  ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported 2 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  As soon as my contracts up @o2 it’ll be the last day you’ll ever get any money from me been with you guys for 10 years and you kick people down when they’re on their knees.

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

• 
  Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported 31 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @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.

  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!

• 
  Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported 39 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  @O2 keep ok here O2 network

  Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported 53 minutes ago 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

  @O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

  Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  Amelia Eberhardt-Armstrong (@SoSoaksy) reported 6 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 They are reducing signal strength to save electricity costs. They even boast about how they reduce energy consumption by switching equipment off/running in lower power. Esp in non peak periods such as overnight. Doesn’t seem to be subject to regulatory measures

• 
  Rod Clarke (@Arfurgolf) reported 6 minutes ago

  @O2 why are your customer services refusing to replace a brand new 16 day old iPhone 17 . It’s faulty and they are making life very difficult. Worst customer care ever.

• 
  Zack Ahmed (@zckmed) reported 7 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 Signal in the UK sucks!

• 
  Sideways Tree (@EX23LCL) reported 11 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Wow it’s almost like the number of people using the network has increased dramatically but the infrastructure isn’t being built to keep up?

• 
  Felix Lowe (@saddleblaze) reported 12 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE It’s quite a leap to blame your poor phone reception on cyclists, Tom. Be better.

• 
  Shar 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@sharlewis58) reported 14 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 That's why I left them unreservedly, an utter arse to try to interact. One system not talking to the other, no human to help sort. Mid contract hikes. Went to Sky - no regrets, easy xfer & lower bills

• 
  Will Goodhand (@GoodhandWill) reported 18 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 It also seems to be getting worse - v poor on 5G often

• 
  GingaGill💙👩🏻‍🎓😷  (@GingaGill) reported 18 minutes ago

  @SarahLudford @virginmedia @O2 Yep…sadly the service has declined since the two companies merged. They blocked my account for weeks for ‘ security reasons’. ( I had changed pw & looking for new deals) No one seemed unable to unblock it. Took several phone calls/DM’s/ emails etc.

• 
  Tom Morgan (@TomMorgan83) reported 21 minutes ago

  @O2 Your store cannot help either - please supply me an email contact with whom I can make a complaint formally

• 
  Ｍｏｒｇａｎ 🇾🇪💫 (@Morgan7MJ) reported 23 minutes ago

  Signal just gets worse and worse in the UK, in Chester train station atm and what used to work not too bad isn’t working at all and I’m on 4G full bars and nothing is loading or working. It’s pretty bad considering a place like Chester @O2
