    @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

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

    @O2 disappointing that o2 treat us like **** after 20 years as both a personal and business customer. Seems they’re happy for us to walk away. Clueless customer service. No attempt to help us.

  • Gsd1Omara Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout

  • 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

  • gerwyn Gerwyn (@gerwyn) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • ShanRebec94 Shannon (@ShanRebec94) reported from Sale, England

    @chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor

  • Josh_Deegan Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England

    @BigLouComedy @O2 100% Gonna try the general sale on Saturday. Don't hold much hope but you never know

  • 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

  • AtlasSailing 🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @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???

  • kellyvmckeown Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 when are you gonna allow people to get back into the priority app this tickets thing has been a right **** show

  • ThomasEdmund71 Tom Richardson (@ThomasEdmund71) reported

    @O2 Fixed the issue!! You’re having a laugh. It’s no different - not one bar of signal. I live in a large housing estate just outside Maidstone. I’ve had better signal in the middle of nowhere in Cape Wrath.

  • trolly_dolly6 sally (@trolly_dolly6) reported

    @O2 my phone is under warranty until the end of this year it’s not working properly and been told 3 weeks for repair without a replacement because of Covid! Not great when I’ve been a customer for many years - I know it’s your policy but feel phone should be replaced! 😡

  • karlschelts karl schelts (@karlschelts) reported

    @O2 the o2 shop check out is broken.

  • Cazvw99 Carmel (@Cazvw99) reported
