    @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!

  • 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.

  • familyhomecook

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

  • Gsd1Omara

    @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

  • kjgreigy
    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

    @EuropeanBob7 @O2 Gone right down hill o2, used to be decent. ******* hard work now.

  • 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.

  • kingpak93
    Paul King (Kingy) (@kingpak93) reported from Glossop, England

    @O2 Have changed phones and need a micro sim card. Have PAYG with credit so want to keep same number and credit I have. Ordered a sim card online a week ago and nothing has arrived. Can you help please? New phone sat unused as can’t put standard size sim card in it.

    As soon as my contracts up @o2 it’ll be the last day you’ll ever get any money from me been with you guys for 10 years and you kick people down when they’re on their knees.

    @O2 your customer service is actually the worst

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

    @O2 beware of what you get told and sold by o2, they’ve ripped us off in a big way. Customer loyalty counts for nothing. After over 20 years with them, we can’t wait to go elsewhere. As unhelpful as it gets

    Chris Beale (@bealec1988) reported

    @jackreeduk @EnglandRugby @O2 He scored 4 tries the other day. Granted it was against Bristol so it doesn’t count but still. He’s only 5 points behind Feyi-Waboso who’s also had injury problems. I suspect his time will come once Borthwick is gone.

  • LilHay
    Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported

    @O2 @RichardPaulBonn Absolutely disgusting TEN hours been waiting for a response to dms and for u to get the issue sorted. Worst so called customer service ever award goes to you

  • Polonius90
    Andrew Ive (@Polonius90) reported

    @O2 just experienced the worst customer service ever. On the phone to O2 for an hour and a half about a broken phone, after being put through to three or four equally clueless people, having to give my details each time, we are told to phone Apple. I have full insurance

  • ajemioo8

    @O2 @TheO2 @O2 please help me out!

  • itsjackfernley
    Jack Fernley (@itsjackfernley) reported

    @O2 my SIM has been deactivated early before my replacement arrived. I was told I’d keep service until I inserted the new SIM, but I now have no signal at all and cannot call support. Please urgently reactivate my old SIM

  • IanCockerill2
    I.C (@IanCockerill2) reported

    @O2 Thanks for responding. Luckily my son in uk was able to contact you and it is now resolved. I want to make an official complaint as the reason my phone didn’t work is because O2 had barred foreign calls! I have had an account for 25 years, it’s totally unacceptable behaviour.

    @beck_reynolds @O2 @tastecard I have the same issue. How can I resolve?

    @O2 impossible to access website or app - cant make payments. @virginmedia its been a proper **** show. 😡

  • lilmissymoo90
    Lauren Blair♥ (@lilmissymoo90) reported

    @O2 Getting passed about for 2 hours too just to get an upgrade on an account that’s 7 years or older was crazy. I deal with all of my mother’s accounts and it’s never been an issue even the last phone she got from o2 was straightforward. I was almost changing to vodaphone

    @O2 what are the hours of your live chat support please? I need to speak to someone but I don’t have time to wait 3 hours on live chat this morning so I wanna know if I’ll have time this evening?
