Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England@O2 has less than 20 mins to sort their app out. Come on guys, this is so bad
-
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.
-
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
-
Kurt Andrew (@kurtyoafc) reported from Middleton, EnglandThere are serious mobile phone signal issues in Middleton and it needs sorting and ******* properly @O2
-
⚽️ Jon BWFC Hurst ⚽️ (@JonHurst15) reported from Bolton, England@O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍
-
Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, EnglandThey told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

Josh Deegan (@Josh_Deegan) reported from Manchester, England@BigLouComedy @O2 100% Gonna try the general sale on Saturday. Don't hold much hope but you never know
-
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!
-
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?
-
Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, EnglandPee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.
-
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??
-
James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @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?
-
Rob 🇪🇺🏴 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, Englandhaha, just had an (obviously scam) phone call from someone who claimed to be from @O2 … when they asked how the service was and I said it was poor, they hung up
-

-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile
-
Rob 🇪🇺🏴 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, EnglandKinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡

Richard Giles (@Gilly2028) reported@O2 I’ve recently moved from Sky Mobile to O2, I can’t believe O2 actually charge you for sending MMS messages in 2026, 87p a message. Bear in mind Sky piggy back off of O2, I’ve never been charged for MMS.😳 😮 Have I made a big mistake moving to O2?
-
Lauren. (@LaurenDenny2) reported@O2 my phone number was disconnected on Thursday and was reassured numerous times it would be reconnected within 24 hours. 3 days later and it still isn’t reconnected. I’ve been advised to call 202. How when the network is still disconnected?! Very disappointing service!!!
-
Jade North (@JadeNorth) reported@O2 I can never get through to speak to anyone online. My bill after this years increase (the highest of all phone companies) is ridiculous. I want to change to sim only or something cheaper, but I always get told that’s not an option I can only upgrade my phone. I don’t want to
-
Darren Coomer (@coomerdarren) reported@O2 I'm absolutely pissed off with O2 i can't log in to my app as its asking for virgin media login details which I don't have an account with 2 calls to customer services & just a waste of time

krimestyles🏴🏴 (@krimestyles) reported@O2 how the hell can I wait 8 weeks for my money back, £490 for a sim I don’t even have . Complaint logged, it’s been over 8 weeks, no resolution, told by o2 to contact ombudsman but they don’t even deal with you. Get it sorted FFS
