O2 Issues Reports Near Manchester, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • SawdayJames 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?

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • J0eH0lmes 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?

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @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?

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • dobirmiah 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

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @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 devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • 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.

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

  • clare_jeffs Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They 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.

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • JMcKnighty ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • Dr_Bass Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @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.

    @SV_Perry @O2 **** i don’t have a recording 😕 but they might have? it was a LONG phonecall like 49 minutes and a bit complicated so surely the guy noted it

  • grrooves Grrooves💚 (@grrooves) reported

    @O2 Nothing network.

  • jamesr181 JamesR (@jamesr181) reported

    @cacaannex @O2 So many people are having the same issue they must realise and be getting a lot more stock at some point. I think it’s silly that you can preorder and then have to wait so long!

  • AllThat_Jazz__ AllThatJazz___ (@AllThat_Jazz__) reported

    @jsdevans @O2 @LutzSchueler Truly the worst customer experience I have ever had. Wouldn't ever use o2 again

  • Amiee_Steel Amiee Steel (@Amiee_Steel) reported

    @O2 Hi there, Is your app having issues? I go to pay my air time and says balance is 0 and won't let me pay device plan either just says I have nothing to pay 🙃

  • SosigDog Freddie (@SosigDog) reported

    @O2 Hi I signed up for the free 3 months Duolingo subscription with o2 priority. My subscription ends tomorrow but I can’t find a way to cancel it on o2 or the Duolingo iOS app or website. It says I will get charged if I don’t cancel. Please help.

  • xxjessicanxx Jess Newton (@xxjessicanxx) reported

    @O2 I have lost my SIM card please advise what I can do? Can a store replace it? #help #lostsim #urgent

  • jennytanzanian Jenny ♀ (@jennytanzanian) reported

    @O2 Terrible! Preordered only to be told my order is not part of the stock that arrived and it'll take weeks! That defeats the purpose of preordering in the first place! Bullshit nonsense @O2 . No clear timelines, customer service are useless. Why?!?

  • jonnyrb89 Jon B (@jonnyrb89) reported

    If you’re going down to Cornwall any time soon and are on @O2 - you may as well leave your phone at home. You can’t get a signal, or internet anywhere and O2’s answer to your £60-a-month plan is to ‘go and find a hotspot’. #O2

  • GunnerDZ16 BR (@GunnerDZ16) reported

    @EE you keep disappointing more and it’s sooo frustrating trying to get hold of or get a simple thing changed on my contract I’m very close in cancelling all my contract with you… I have been with @O2 for 15 years I never had a slight issues with them. you claim to be the best.
