    Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

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

  • 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

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @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 aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • NeilWilson_MUFC
    Neil Wilson (@NeilWilson_MUFC) reported from Oldham, England

    What a waste of space @o2 Now the site has crashed after giving me a code finally, totally unacceptable customer service #PeterKayLive

  • DaveWrigh
    Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • 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.

  • leannt1984
    Leann (@leannt1984) reported from Salford, England

    Hi @O2 I’m both a virgin media customer and have a pay monthly sim with O2 and i am struggling to sign up to Volt! Help!

  • SawdayJames
    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?

    @O2 what’s going on with the signal in Manchester, absolutely crap. Can hardly get on @SkySportsNews

  • RJakesEU
    Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • malllmallll
    Mario Alghatta (@malllmallll) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • sonnisamosa

  • Mrs_G_Bowen
    Just Gem 💙 (@Mrs_G_Bowen) reported from Ashton-under-Lyne, England

    @O2 I have no issue with waiting so long as you will have it in stock? I was told next Saturday on the phone for delivery this am and then received an email to say it's not in stock. Hence the confusion 😕

  • anthonyewbank

    Been a @VodafoneUK customer for 26 years, they have a network in the USA, yet they want me to pay £350 for us to use our phones when we are on holiday! @O2 do you want a loyal customer? What can you do for me?

  • pmw_77
    Pauline Wardle (@pmw_77) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 I ended up leaving o2 after years as service so bad.

  • theveryrea51631

    @seagullsim @O2 You can't. There hundreds of thousands of customer service staff soread across 4 nations, none of whom have good English.

  • MJJHunter
    Michael Hunter (@MJJHunter) reported

    @_unidropout @O2 It is absolutely terrible. Frequent gaps in coverage even in major town centres, often no such problems for others on different networks

  • jonathandu10972

    @jibbajabbba @kokeshimum @O2 Did you not read? Signal much worse last 2 years

  • Wayne_Hoos
    Bertie BigBollox (@Wayne_Hoos) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 It’s quite simple really, the comms firms that own and run the cellular relay sites throttle the power down to save money, and only tweak it back up slightly when enough people complain about service standards…

  • JohnRow06854162
    John Rowley (@JohnRow06854162) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Because we are so awful at new things. All we do is mend, repair and keep things the same , we are very ****.

    @jibbajabbba @kokeshimum @O2 EE has 5g where I live, yet videos end up with the 'loading wheel of death' regularly.... The UK infrastructure across the board is **** compared to many other countries
