Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, EnglandWhy 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
-
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!

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?

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

Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England@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?
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

-
Helen Jordan (@hel25071) reported@O2 Took my elderly mother all the way to your store in Merry Hill as she needs a new phone on contract but because my father is the account holder, the assistant would not help her. Disgraceful customer service and totally ridiculous as she pays the monthly bill for two phones.
-
Barry Munckton (@bmunckton) reported@mhewson_MCH @O2 Or better still. 50gb data for £1.21 a month. Go figure. I didn’t scroll down enough lol. Try beating that. 7 months at that price. No contract.
-
Andrew Goldstein (@Goldie__101) reported@O2 Hello. That would have been in October last year. I had a phone call two months ago I believe with support asking when the -£7 in credit on my account would be refunded and why I had to chase this. I received the cheque in March but seem to be getting the texts and mails still.
-
Richard ingle (@RIngle100) reported@O2 can you explain why my daughters rolling plan was cancelled today withoutwarning and why your website will not allow a refresh? Tried calling call centre any they could not help. What has happened to O2? Do we take our business elsewhere.

• B e c k i e e • 🐝 (@beckieebabee_x) reported@huckleberrydan @mhewson_MCH @O2 Exactly the same here ! Data is just as bad even if got some phone signal. In a city can’t use the maps because it’s rubbish! My partner has moved to EE. & in going to follow suit if I can find a decent deal!
