O2 Issues Reports Near Manchester, England
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Manchester and nearby locations:
-
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.
-
Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England@O2 No 4G barely works! I never get through a phone call without it cutting out
-
Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England@laineyclements @O2 They’re appalling I’m going to cancel myself they are the worst mobile company I’ve ever dealt with they ignore you constantly cut you off leave you on hold zero customer service
-
Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England@O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?
-
🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Bolton, England@O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone
-
Márcio Silva (@mars_silva_) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England@O2 just wondering about your masts in Ashton-under-Lyne which have been failing for a few days now. Data is almost never working this week, and I have no other way of accessing the internet
-
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
-
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
-
Rob 🇪🇺🏴 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, EnglandKinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡
-
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.
-
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
-
Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported from Strines, England@O2 disappointing that o2 treat us like **** after 20 years as both a personal and business customer. Seems they’re happy for us to walk away. Clueless customer service. No attempt to help us.

DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England@AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

Linds (@lindsdaniels) reported from Manchester, EnglandThis Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

Luke Marsden (@LukeAMarsden) reported from Oldham, England@O2 are there any issues currently in the Oldham area? Can't connect to the internet
-
Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, EnglandThey told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.
