PeteKnowles_) reported

    @O2 I have been hacked, my email compromised and deleted and your customer service lines are so bad - I’m trying to submit a complaint and your website won’t even accept it stating an error - total shambles.

    So it would appear to be official. There is no problem with the @O2 signal in and around Priestfield 🙄 #Gills #ActuallyGills

    This is a serious question @O2 but why is your signal coverage so ****** shite I get better signal coverage in the Balkans for just basic cellular coverage never mind 4/5G Meanwhile here in the UK it is 💩

  • BenMyatt74
    Darksider  (@BenMyatt74) reported

    @gary_derwin @O2 5G is also appalling, iPhone shows full 5 bars of signal but nada!

    @theamazingjj_ @O2 Try reporting low signal area instead of sulking

  • RhodriD87
    Rhodri Davies (@RhodriD87) reported

    @O2 can you sort your app and website out! Won’t let me look at my upgrade and won’t allow me to chat to an advisor online! Looking like I might have to change network provider.
