-
James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @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?
-
Violet (@violetibeh) reported 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?
-
Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England@laineyclements @O2 They’re appalling I’m going to cancel myself they are the worst mobile company I’ve ever dealt with they ignore you constantly cut you off leave you on hold zero customer service
-
Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported 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?
-

Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, EnglandHi @O2 I’m both a virgin media customer and have a pay monthly sim with O2 and i am struggling to sign up to Volt! Help!
-
Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England@O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.
-
Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England@O2 No 4G barely works! I never get through a phone call without it cutting out
-
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
-
Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, EnglandThey told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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?
-
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!
-
Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, EnglandTell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?
-
Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England@O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through
-
Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England@O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??
-
Paul Dunk (@Dunkie5150) reported from Glossop, England@O2 your data network is utter 💩 That is all. #EOC #ImOff

John Daniel 🔜 UKGE❔️ (@johndtcg) reported@O2 I have a new phone stuck in limbo, spent an hour on the phone yesterday to be told I'd get a call back. Haven't had that call. And have just had 2 of your helpline people hang up on me. I'd like my new phone
-
carol whitten (@jonesy73) reported@O2 can you tell me how I can use live Google maps or similar and get traffic updates whilst I have no available data because of your technical issues? I have been unable to use any services requiring wifi. Day two and still nothing. I presume we get a refund
-
🇬🇧 Andy🇬🇧 (@4peterborough) reportedThe service I've received from @O2 absolutely disgusting trying to sort an issue and speaking to someone it was very difficult to understand which makes it more frustrating one that talk too fast with a heavy accent.
-
Mike Roberts (@MikeRoberts68) reported@O2 I have come to the conclusion that O2 make their complaints process and Customer Service contact process so difficult (almost impossible) in the hope that most Customers just give up. Pretty sure the Customer Service staff are trained to just hang up on Customers! Appalling!
-
Nick A (@mobynick303) reported@O2 hi, I have been reporting for the last 3 weeks of connectivity issues ( ie no connectivity) in the NG4 area and still keeps coming back as 'no issue'- there is no obvious way of escalating this, how do I go on?
-
Josephine (Josie) Tapper (@TapperJosephine) reported@O2 almost a month without data inside my home due to a mast issue. It’s been down at least 6 months out of the last 12. Your coverage is also non-existent in Exeter. It’s 2026 for goodness sake.
-
Andrea Onder (@Anna59509) reported@O2 I’ve been rejected by your Portsmouth store (they refused to even look at my ID), your hotline hangs up on me, the same for Facebook team. Your website says 'go to store' for a lost PAYG SIM, but no one will help. Very shocked by this service. Fix this! #O2UK #CustomerService
-
wendy devyea 🌸 (@Wendy_jDarling) reported@O2 please see DMs as this is urgent .a customer service agent has accidently disabled my sim
-
Julie McNaughton (@jumcna) reported@O2 Still waiting 02. Fault raised on 26 November. Complaint raised 1 Feb . No resolution. No compensation. What now?
-
Lilith Tuylor (@lilith15016) reported@O2 'Sorry you feel that way' is a dismissal, and shows that O2 have no real interest in customer care. IF O2 introduce real customer care, let me know. I will not be waiting.
