  • SawdayJames 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?

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

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

  • Dan05858044 Dan (@Dan05858044) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported 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.

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • JMcKnighty ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported 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

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • SteveVanDang Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

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

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

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

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @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

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

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

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @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.

  • ha6dll it's me. (@ha6dll) reported

    @O2 I refer to not acknowledging an issue exists. To not even a courtesy reply to say it will be reviewed, that, the data I provided was correct and that the information given to me was unprofessional and wrong. Wow

  • WRNicholls Will Nicholls (@WRNicholls) reported

    @O2 This is causing me so many problems. I cannot login to anything two factor for work. Sort this out!!!

  • JoanneBHR Joanne (@JoanneBHR) reported

    @O2 @ZoeLi22Mia Given we log on exactly at 2pm how can they be out of stock. No one can get there faster! I’ve had same issue no luck since joining with Virgin.

  • BrianMa63080971 Brian Martin (@BrianMa63080971) reported

    @O2 Hey O2 - yet AGAIN my service has been stopped despite the fact O2 owe me money the UK Ombudsman ordered O2 to pay. I will be naming and shaming O2 on social media permanently now until this is dealt with. RESTORE MY SERVICE! 🤬🤬

  • Polz212 Polly Talbot (@Polz212) reported

    @O2 Hi O2, I've not had any signal in the Edinburgh area for 7 days now. Wondering when this will be fixed?
