    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?

  • 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.

  • malllmallll

    @O2 terrible service from you guys today. Thanks for the inconvenience...

    Luke Marsden (@LukeAMarsden) reported from Oldham, England

    @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

  • Shelo_Mrs
    🌸Shelo🌸 (@Shelo_Mrs) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 why is it IMPOSSIBLE to speak yo somebody about your crappy service & non existent network????? £50 per month for NO SERVICE AT ALL for almost 12 months ! That's £600 shocking company!!

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • DAbrahamNewman
    Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

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

    @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 ?!

  • miss_scw
    Miss C-W (@miss_scw) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 yet more poor signal on your network in my area, really fed up now.

  • AtlasSailing
    🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

  • 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

    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

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

  • MrsMac1412
    Karen McCormick (@MrsMac1412) reported

    @o2 anyway you can find out why your 4G & 5G signal in the RG45 area has gone from bad to shockingly bad in the last few weeks? Buffering is becoming a joke - I can make a cup of tea by the time anything loads!!

  • SickofwaitingD
    Barry Hollocks (@SickofwaitingD) reported

    @Polymarket @O2 is great for this, 4G, 5G? It's all for nought because none of it works. The worst part, this joke of a network is the best option in my town.

  • emmachloee
    𝙀𝙢𝙢𝙖𝘾𝙝𝙡𝙤𝙚𝙚 (@emmachloee) reported

    Imagine living in 2026 and never having any 5G signal with @O2 🫪

  • sweetiepiecaz
    Caroline McDonnell (@sweetiepiecaz) reported

    @O2 this is why I left o2. My partner has a business and his customers are saying they can't get through to him. It has been over a week. The £10 refund is not enough. Can you just fix the mast please?

  • kgbrown91
    Kay Brown (@kgbrown91) reported

    @O2 I have upgraded my phone and need to transfer my sim over to the new phone, please can you help as it’s impossible to talk to an actual human on live chat! Thank you

  • Strait_ToHell
    Straight To Hell (@Strait_ToHell) reported

    @Sjynther @O2 I agree, my signal in Church Warsop uk is awful, o2 map says mast has had issues the last few days and it's being worked on. Signal comes then goes all day meaning I keep getting a load of notifications then nothing for ages and I'm getting repetitive voicemail ones also with no actual voicemail stored. Something is broken at o2

  • NRose_N5
    N Rose (@NRose_N5) reported

    @O2 your service is terribly poor and slow nowadays, & the amount of same complaints I’m seeing about you is quite shocking!

  • feliciavcartier
    Felicia Van Cartier (@feliciavcartier) reported

    @O2 Shame you have a **** network at home @o2. When are you actually going to do something about that???

  • gijayne999
    Natalie Jayne Smith (@gijayne999) reported

    @O2 would be great if someone could turn my phone back on. No customer service just ignorance. Money grabbing baffoons

    @O2 this number calls claiming to be your customer service +44 7307 164709 Sounds like a scam caller
