    ~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

    Shannon (@ShanRebec94) reported from Sale, England

    @chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor

  • Gsd1Omara
    Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

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

    Anyone else’s #O2Priority gone down? @O2 was fine an hour ago

  • GoaterBilly
    Billy Goater (@GoaterBilly) reported 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.

  • 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?

    @O2 your customer service is actually the worst

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @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

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

    @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 🥱

  • 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?

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

  • 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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • 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?

    @O2 I posted about an issue I've been having for over 4 months now and the fact no one seems to want to get it resolved. I was told to send a DM and you guys will make sure it is dealt with. I sent DM few days ago and ain't heard anything, not even acknowledgement of recieved DM.

    @O2 Always seems to be an issue accessing my account, using either of your apps..... you really just need to simplify this!!! I remember when customer perception was a huge focus at O2, but they don't seem to care any more!!!

    @LL2013A Also having problems. I think their customer service call centre has been hijacked by scammers. We've tried numerous times to contact @o2 to get resolution and still nothing. Time to investigate this @o2. I am resorting to Ofcom.

    @O2 I've been trying to get proof of purchase on phone for months now. I've been promised emails but nothing happens. I'm no longer an O2 customer, but the phone was part of a contract
