    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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    haha, just had an (obviously scam) phone call from someone who claimed to be from @O2 … when they asked how the service was and I said it was poor, they hung up

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

  • kjgreigy
    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

  • 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?

    @O2 Have changed phones and need a micro sim card. Have PAYG with credit so want to keep same number and credit I have. Ordered a sim card online a week ago and nothing has arrived. Can you help please? New phone sat unused as can’t put standard size sim card in it.

  • kea11y
    Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

  • RJakesEU
    Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • JonnyGravel

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

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England

    @O2 beware of what you get told and sold by o2, they’ve ripped us off in a big way. Customer loyalty counts for nothing. After over 20 years with them, we can’t wait to go elsewhere. As unhelpful as it gets

    @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!

    Adam 'Toast' Taylor (@burnt__toast_) reported

    @O2 my contract was changed last week to sim only as I don’t want an upgrade yet, but since then I’ve had limited signal for calls and no 4G/5G! I need this sorted asap! I can’t log to the app because it says I’ve been locked out and can’t always receive calls.

  • AkuaMandy_
    IntentionalMandyy! (@AkuaMandy_) reported

    @ALittleLaw @O2 They are also sending me insane. I've collectively spent over 6hours on the phone to them! And not a solution in sight! I've cancelled my direct debit. Not a penny from me until it's sorted!

    Greg (@Bunchofmanleyg1) reported

    @O2 since your app has changed things have been diabolical . I need to make payments never missed one and you’re treating me over a small amount though your system isn’t processing payments . I’ve tried three cards and PayPal and you’ve blocked my upgrade !

  • lozmach
    LT🌷 (@lozmach) reported

    @O2 not only that, but the signal is shocking. Can’t get signal anywhere, never mind internet. 10+ years of being a customer for this.

  • tsamtruk
    Tsering Passang (@tsamtruk) reported

    @O2 still doesn’t get it. I’ve got nothing to do with Sony or any third parties. No purchases ever made. Period. O2 must stop this scam. #GDPR issue, I suspect. Better deal this immediately. You lost a customer.

  • JohnLoughran_
    John Loughran (@JohnLoughran_) reported

    Fair play to @O2 Made the move from giving them £48 a month to £20 on a sim only Signal and internet is now totally dogshite. For record I’ve been in multiple cities before you ask me to check. Bandits

    Eevee (@Eeevee12345) reported

    @O2 Hi, it looks like you guys recently cut off my spare SIM/phone number with no warning due to the 3G switch-off. I really need this number back as it’s linked to many personal accounts so I need it for authentication purposes, hasn’t been reassigned yet, can you please help?
