    @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

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

    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

  • 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

    @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?

  • dtackley
    Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

    Victor Charlie (@VC30475) reported

    Brilliant from @o2. Called them to complain about the poor network signal of late and was told I need a replacement SIM as a start (when their coverage map shows an issue). Now what small signal i had is gone as they have made my current SIM inactive. Good stuff, top drawer O2

    Every other week @O2 tells me they’re improving the network in my area and every time it mysteriously gets worse. Weird

  • andycomfort
    Andy Comfort (@andycomfort) reported

    @daviddunninguk @O2 No signal in much of Beverley. Poor in parts of central Hull and I’m on 2 bars of signal in Barton-upon-Humber. I’ve been with them since they were Cellnet when O2 was just dioxygen.

  • serchbloc
    SERCHBLOC (@serchbloc) reported

    @O2 mobile data coverage is absolute ******* pants. The service is getting worse and worse. Sporadic connection. Hindley, Platt Bridge basically is a ******* dead zone. Crock of ****

  • GunnerScott86
    NorthBankScott (@GunnerScott86) reported

    @O2 Oh no this was different. Everytime I spoke he put me on mute. When I asked him to relay what I had said he couldn’t tell me. He was putting me on mute and not listening. Your entire service has been absolutely shocking since the merge with Virgin. Can’t even get signal

  • Mimie_13
    Jemima Jane (@Mimie_13) reported

    @O2 I checked the map before adding and all the areas seem to be apparently strong in connection. But I thought you’re supposed to see a satellite symbol when the signal drops but nothing appears and I get E signal or just low connection.
