    @O2 hi, my mobile date isn’t working and hasn’t been for some hours. No issues in area, and everything looks normal, please help 🥱

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

    @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.

  • eagleeyedferret

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • sonnisamosa

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

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

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

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

  • CurryInTurry
    DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • 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 😕

  • TwoEyedGovernor
    Sherwin Clark-Assoon (@TwoEyedGovernor) reported from Manchester, England

    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.

  • ronak_malde
    Ronnie (@ronak_malde) reported

    @O2 I am writing to urgently seek clarification regarding a refund that was due to be credited to my bank account. The refund was initiated on May 9, 2026, and I was informed that the funds would arrive within 3-5 business days. As of today, the money has still not been returned to my account. My experience with your customer service channels thus far has been incredibly frustrating. The primary reason I chose to migrate to another carrier was due to poor service, and this current delay only confirms that I made the right decision. Given the lack of flexibility and the difficulties I have faced, I can no longer recommend your services to others. If you feel that you have it in your heart to give me back my refund, please reach out. If not, have a meal at Wagamamas on me!

    @O2 why am I being refused an upgrade after 14 year of being a loyal customer with 2 contracts!! Disgusting way to treat loyal customers I’ll be going to Sky as it’s shocking! Not once has my bill even been paid late

    @O2 You have succeeded in making a customer finally give up thinking that O2 actually cares about customers.

  • daviddunninguk
    DavidDunninguk (@daviddunninguk) reported

    @O2 I got in. There is a problem in York. The signal has been bad for weeks. To be honest it’s just what you expect from o2. As I said was wondering what the point of this account is if you can’t tell me . Anyway all beyond your control so thanks for at least replying

  • squall_loire
    Squall Loire (@squall_loire) reported

    Hey @O2 - If I send you a written complaint, the correct thing to do is to reply in writing. You should not be trying to call me about it.

  • Highland_connor
    Connor (@Highland_connor) reported

    I have a case file, the response was to download mytello as your network apparently don’t allow any international calls. I’ll be joining @O2 tomorrow. 10 plus years with sky… cheers 🙄
