    @chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor

  • 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

  • FarmeryHilary Hilary Farmery (@FarmeryHilary) reported

    @O2 do you specialise in being indifferent? Or is it incompetent? I wish I had never left @EE

  • s9pke Handy Hunks (@s9pke) reported

    @O2 FairPlay some of the worst customer service I received this morning. The call centre lady “well I work from home don’t I, then hung up” lots of companies starting to swing this way. Time to cancel contracts and go PAYG

  • SeeUnext2sday There is always Bismuth ☣️ (@SeeUnext2sday) reported

    @O2 Soooo the issues people are facing aren’t masts there are issues with many peoples phones today… unable to make calls/texts etc so get on it.

  • yilank yilank™ (@yilank) reported

    @O2 Please do not buy sim cards from this dishonest company. they made a 15 percent hike this month, because of the air pollution (they said it would not exceed 4.3 percent) I have never seen such a fraudulent (dodgy) company in my entire life.

  • DomBumpy Dom Gaffney (@DomBumpy) reported

    @O2 had no network connection for 2 days now in the M26 area. I'm on transplant list so need my phone wherever I am and that is mainly at home in this area. It could literally could be a life saver anytime if it actually worked.

  • BenjiLee53 Benji 🦦🦆🐄🦔🐸 🐐🐢 (@BenjiLee53) reported

    Why is @O2 so **** for internet?

  • NFaccini Dr NatashaAwais-Dean (@NFaccini) reported

    @O2 Have sent postcode. WiFi calling doesn’t allow for text messages when you are trying to get verification messages for work related tasks. Nor does it help all our residents. Really you should be refunding the entire month for all affected residents and work to reinstate asap
