  • miss_scw Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 absolutely sick of your rubbish signal in my house. every time I complain NOTHING is done. can’t wait to leave your joke of a network. I live n greater Manchester and I get better signal at my dad’s house in rural Wales 🙃

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

  • Julio_Afonso522 Julio Afonso 🇲🇿 🇵🇹 🇪🇺🇨🇭 (@Julio_Afonso522) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

  • BlennerK Kathryn Blennerhassett (@BlennerK) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 is there a problem with the network? My calls aren’t going through.

  • mars_silva_ Márcio Silva (@mars_silva_) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @hollie3000 @O2 It's a shame, when I joined O2 great signal, no issues. Sadly now zero signal again today and customer service is none existent.

  • aniagabb ANIA GABB (@aniagabb) reported

    @O2 Am absolutely appalled by your service. I’ve just had my bill come through, which is completely wrong after speaking to someone only on Monday! After being a loyal customer I want to leave when my contract runs out.

  • sarlpar Sarah (@sarlpar) reported from Henllys, Wales

    @O2 your coverage in the Cwmbran area NP44 is shocking, no end of people on O2 post about the poor signal especially around the Llanyrafon and Henllys/TyCanol area. When we ask about if there are any signal issues we’re told there’s not, Vodafone, EE and 3 work prefect. 😖

  • kmehra8 Kamal Mehra (@kmehra8) reported

    @O2 I am experiencing network issues. Is that something others are experiencing too ? I am not able to go online. Tried restarting and also turning airplane mode on and off

  • AmyLeighLucy LaurienA (@AmyLeighLucy) reported

    @O2 I’m having trouble opening a link on priority to book the Gatwick lounge access, please help!

  • honeybouboule Antoine (@honeybouboule) reported

    Hi @O2 what are these ridiculous credit requirements to get a sim-only plan with you ?! Never been rejected ever, want to get a £8 pcm plan (my current one is £38) and yet you refuse my application ?! I'm not a risky customer at all, and I might as well go to your concurrents.

  • AJ041987 AJC ⚒️ (@AJ041987) reported

    @O2 @love_prezzo More to the point, why are they looking to eat it upside down? Why is the second holding it in a fold but from the side of the pizza? Pizza etiquette here is outrageous, momma mia

  • vicky456 Vicky Brown (@vicky456) reported

    @O2 dm’d you as someone at your company has disconnected my SIM card! I asked for help for bad coverage at home and I now have a simless phone!

  • CharlesCairns2 Charles Cairns (@CharlesCairns2) reported

    @O2 @O2 very disappointed with the serviceordered a new phone for my daughters bday this morning thru the app paid the upfront cost and the deposit £120 all in and it wouldn’t let me process it at the end but yous did take my money, spoke to 8 diff people and no one can help
