  Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported 27 seconds ago 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.

  James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported 2 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @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.

  @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

  @angelak2271 @O2 I've clicked the link they gave me and it said there's a mast nearby that's not working. But it seems to be a problem across the country

  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

  @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 yet more poor signal on your network in my area, really fed up now.

  @O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

  Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported 15 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  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.

  Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported 19 minutes ago from Ramsbottom, England

  Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

• 
  Jacqueline (@JacquiDarling) reported 23 minutes ago from Bolton, England

  @O2 known issue affecting quality of calls and 4G reduced to 3 G. Spoke with your Helpdesk who are aware of issue in BL3 area but no fix date. Why am i paying for a service i cant use. Been told to use wifi or hotspot. Been happening fir weeks now.

• 
  Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported 25 minutes ago from Strines, England

  @O2 disappointing that o2 treat us like **** after 20 years as both a personal and business customer. Seems they’re happy for us to walk away. Clueless customer service. No attempt to help us.

  Amy Rowland (@aflanagancarter) reported 37 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 what is with no service in Manchester?! So bad and un safe!

• 
  Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported 38 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with

• 
  Keally (@kea11y) reported 38 minutes ago 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.

  lucy (@lucyolix) reported 41 minutes ago from Salford, England

  @O2 is the signal down in Salford? Data isn’t working and the signal is either none or just one

•

  @biteme_brighton @O2 @leemc87 It’s awful in Manchester

  Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported 46 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  Kinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡

  @l3479s @O2 Where I live our network masts haven't been working for almost a year - no answer for it whatsoever

  @O2 @IanColley007 That still didn't help me

• 
  Shaun (@LfcShaunjudge) reported 7 minutes ago

  @O2 I will call and open a complaint... Wait the standard 8 weeks then got Ofcom...

• 
  Jake Moore (@JakeMooreUK) reported 9 minutes ago

  @O2 But it always says no network issues. The problem is that O2 states on iPhones that there’s 4G and 5G on offer but it often doesn’t work. It would actually be more helpful if it just admitted it.

• 
  thedogger (@thedogger31) reported 9 minutes ago

  @O2 why is it if I go to uswitch and change my number I can get a great sim only deal yet as an existing customer o2 offer rubbish deals

• 
  Mimi Farid (@MimiFarid) reported 10 minutes ago

  @O2 I’m absolutely getting fed up with the new app, every time, I tried to use it keeps opening website for virgin media. Sends you an email, and, you’ve to click on it. Other companies aren’t like that. The previous version was absolutely amazing. Fix it immediately!

• 
  Devs (@Destr0yT0Create) reported 11 minutes ago

  @O2 your blue Mondays has been down pretty much the entire day, r u guys going to fix it?

• 
  Jake Moore (@JakeMooreUK) reported 12 minutes ago

  @O2 Other networks do not have this problem.

• 
  Paul Ormerod (@PaulOrmerod5) reported 18 minutes ago

  Stay well clear of of @O2 there deals look good on paper but if it comes to even the slightest issue you will be passed around a team of people who couldn’t tie a shoe lace let alone deal with a loyal customer who has been with them since 2012….absolute joke

• 
  Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported 19 minutes ago

  @waynetuckwell @O2 Luckily, they send me a text just before they cut off all my 7 lines threatening legal action Inc debt recovery, I use the link in the email to pay all in one go. It's literally the only way I can pay my bills unless I spend 2hrs on the phone. It's ******* shockingly bad @Ofcom

  @debra_w_hughes @O2 Same issue; @ThomXTech on X resolved it.
