    @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

    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?

    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!

    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

  • 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?

    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

    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 hi O2! Is there any sort of time scale on O2 satellite being available for iPhones? Very bored of my O2 signal failing regularly, but enjoy the O2 benefits so looking at getting a back up eSIM for when signal is patchy. But if satellite will be available very soon I’ll wait

  • rebeccaann1989

    @O2 hi is there a reason why I keep getting asked to link a virgin media account to use my o2 account when all I want to do is use my rewards towards my data bundle next month, neither of the apps will just let me use my phone number to login and use my rewards

  • IanCockerill2

    @O2 I just arrived in France, and am unable to use my phone AGAIN, despite your text about “Welcome to France” and informing me about usage! I am unable to contact your support team, I am very angry. Please contact me and sort my problem. I pay you good money for no service!

    fiona cozens (@cozens_fio58099) reported

    @grahamstyle @SkyNews @O2 Good luck. Don’t think they prioritise helping customers, including those who have been loyal for decades. They take your money and couldn’t care less that you can’t access their not fit for purpose service.

  • iancharris
    Ian (@iancharris) reported

    @HarrietSergeant @O2 I wonder if it is something to do with their systems? I am with @tescomobile and they piggyback on the O2 network and it is much more difficult than it used to be to top up.

  • cryptoesim
    CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported

    @ungodlywheesa @O2 Oh no! What phone are you using? Most phones from 2019+ support eSIMs — even some budget ones. Drop your model and we'll check for you!

  • horanfthrry
    rebecca 🪩 (@horanfthrry) reported

    @O2 hello, I am looking at purchasing a new sim through my blue light discount. My mum is currently locked out of her account after purchasing a new sim herself. I have recently bought a new phone & have virgin media volt benefits, will I encounter any issues?

  • cryptoesim
    CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported

    @ungodlywheesa @O2 What phone are you using? Most phones from the last 5+ years support eSIMs! If yours does, you could be set up in under 2 minutes — no store visit, no paperwork, no SIM tray needed.

    @xlilyyrobinson @O2 They’re the biggest pile of **** going. I’ve had issues for a week and recieved two replies from then and not one has been to get the issue sorted. I’ve reported them now. They’re an absolute disgusting disgrace
