    @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

    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

    @chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor

    @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 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

    @O2 is your payment gateway down? Had several calls to pay my bill, but can’t seem to process and payment on My O2 app

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

    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

    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!

    @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

  • MarQusRomelle
    MarQus Romelle (@MarQusRomelle) reported

    Good morning @O2. I’ve been trying to pay my bill through the app but in its current state, it’s an abysmal broken mess; the payment portal doesn’t load properly, Apple Pay is broken make it impossible to do anything in its current state. Has something happened?

  • Emma_K__
    Emma (@Emma_K__) reported

    @O2 Hello. There is never any signal around Edgeley Road, SK3. Every week I go there my phone goes on to emergency calls only and is happening to all of my friends phones too. Could this be logged as a fault? Or the coverage map be updated

  • JRY1998__
    Jen (@JRY1998__) reported

    @Calh48 @mhewson_MCH @O2 Omg same. Once I head towards my local town centre there’s no signal

  • wanna_be_dj
    Matty M (@wanna_be_dj) reported

    @mhewson_MCH @O2 And their service has got worse.

  • MarQusRomelle
    MarQus Romelle (@MarQusRomelle) reported

    @O2 Yes I confirm. I seriously hope o2 are able to solve this issue because it shouldn’t be made so difficult, jumping through hoops and a bunch of loading screens with portal errors, to do something as simple as making a payment; it’s incredibly anti-consumer.
