    @O2 No 4G barely works! I never get through a phone call without it cutting out

  • kea11y Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

    @O2 yet more poor signal on your network in my area, really fed up now.

  • 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

  • BlennerK Kathryn Blennerhassett (@BlennerK) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 is there a problem with the network? My calls aren’t going through.

  • leannt1984 Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, England

  • 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

  • JonHurst15 ⚽️ Jon BWFC Hurst ⚽️ (@JonHurst15) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

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

    @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

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IPWillC William Charlesworth (@IPWillC) reported

    We’re now on 3rd SIM card and 12th day without network for my heavily pregnant wife who is unable to work from home for almost 2 weeks now. Despite @O2 reassuring tweet yesterday, she’s failed again to have any resolution and is now told it will be further 5 days.

  • ChopperLamb Andy Lamb (@ChopperLamb) reported

    @O2 Maybe I should take this up with Ombudsman, you’re not providing a service I am paying for.Yes, I understand you can’t guarantee a fault free service, but there is a known fault, with no fix time and has been like that for nearly a month.There must be an SLA associated with it.

  • stephen25710074 stephen brennan (@stephen25710074) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 @virginmedia wish to god I had never signed up to your company. Your support has been shocking.

  • SonaliShah Sonali Shah 📺📻 (@SonaliShah) reported

    @O2 help! My swim swap hasn’t worked

  • ChopperLamb Andy Lamb (@ChopperLamb) reported

    @O2 O2 doesn’t offer SMS via WiFi. I rely on this for a voluntary role I do. You’re charging me for a service I’m not receiving and to exit this you’re going charge me again.

  • Zeeee090 Zee (@Zeeee090) reported

    @O2 After being a customer for over 10 years. I ask for a little help with my bill as I’ve lost my job due to long term illness and you can’t help me. This is absolutely disgraceful from O2.

  • Emz1978uk Emzzzzz (@Emz1978uk) reported

    @flossonline @O2 I’ve been a loyal customer since bt cellnet. Get a free coffee from Caffè nero and post it on social media. You may get a surprise. It was that easy.

  • xoxanderxo existential crisis boi (@xoxanderxo) reported

    @O2 i don’t know what the hell you’re doing to the masts in llanelli, south wales but it’s coming into 3 days without any service. this really isn’t good enough

  • evilvicks Inimitable Mrs M (@evilvicks) reported

    @O2 just wanted to say a massive thank you to Priscilla in the Cambridge Lion Yard shop yesterday for helping me sort of my upgrade. She was friendly and funny and I walked out with exactly what I wanted! Excellent customer service
