  @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 👍

  Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported 25 minutes ago from Urmston, England

  @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  @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.

  @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!

• 
  Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported 47 minutes ago from Salford, England

  @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

• 
  Violet (@violetibeh) reported 49 minutes ago 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 I have DM'd about it, called about it and emailed about it. Nothings changed in 4 months except where before I could use the app, now it's not working too I have now 6 lines that I cannot pay unless I sit on the phone to your call centre for hours Shambolic to what you used to be

• 
  Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported 8 minutes ago

  @O2 @silly_balls Linked to the same issue I've been telling you about for months. TOO MANY REDIRECTS IN MYO2 AUTHENTICATION.

• 
  ♡ (@baeIuxe) reported 8 minutes ago

  @O2 your live chat support is abysmal i have never had the displeasure of contacting something that useless before! and none of your numbers work so i can’t call anyone

• 
  Tsering Passang (@tsamtruk) reported 9 minutes ago

  @O2 still doesn’t get it. I’ve got nothing to do with Sony or any third parties. No purchases ever made. Period. O2 must stop this scam. #GDPR issue, I suspect. Better deal this immediately. You lost a customer.

  Nathan Jarvis (@NathanJarvisMD) reported 19 minutes ago

  @o2 why is your phone coverage so awful? Been like this for over a year. Hardly any internet or phone connectivity. In central Manchester now - can’t connect onto the internet with 4G or 5G. Simply not good enough. Had to find WiFi to post this

• 
  Paul Clements (@paulclements) reported 21 minutes ago

  @O2 I’d like to buy a data bolt-on, but can’t get through on the phone (poor signal, I expect). Can you help?

• 
  Joe Maw (@MawJoe) reported 22 minutes ago

  @O2 your service has been terrible since you amalgamated with Virgin I’ve had my security locked on my account despite several phone calls promising to unlock. This was caused by believe it or not, me wanting to spend money with o2z. Since then I’ve been charged twice for a bill

• 
  🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reported 25 minutes ago
