  • 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?

  • clare_jeffs
    Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They 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.

    Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    @Allan2111272 @O2 It was so atrocious that their own network app couldn’t work

  • JacquiDarling
    Jacqueline (@JacquiDarling) reported from Bolton, England

  • 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.

  • tuite_liz
    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

  • jasonpeachey1

    What is goin on with @O2 phone signal constantly dropping an 4G\5G practically non existent!!! 😳

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @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???

    @Jonny_Ham @O2 They usually limit companies who use their network to 100mb whereas unlinked I can get 700mb some cities

  • DJBSBC
    GBD (@DJBSBC) reported

    @O2 @TomTugendhat O2 your signal and data in particular is farcical. It’s one industry that has taken the biggest step back in terms of advancements and relies on people using WiFi more often and just ‘accepting’ that the service is ****.

  • des_mansfield
    Desmond Mansfield (@des_mansfield) reported

    @worstall @O2 @vodafone Oligopolies can still be bad.

  • nicknickster
    Nick Booth (@nicknickster) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone Exactly. They all share one network of masts now so no-one has an incentive (or an ability) to provide a better service

  • Lizcoombe

    @Ianbarnes2001 @TomTugendhat @O2 I am on EE and the number of places across the country there is no signal.

    @O2 ever since you merged with virgin media trying to pay on your web site / app is impossible Been a customer for over 20 yrs Your service is diabolical

  • customerchamp1
    Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported

    Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

  • Groundhopperno1
    RichardAngell (@Groundhopperno1) reported

    @O2 hi O2 can you help me with an issue on my account? 3 lines customer for over 20 years and I’m struggling to get the loyalty discount and also the local 5g mast has been out of action since December and I’ve been paying for an airtime contract that hasn’t given me a service

    @O2 signal is absolutely rubbish! New iphone17 pro max New SIM card and it still lets me down!! @EE @vodafone

  • BaldeyAl
    Al Nickson (@BaldeyAl) reported

    @O2 @TomTugendhat My signal is always terrible. How come it often shows 5G and I can’t even get a page to open? We pay so much for our tariffs and the service is worse than ever.
