    @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.

    @O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

  • SimpaticoGem
    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • eagleeyedferret
    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??

  • Dunkie5150
    Paul Dunk (@Dunkie5150) reported from Glossop, England

    @O2 your data network is utter 💩 That is all. #EOC #ImOff

    @O2 what is with no service in Manchester?! So bad and un safe!

  • GoaterBilly
    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!

  • mars_silva_
    Márcio Silva (@mars_silva_) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 just wondering about your masts in Ashton-under-Lyne which have been failing for a few days now. Data is almost never working this week, and I have no other way of accessing the internet

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • 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.

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

    As soon as my contracts up @o2 it’ll be the last day you’ll ever get any money from me been with you guys for 10 years and you kick people down when they’re on their knees.

    @Allan2111272 @O2 It was so atrocious that their own network app couldn’t work

  • 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?

    @O2 I'm trying to sign up for a SIM card online but when it goes to verify my identity with my card it doesn't work. I've used both my cards but they're not working

  • JadeNorth
    Jade North (@JadeNorth) reported

    Thanks for the update of not having signal for two days @O2 ….. been waiting for a phone call for two days and now been informed they tried to contact me. I’ve had ZERO signal for the past 24 hours and counting and no one told me. £70 a month for a load of ****

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @O2 @virginmedia @Virgin CEO Lutz Schueler Deadlock letter has now been received although it completely does not address my actual complaint and the reported resolution is factually incorrect. Just shows the total lack of respect shown to a 20 year loyal customer

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @o2 @virginmedia @Virgin CEO LUTZ SCHUELER seems only your bot accounts actually care about the customer

  • bedford_leslie

    @O2 Tesco mobile use O2 as there signal carrier ie Tesco piggy back off O2.

  • jhargie4
    john (@jhargie4) reported

    @o2 @Virgin @virginmedia CEO Lutz Schueler your organisation cannot send me my Complaint Deadlock letter yet quick enough to SMS details of upcoming events and tickets that’s available. Where is your customer care!!!!

  • NileshGThanki
    Nilesh Thanki (@NileshGThanki) reported

    Looking for resolution from @O2 been having ongoing signal and network problems since joining in December 2025. Live in EN1, Enfield. Complaint after complaint and still no resolution. Why pay for a service if we are not receiving it. Can’t make basic calls in our own home!

    @O2 I have inboxed you guys regarding my complaint can you please respond

  • Nmxx1734
    Lincs Lass (@Nmxx1734) reported

    @O2 Hi, are you having issues in the LN11 area (Louth, Lincolnshire)? The service checker says it's perfect 5G, but it really isn't! People are talking about it on the FB community pages. You can't get on banking apps, send or receive on WhatsApp or Messenger, nothing at all!

    I got tickets for today to ariana but I'm having a panic attack, I didn't realise how steep the nosebleeds section is. O2 staff said they couldn't help me. Is there anyone at all who can help? Even lower down in the nosebleeds is fine, any help would be ok 🙏 @O2 @TeamAriana
