    Karen Greig (@kjgreigy) reported 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

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

    @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

    @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.

    @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?

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

    @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

  • 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

  • J0eH0lmes
    Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @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?

    @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!

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

    @O2 which idiot authorises sending out texts at 4 o’clock in the morning to update me about my phone order? Get real.The person needs punching or sacking or both!

    @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?

  • FreemanIan
    Ian freeman (@FreemanIan) reported

    @O2 I left O2 mid January having paid £61 in December, phone calls after phone calls and each time I was told a manager would call, never did, in the end I was going to go to the regulator.

  • askthedood
    KevyD (@askthedood) reported

    Seems @O2 you’ve broken the fairly ok ish My O2 app as the poorly integrated webpage integration when you go to make a payment, rather than built in as before, isn’t working properly. It doesn’t link multiple accounts to outstanding balance (still) and Apple Pay doesn’t work.

  • Sheena81

    @O2 hello, I've lost my phone can you help please?

  • o_sheilagh
    Sheilagh O'Gorman (@o_sheilagh) reported

    @arokorol @O2 I would cancel your contract when you get back to UK. Choose another provider.

    @O2 It’s not a matter of deleting and redownloading.The whole app itself is an issue. You have trashed it since merging and incorporating those clowns you joined with. Barely works, unnecessary extra steps, repeated need for login which has turned into a tedious exercise. It’s TRASH

  • toekelly_
    (@toekelly_) reported

    @O2 no, i log in through the app no problem, then no matter what i click on it’s sending me a verification email every time

  • GarySpedding
    Gary Spedding (@GarySpedding) reported

    @arokorol @O2 One of two possibilities: Your phone connected to an errant signal from a Palestinian mobile tower in the West Bank. You are lying and were not actually in Ben Gurion Airport when you got this text but actually travelling in Jerusalem or to an illegal settlement in West Bank.

  • OzSabb77
    OzSabb77 (@OzSabb77) reported

    @arokorol @O2 It’s picked up a signal from a mast in the Palestinian Authority area. If you are in Dover, O2 sometimes pick up a signal from France and send you a welcome to France text
