  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @EE Hi JT. Not yet I’m focussed on having my £742 back from @O2 then I will have a look and start a contract. The customer service and signal is appalling from O2 so I’m looking forward to changing to a reputable service provider.

  • _chris_a Chris (@_chris_a) reported from Manchester, England

    As if the network congestion issues in many parts of the country weren't bad enough @O2 have excelled themselves with dire customer service agents. I'm named on my husband's account but one agent shouted at me you only deal with the account holder and then hung up.

  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 I have asked you guys to sort it repeatedly and it’s never fixed. Your advice was ‘use 3g’ but even that doesn’t work. :( I have been with you guys for 14 years and im disappointed you haven’t fixed my problem

  • pathookway patricia hookway (@pathookway) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 please can you help not happy at all

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    Day 2 of Trying to get @O2 to understand what domestic abuse and financial abuse is! @MarkEvansO2 Mark I think you need to pull your finger out your ass and look at the state of your company your running! All your contact centres are run by shitty capita! Your a horrible company

  • franclayton58 Fran Clayton (@franclayton58) reported from Cheadle Hulme, England

    @O2 incompetent at sorting out a query despite our attempts#gdpr issue set up more than one direct debit without authority

  • yannickmcosta Yannick McCabe-Costa (@yannickmcosta) reported from Stockport, England

    @NatWest_Help @Scott_Helme Sure. Problem is there is no MSISDN associated to this text, it's just a string with "BankAlert"so without help from @O2 to trace the originator, not much to do. Same with calls from unallocated numbers. You could contact @Equinix / Telecity to whom that IP range is allocated.

  • Hoiskiez Matt (@Hoiskiez) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @Chris_Stroud @O2 I really don’t blame you! I’ll be doing the same! Always had problems with o2 in Manchester ... I have no idea why!

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 as a victim of domestic abuse I would thought O2 would be more understanding and helping customers who experienced financial abuse as well if domestic abuse! I haven’t received any of that from you! Horrible nasty network! #Poorcustomerservice @bbcthree @MarkEvansO2

  • bolgamy sarcastic bastard (@bolgamy) reported from Manchester, England

    For months I have been complaining about @O2 network. Central Manchester, Bolton Town Centre, Liverpool Town Centre, Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc... I pay over £300 for that privilege. And now you want to reducing the customer loyalty discount...this customer won’t be loyal!!

  • michelle2570 Michelle❤#TeamChester❤#TeamLinkinPark (@michelle2570) reported from Walkden, England

    @chrisstyles44 @O2 I honestly feel truly sorry for all the 02 customers who haven't heard anything about their new mobile phone delivery, that should arrive today! It's so UNFAIR! The 02 Purchase Team have totally messed up! They never checked the phones' actually stocks for reordering in time! 😠

  • 305WA12 WESLEY D WOOLFALL ⭐⭐⭐🌟🌟 (@305WA12) reported from Lymm, England

    I seem at times the network not found in Parts in Lymm head out EE not Work ok at times around Warrington in it not weather what make Mobiles that away @EE @O2 it Good you both work side of each over =)) looking forward to 5G

  • kml1959 Kevin Lewis (@kml1959) reported from Stockport, England

    You just have to love @O2 one of the most grasping dishonest companies on the planet...they overcharge my business by £80. (their own error) .never apologise but expect you to pay the bill in full and then wait for a credit...what a joke outfit, cancelling all contracts Monday

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @carleyjones1 @O2 No! I never use all my data or minutes. The bill for May- which comes out on 11th June, was only £38 something. I checked the app and I’m up to date. There is no reason to take such a large amount. I can’t even talk after having my tonsils out, it’s a pain in the arse x

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

  • thejimirving Jim Irving (@thejimirving) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh, of course, I’m in the middle of a major city, it makes sense that my @O2 service would be completely useless.

  • Hoiskiez Matt (@Hoiskiez) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @Chris_Stroud @O2 Oh god please don’t start me on this!! I’m glad it’s not just me that has issues! It is totally shocking & they never have an answer on how and when they are going to make it work! Terrible! I call them #NO2

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • RichieH37745130 Richie Hall (@RichieH37745130) reported from Leeds, England

    @virginmedia @O2 Signal normal drops out due to signals from other routers would and can cloud your signal. The intelligent WiFi of the HUB 3.0 will switch between 2.4ghz and 5ghz wnd there is where you will experience the drop connection. My recommendation is a pin hole reset. 👍

  • BledarKoci4 Bledar Koci (@BledarKoci4) reported

    @virginmedia @O2 This company is disorganised,calls are transferred between Indian call centres who haven’t got clue what is going on,appalling costumer service.

  • MartinNorden2 Martin Norden (@MartinNorden2) reported

    So the email has arrived announcing that @O2 and @virginmedia have joined forces, why am I not impressed? Well O2 couldn’t get my phone set up properly when I joined and Virgin Media have just replied to a complaint I raised last year. This merger doesn’t fill me with confidence.

  • snippetsofem em (@snippetsofem) reported

    @RichieH37745130 @virginmedia @O2 I have done that already which makes it better. But my calls still drop out a lot! I have virgin media internet too which goes down quite a bit in my area, but we are limited for other providers

  • sepezz Rich 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@sepezz) reported

    @O2 Hi can you tell me what the rate is for calling an 00800 number from the UK on your network?

  • sarahmariex Sarah Jolley ♔ (@sarahmariex) reported

    @s_onward @O2 @virginmedia I’m sorry to hear that!! Personally I find VM customer service absolutely shocking but I’ve always found o2 very helpful. I just hope this merge doesn’t change things. 🤞🏼 the problem is this merge will all be about money and not us the customers.

  • RichieH37745130 Richie Hall (@RichieH37745130) reported from Leeds, England

    @snippetsofem @virginmedia @O2 Depending on your mobile, why not activate WiFi calling on your device where you can make calls through your virgin media router. Such google for you device and add WiFi calling and go from there to get signal.

  • RichieH37745130 Richie Hall (@RichieH37745130) reported

    @snippetsofem @virginmedia @O2 Okay I would sugguest is login to the router and change the channel of the 2.4ghz and 5ghz. There is app called WiFi analyser. It will scan networks (access points) around you. Other routers on the same channel the app will show you your best channel to be on. Trust me it works

  • Olithewally Oli G (@Olithewally) reported

    @O2 I am absolutely shocked by your customer service today! I have been with you for over 10 years and 3 different service agents have either hung on me or transferred me to a different department that has nothing to do with my query. Your customer care was always top notch!?!

  • helenc19 Helen Chester Bain (@helenc19) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia As soon as my contract is up then I’ll be leaving. You’ve made pals with the company with the worst customer service. I left them for that reason. I’ll be saying cheerio to you now too. Time to shop around!
