    @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

    @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 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • 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.

  • miss_scw
    Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

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

    Yet again @O2 your mast is not working! You're a ******* embarrassment of a company, ripping people off because you're not providing the service you are being paid for. Trampy behaviour at it's finest. #evidenceforombudsman

    @O2 O2 make it almost impossible to access the site. Poor signal, no customer care, and customers are tolerated, not welcome.

    Laura (@FairyCake1983) reported

    @O2 hi again @o2, does anyone actually answer your DM’s please? Been waiting since Monday for Kerrie from resolutions to call me back as promised, can someone call me in her absence to actually resolve my ongoing issue - now over 3 months after raising it?

  • pb1982
    PB1982 (@pb1982) reported

    Purchased an Apple Watch SE (3rd Generation) directly from @O2 14 days ago for my son’s 10th birthday… still no cellular. Endless calls/escalations no callbacks, no resolution. Extremely poor service. If not resolved immediately, I will escalate to the @CommsOmbudsman @Ofcom .
