    @O2 hi I have reason to believe that my phone number has been ‘spoofed’ can you 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?

  • 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

  • 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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

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

    @O2 known issue affecting quality of calls and 4G reduced to 3 G. Spoke with your Helpdesk who are aware of issue in BL3 area but no fix date. Why am i paying for a service i cant use. Been told to use wifi or hotspot. Been happening fir weeks now.

    @O2 It's always the same at work. Terrible service in a lot of places in Oldham.

  • dtackley
    Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, England

    Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

    @O2 so you have upgraded your network in #Kent with 5g+. Everyone I know that was on o2 have now moved away to another network as your network got so bad. Will this upgrade improve voice and signal ?

  • SonyRichards4
    lizrichards24 (@SonyRichards4) reported

    Here we go again, unable to cancel an old SIM card from @O2 and @virginmedia

  • JohnTillUK
    John Till (@JohnTillUK) reported

    My saga with @o2 just gets better and better. Raise a complaint and asked to be contacted by email, receive an acknowledgement of my preference… So what do they do, try calling me instead. Getting sick of it now.

  • NikiLemon1
    Niki Lemon (@NikiLemon1) reported

    @O2 our ddr didn’t go out at the beginning of the month. You have sent a letter and email to the business but the named person doesn’t work for us anymore and you won’t talk to any of us.. need help

  • TakeThatClouds
    Take That, Clouds (@TakeThatClouds) reported

    How daft is @O2 customer services? "I need a new eSIM for my replacement phone" "OK, to verify your identity we need to text a code to the phone number linked to your account." "But that's the phone that isn't working. That's why I need a SIM." "Sorry sir, I cannot help you."

  • ThePaulRawlings
    Paul Rawlings (@ThePaulRawlings) reported

    @TakeThatClouds @O2 Exactly the same issue with EE in the past - I was atempting to switch from physical SIM to eSIM. Process got stuck in the middle, so neither SIM was working. Call up, explain, ask for replacement SIM - Nope, not without a working phone. Had to go into the local EE store. Even there I had to go with ID, which was uploaded on an app, along side me taking a "selfie" even though I'm stood there in the store!

  • parriso56
    Otis Parris (@parriso56) reported

    @O2 Looking at the Network map what is good is rather subjective. Two bars isn’t good. Be honest and say the postcodes where you say it’s good just isn’t for data. The entire corridor running from Alwoodley- Chapletown is poor and towards St James’s is poor and has always been. Maybe it’s just geography

    Why has my 5g signal become really bad now my contract is almost up? Now I can’t order food in work because of your **** service an I’m starving. Scamming robbing ***** @O2

    Why is the O2 online shop not working? Been trying to upgrade my phone for days now. Just keep getting a opps page @O2

  • MCintosh1954
    M🍏Cintosh (@MCintosh1954) reported

    Network service from @O2 has fallen dramatically over the last few months. It's absolutely appalling in central London. Once my contract expires I'm off. Unfortunately I still have a year and a half left and they've said it'll cost over £234 to break the contract. 😡
