    @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

  • 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

  • TwoEyedGovernor Sherwin Clark-Assoon (@TwoEyedGovernor) reported from Manchester, 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.

  • MatthewDixon32 Matthew Dixon (@MatthewDixon32) reported

    @EnglandRugby @O2 Just….we have world class back row players and Itoje is a world class second row. So of course we go worst of both worlds and play a ridiculous line-up with zero inventiveness. At least Argentina will probably be entertaining.

  • barclaytweets Lewis (@barclaytweets) reported

    Honestly, @O2 I’ve been with @giffgaff for eight years and had no issues ever. I move to O2 after being persuaded and have had nothing but issues for the first week and it’s the usual story of long telephone waits and not getting help. Terrible service. #regret

  • FPLJazz01 FPL Jazz (@FPLJazz01) reported

    @JoPatterson2509 @O2 Thanks! Mine has been on emergency calls Tuesday! They won’t be able to text as I won’t get them, as I have zero network. Fingers crossed it starts to work soon! Thanks again

  • Josh_Clay94 Josh Clay. (@Josh_Clay94) reported

    ‘Give us another five working days.’ @O2 apparently, it takes nearly two months to resolve an issue. Also.. this was raised in 2020. 🫠

  • ElegantGoon 🪐🌟 (@ElegantGoon) reported

    @O2 keep cutting my lines off due to no communication within there company, every month I have to speak to them about the same issues. Looks like ima have to terminate my contract

  • wine_oasis Truffles 🇪🇺🇲🇺 🇺🇦 (@wine_oasis) reported

    @O2 once again 6xtimes your service has gone down so I cannot make/receive calls Barnet EN5

  • Aaron_F320 Aaron (@Aaron_F320) reported

    O2 signal at Gatwick Airport is the absolute worse. I never get 4G and reception to try and make calls is really patchy. Time to change network I think @O2

  • GraysonStevdio Steve Grayson (@GraysonStevdio) reported

    @Hanrealistic @O2 My account was having exactly these problem but i got fixed via @Wapfix on Instagram.

  • craigyoung79 craig young (@craigyoung79) reported

    @O2 having issues with no data on 4G & 5G in built up areas. Major issue. Yet every time I try to use the “chat” system on your app it says “sorry we are very busy please try again later “ and ends the convo. I wonder why your so busy 🧐

  • twright1989 Tom Wright (@twright1989) reported

    @AlastairLiddia1 @EnglandRugby @O2 I agree with the logic. But I think it's a poor way to look at selection. Once again picking on what some players can't do to fit some preset criteria. It's the same reasons they kick; the metrics say that's how you win.
