  • atlr Alexander Robinson (@atlr) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi. Yes, she is unable to relay the code to me. I was also told that, in order to cancel the account entirely, I’d also have to relay a code. I registered a security word when I set the account up. I’ve provided this. But I am still unable to admin/run my account. This is crazy.

  • NayJDennis Nay 🍉 (@NayJDennis) reported from Partington, England

    @JD0NOHUE @O2 Yep, and as you know he doesn’t have the best manners, so you can only imagine how bad it was

  • LastMinuteLeese Leese 🇬🇧 (@LastMinuteLeese) reported from Mossley, England

    @O2 It's always the same at work. Terrible service in a lot of places in Oldham.

  • AbiClarey Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @BattyeB @EE I'm afraid I can't recommend @O2 even if they have good coverage where you are... you can't get any service from them. Been trying to get through for an hour this time #notfitforourpose

  • mrusmanhussain USMΛN HUSSΛIN (@mrusmanhussain) reported from Manchester, England

    Pathetic service at @O2 moving networks over 20 years

  • malllmallll Mario Alghatta (@malllmallll) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

  • miss_scw Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 absolutely sick of your rubbish signal in my house. every time I complain NOTHING is done. can’t wait to leave your joke of a network. I live n greater Manchester and I get better signal at my dad’s house in rural Wales 🙃

  • dtackley Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

  • lucyolix lucy (@lucyolix) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 is the signal down in Salford? Data isn’t working and the signal is either none or just one

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @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

  • DAbrahamNewman Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

  • Julio_Afonso522 Julio Afonso 🇲🇿 🇵🇹 🇪🇺🇨🇭 (@Julio_Afonso522) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • _SonOfTheDesert Kaiser Soothsays (@_SonOfTheDesert) reported

    @O2 Data is unusable where I am (Milan). As stated, I get 3G but can’t use it, all apps say phone is not connected to network. Irony is my wife is with @tescomobile and is getting 5G. Crossed into Switzerland today and got 5G halfway up a mountain but can’t use phone in Milan. 🤷

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @O2 @giffgaff Yes, they match exactly. This has been checked by me, by two separate Cust serves advisors and then by the online sales team. They couldnt see a problem so promised call back. All lied, nobody tried to call which is why I had to contact you again, and go through it a 2nd time.

  • paul_trombone Paul Emmett (@paul_trombone) reported

    Really helpful that @O2 has been texting my account info to a different number and when I don’t respond they block my service, and moan at me when I call support! Cheers, that’s helpful!

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported

    @iD_Mobile_UK @O2 @giffgaff I don't know what the glitch is, it just fails to process. Your own cust service team don't know either - I tried twice both, times they promised a call back because they were unable to identify the issue. Both times you failed to contact me so why should I stick with you?

  • JamRuler89 James (@JamRuler89) reported

    @O2 Barely getting 3G while my wife is getting 5G on another network. Why can’t O2 improve in Lanarkshire?

  • rockandrollmatt Matt Sweeney (@rockandrollmatt) reported

    @O2 I need some support accessing an offer on Priority

  • AmieBirkett94 Amie Birkett (@AmieBirkett94) reported

    @O2 are the shittest phone network with the WORST customer service ever. A loyal customer for over 10 years and I have had the same issue going on for over 5 months!!!

  • Jon_Col Jonathan Colquitt (@Jon_Col) reported

    @O2 is there a reason your customers get no signal anywhere? brand new iPhone, no signal anywhere. Everyone else on other networks get plenty, time to stop paying the monthly bill I think.

  • badassscotsman BigYin (@badassscotsman) reported

    WELCOME TO @O2 where DM,S NEVER ANSWERED. Phone calls never answered or they hang up on you and divert your call to @virginmedia????. They provided you with the same copy@paste excuses...

  • WaynePT7746 WB(P) (@WaynePT7746) reported

    @O2 Hi, any chance of a response to the DMs regarding MyO2/PAYG issues? Thanks
