  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • LukeAMarsden
    Luke Marsden (@LukeAMarsden) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 are there any issues currently in the Oldham area? Can't connect to the internet

  • Shelo_Mrs
    🌸Shelo🌸 (@Shelo_Mrs) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 why is it IMPOSSIBLE to speak yo somebody about your crappy service & non existent network????? £50 per month for NO SERVICE AT ALL for almost 12 months ! That's £600 shocking company!!

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • JMcKnighty
    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • elgobsucram
    Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

    @O2 keep ok here O2 network

    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

  • jasonpeachey1

    What is goin on with @O2 phone signal constantly dropping an 4G\5G practically non existent!!! 😳

    @biteme_brighton @O2 @leemc87 It’s awful in Manchester

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @O2 beware of what you get told and sold by o2, they’ve ripped us off in a big way. Customer loyalty counts for nothing. After over 20 years with them, we can’t wait to go elsewhere. As unhelpful as it gets

    @EuropeanBob7 @O2 Gone right down hill o2, used to be decent. ******* hard work now.

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • 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

  • CurryInTurry
    DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • SteveVanDang
    Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @O2 which idiot authorises sending out texts at 4 o’clock in the morning to update me about my phone order? Get real.The person needs punching or sacking or both!

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

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

  • DaveWrigh
    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

    @O2 Jumping from My O2 to web browser to email and back to My O2. That is an annoying experience and a stupid design just to top up. It should be all in the app, not 3 apps.

  • chrishughesuk
    chris (@chrishughesuk) reported

    @O2 got my son an Apple Watch as a gift and customer services say you won’t enable an airtime sim as it wasn’t purchased from o2. Is this right??

  • TeresaBourne
    Teresa Bourne (@TeresaBourne) reported

    @O2 Any idea when we will get a decent signal in ME 10? Virgin engineer had to go for a 10 minute walk yesterday to get enough signal to transfer our router, paying every month and having to rely on landline is ridiculous.

  • a1_bloke
    A1_bloke (@a1_bloke) reported

    @O2 trying to view O2 bills is too hard! click on bill link in email enter login and password go back to email to click on new link close new window and return to old window if you closed old window you have to start again @OfCom should require Telcos to attach bill to emails

  • duncangreeneye
    Duncan Butterfield (@duncangreeneye) reported

    @O2 Can I get a signal update for Darlington please? Been a month now, I'm self employed & it's been a disaster here. Been a customer of yours since 1998.

  • snekkie_iain
    Iain (@snekkie_iain) reported

    @O2 what's up with your service today, even worse than usual? KT2 area and calls dropping out due to crap signal.

  • csljohnkirby
    John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported

    Why does @O2 make it so hard to be a good customer? Yesterday, due to terrible service, and for them going to my bank for a DD I did not owe, I received compensation of £50. Today, they threatened to cut my services and report me to Debt Collection Agencies. They sent me SMS and an email, yet apparently, the £30 compensation they offered today, I can not have because I had the maximum compensation yesterday for another matter.

    @naomimilward41 @O2 They had the whole day to fix it!!!!!

  • The_real_Jambo_
    Jambo (@The_real_Jambo_) reported

    @O2 @KerZE87 O2 has went downhill since they merged with Virgin media. I constantly have issues logging into myo2 app because I use a different email address for my o2 and virgin media accounts. Constantly asked to link the accounts which I do then I cant log into the apps.

  • me_marifi
    Marifi (@me_marifi) reported

    . @virginmedia I’m also locked out of my account for weeks due to something going wrong with merging @O2 and Virginmedia acoints. Escalated several times and once again today. Your support options knowledge articles, and support paths for this issue are shocking - HELP
