-
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?

Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England@O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout
-
~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, EnglandReally 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
-
Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England@O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

Kerry Owen (@KerryOw80160432) reported from Westhoughton, England@O2 hi guys, I've not had a signal for 2 weeks, got a sick relative and a signal, please help!! Post code BL52LF

Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, EnglandWhy 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
-

Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, EnglandPee'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.

Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England@O2 hi i live in the postcode area OL9 , for the last 3/4 months the signal has been horrendous!! Lucky if I get 1 bar of 4G and once I can make a call I’m lucky if it doesn’t disconnect or if I move it cuts off… not great when paying a fair bit for a contract! #help

Nilesh Thanki (@NileshGThanki) reportedLooking 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!
-
Mark Grist (@markgrist) reported@O2 You have to be the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure dealing with. I cancelled my account with in June, & am still getting billed. I never get a response if i email, I’ve sent a letter 6 weeks ago with no response, I’m not holding my breath for any kind of reply.
-
David Holdsworth (@holds32039) reported@TakeThatClouds @O2 Bought phone outright. Monthly SIM. If SIM goes wrong cancel contract and get new one. 10 days in and I’ve used 0.85Gb. WTF are people using 60Gb on?
-
Liesl_ (@_lliesl_) reported@jmellling1895 @O2 @davehpayne That's very interesting. I have had problems for months with the O2 app, periodically not letting me log in. Won't let me upgrade my tariff. When I tried to submit a complaint it failed Call centre suggesting I was the problem. I'm leaving them now. I have had enough.

Lauren Turner (@BabyfaceLau) reportedAnyone else’s signal been absolute 💩 on @o2 recently?!
