    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

  • sonnisamosa

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • SawdayJames
    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.

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

  • SteveVanDang
    Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

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

    @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

    @O2 has less than 20 mins to sort their app out. Come on guys, this is so bad

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why 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

  • tinytimwild
    Victor Wild (@tinytimwild) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 just to give Jake at o2 Oldham store a review as I don’t know where else to do it! First class service even with technological failing in the store helped my upgrade on 01/05/2021 helped me upgrade to iPhone 12pro max best customer service I’ve received from o2 thanks Jake

    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

  • gerwyn

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

    @RedRosesRugby @O2 But when #LW9 has had a bad day or things haven’t gone well, we can use your experience as an example of how things go wrong and you bounce back. Thank for providing inspiration Mo.

  • JadeNorth
    Jade North (@JadeNorth) reported

    @O2 I can never get through to speak to anyone online. My bill after this years increase (the highest of all phone companies) is ridiculous. I want to change to sim only or something cheaper, but I always get told that’s not an option I can only upgrade my phone. I don’t want to

    @O2 what is going on with your network and service levels! I have not been able to use mobile data (calls or texts) for 6 days now. After an endless loop with your automated call centre I finally managed to speak to someone on Tuesday morning who assured me the issues would be…

    @BenInRushcliffe I used o2 switch up the other month. The phone got lost in the post, they tried to charge me £900. Several phone calls and its still on going @O2 customer service is based abroad and it's terrible

  • SoccerSportvas
    Selahattin Karaman (@SoccerSportvas) reported

    I regret switching to O2. Despite showing full 5G signal across London, my internet barely works. Pages won’t load, WhatsApp just keeps buffering, and basic browsing is almost impossible. I’ve contacted customer support multiple times. @O2

  • Timmsantiques
    S & S Timms Antiques (@Timmsantiques) reported

    @O2 are there intermittent issues with your data services today? I changed tariffs yesterday, taking a new contract and now today my data signal has been pretty much non existent for most of the day! Coincidence or not?

  • T_Northernbloke
    Andrew Harbot-Taylor (@T_Northernbloke) reported

    @Farmeronecow @O2 That's why I left. Well that and when I complained about the signal I got told I needed to buy land and get planning permission myself and then they would look at putting one up. Moved back to @EE and normal service resumes.

  • Happyengland79
    Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported

    And still not working! @O2 about time you replaced the mast for a new one that actually works ffs. Not a good advert for you when I have to use my EE hotspot to run my O2 phone. #evidenceforombudsman
