  • SteveVanDang Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • grime_vintage ForzaTottenham (@grime_vintage) reported

    O2 has got SO **** what’s going on with the data speed @o2 used to be rapid

  • optimismsflames Number 6 (@optimismsflames) reported

    @O2 Little or no service on 7 business SIM for 3 weeks after ‘essential maintenance’ was started on our nearest mast. Online fault checker next to useless, customer service who can only put in requests to the network team which never get actioned. When will this be fixed?

  • the_sarge1984 Chris Carter (@the_sarge1984) reported

    I like Southport, I really do, but the phone signal our here is really poor on @O2. Can hardly get enough signal strength to send a tweet Can't watch vids or see pics Youtube is a no go. 😔

  • molmister Mol (@molmister) reported

    @O2 I pay nearly £40 a month for my phone and airtime, yet I can’t get my data in half of the places I go in Torpoint and it’s even worse when I go to Plymouth, absolutely shocking how poor the data is

  • timoFK TimoFK (@timoFK) reported

    @O2 Absolutely no signal at home or in the nearby area, neither corporate or personal mobiles. This is unacceptable. @O2 is not providing an acceptable telecoms provider service and fulfilment of your airtime contractual obligations. Paying for no service yet you take money monthly!

  • geordiejohn79 John Speight (@geordiejohn79) reported

    @O2 It's on every device we have through O2. Virgin media has always been crap to be honest and that's why I *** rid and went to SKY. I will be running all contracts down and moving to SKY

  • EmmacaslinBrown Emma Brown (@EmmacaslinBrown) reported

    @O2 trying to make a complaint and it is absolutely impossible. live chat for 30 mins who directed me to the call center. 6 different people over 40 mins and have to explain each time. The last one had terrible reception, promised to call and didn’t. Who can help- ofcom?

  • Danford2013 John McCarthy (@Danford2013) reported from Whickham, England

    @O2 I was spammed. Then defrauded. Went to O2 shop and reported issue. Told Fraud Dept would contact within 2 days. Three further calls to O2 (2O2) and one month later still no Fraud contact and no resolution. Today notice to take another payment. @O2 any chance of sorting?

  • jonadevitt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Jona Devitt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@jonadevitt) reported

    @RichWXM @wxmsmith @O2 My word signal pre match abs half time is non existent. Usually get a flurry of notifications 10 mins in!

  • ricky10yid Ricky (@ricky10yid) reported

    @grime_vintage @O2 Mate I wondered what ******** was gong on last couple weeks. Doing my nut in. Jokers
