  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

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

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • kingpak93 Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported from Glossop, England

    @O2 Have changed phones and need a micro sim card. Have PAYG with credit so want to keep same number and credit I have. Ordered a sim card online a week ago and nothing has arrived. Can you help please? New phone sat unused as can’t put standard size sim card in it.

  • 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

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

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

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

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

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • 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 device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Dan05858044 Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

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

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • tadhg50 Tim O'Ryan (@tadhg50) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 Yep-didn’t work and then tried via help centre- still no luck . I’ll DM the number

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

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

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • SaintlyChild 🏆Auld Yin🏆 (@SaintlyChild) reported

    @O2 Just had a fraudulent call from someone trying to pay me compensation from your poor customer service via LemFi app. What are you doing about this?

  • teejwxm TJ (@teejwxm) reported

    Hi @O2. Why have I got absolutely no signal? Not even 1 bar. Your service gets worse every day.

  • teamhill888 Lee Hill 8️⃣ (@teamhill888) reported

    @O2 We are just being passed around - hence the ofcom complaint and now being charged for new contract and phone - store can’t help either - cannot believe that no one in o2 can help

  • teejwxm TJ (@teejwxm) reported

    @bennybroadbean @O2 They never do anything, particularly in rural areas. They go on about using wifi calling, but that only works if you actually have internet, are at home or not in a powercut.

  • teejwxm TJ (@teejwxm) reported

    @O2 Yes, I’ll just call you with no signal 🙄

  • NoCroppedOK 🔥Cropped🔥🇩🇪 (@NoCroppedOK) reported

    @O2 pls don't outsource your service anymore and add an option for ds lite and dual stack for private customers and maybe we can talk about being sorry again

  • GTouple GreenTouple (@GTouple) reported

    @O2 Yeh I ported a number over, and it was fully functioning other than I just couldn't receive calls. It has started working now. the customer service agent wasn't really responding to me and just kept saying it would take up to 24 hours, so it wasn't very reassuring.

  • SEAMAC_VALET SEA-MAC VALET (@SEAMAC_VALET) reported

    @O2 NO I haven't. And I am not that in place with your customer service either at O2. It is not existent from online to phone calls to instore. I used to sing your praises. It has gotten to the stage that I will not be renewing my contract in November and I have better conversation

  • simonexmccabe simone🖤 (@simonexmccabe) reported

    @O2 Hii, I took out a new contract with yous yesterday and I clicked to get the Disney plus for 6 months for free added but it’s not sent me anything, can yous help please

  • NFFC69Will William Smith (@NFFC69Will) reported

    @O2 Not interested at all in looking into the matter to see where the failings in your customer service are happening? What’s happened at O2 you used to be the best service and provider. Just a “oh sorry bye”. You have a 1.2 rating on trustpilot for a reason, Vodafone has 4.6
