  • leannt1984 Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @O2 I’m both a virgin media customer and have a pay monthly sim with O2 and i am struggling to sign up to Volt! Help!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • Dan05858044 Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • tadhg50 Tim O'Ryan (@tadhg50) reported from Oldham, England

  • Dunkie5150 Paul Dunk (@Dunkie5150) reported from Glossop, England

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

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

  • kingpak93 Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported from Glossop, England

    @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.

  • kjgreigy Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported from Oldham, England

    @O2 No 4G barely works! I never get through a phone call without it cutting out

  • Mrs_G_Bowen Just Gem 💙 (@Mrs_G_Bowen) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

  • violetibeh 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?

  • Kleeee_ Klee (@Kleeee_) reported

    @O2 Would leave you on the 4th day if I could, still waiting for my statements 3 months later. Customer services are useless

  • DaddyPobbin Boo Diddley Dobbin 👻 🦇 🎃 (@DaddyPobbin) reported

    @LilyPinkBaker @O2 Simply your money and there really shouldn't be an issue with it being immediately refunded. But it takes hounding them. Which they know most ppl will give up.

  • scottgibbens Scott Gibbens (@scottgibbens) reported

    @O2 you have been no help at all. My mother in law has dementia and has lost her phone. To help you insist on a password she has set up. You need to train your staff on dementia. Will be cancelling the contract ASAP. Disgusting service.

  • Katrina13514426 Katrina Chamberlain (@Katrina13514426) reported

    @O2 Makes me laugh really how you sell phones on contract then a couple of months later make your apps uncompattible with the handset! I'd understand if it was an old phone but they aren't. Counting down to when my contracts over! Would help if your customer service team understood!

  • shazzacon Shaz (@shazzacon) reported

    @O2 having trouble logging into my 02 to pay 2 bills can you help ?

  • jackandrewx 𝔧𝔞𝔠𝔨 (@jackandrewx) reported

    @O2 is there an issue with signal at the minute? I have no connection, at all?

  • emmaandgirls48 Emma (@emmaandgirls48) reported

    @James_chapman77 @O2 Same! "Already a existing customer and can't upgrade yet" so infuriating!

  • alexspencer1878 Alex Spencer (@alexspencer1878) reported

    @O2 Id love to switch to a different network. Cause o2 is crap and never have any signal.

  • Nikp_97 Nik (@Nikp_97) reported

    @O2 iPhone 14 pro - no issues with the device itself. Software is up to date.

  • Mike_Justice Michael Justice (@Mike_Justice) reported

    @jackandrewx @O2 I'm getting the same issue trying to login to o2 website. I'm assuming there's an issue with their server. It keeps saying the DNS Server might be unavailable?
