  • sampixeldot Sam 🤸🏻‍♀️ (@sampixeldot) reported from Macclesfield, England

    @O2 Yep I have. It says you've been working on masts in the last 24hrs but there should be no current issues. After you've been working on masts, how long do you expect til signal is normal again?

  • liammcdon97 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.

  • TourdeMancBloke Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose

  • 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

  • BlennerK Kathryn Blennerhassett (@BlennerK) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 is there a problem with the network? My calls aren’t going through.

  • howierice Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot 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?

  • CherylManley14 Cheryl Manley (@CherylManley14) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

  • violetibeh Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  • GoaterBilly 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!

  • SteveVanDang Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • sampixeldot Sam 🤸🏻‍♀️ (@sampixeldot) reported from Macclesfield, England

    @O2 @CatherineLB92 Hi, still terrible phone signal here in SK11. I'm working from home so WiFi is fine but phone calls are not 😩

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

    @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.

  • Cheshirecats17 Splendiferous (@Cheshirecats17) reported from Bollington, England

    @O2 please tell me how I can arrange to pay my device balance and port my number when I have no mobile signal at home and your service numbers are solely automated? Dreadful service.

    @TheMeowtingz @O2 I forget you are just up the road! Same here, and every couple of days I'm getting texts saying they are improving the signal...

  • MrsWhiffin Jorden Whiffin (@MrsWhiffin) reported

    @O2 Have you been that busy that it’s taken since the 17th January? The anxiety you are causing due to your fault is inexcusable, especially in the current financial climate. I expect a phone call like I was promised with a resolution today.

  • mrtnwith martin witherford (@mrtnwith) reported

    @O2 I am still trying to contact customer support regarding a spend cap if I don’t get to speak to somebody soon I will be cancelling my direct debits

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 83 of 365 on trying to get O2 to fix their phone customer service. 1) If you ring and ask for an e-sim for an Apple Watch then good luck with that. Staff seem very untrained. 2) Calls disconnect too much when speaking on 202. 3) The whole IVR system feels dated.

  • JoeGibson_live Joe Gibson (@JoeGibson_live) reported

    The worst customer service I have experienced is with @O2 I have tried to contact them for over 4 days, now on hold again for the 4th time as keep cutting me off!!! Shocking!!! It’s to give them more money!!! Thinking about moving now

  • Intime42T TravelsIntime42 (@Intime42T) reported

    @O2 I have had consistently bad (or no) network for over a week in the North Bushey, Hertfordshire area. Is there a long term issue with your masts in that area or something? Thanks.

  • RobertBalaam Robert Balaam (@RobertBalaam) reported from Southall, England

    @O2 To not have a call-back service when calls are over 15 minutes is abhorrent 💩

  • DocAsh73 Ashraf Nasim (@DocAsh73) reported

    @O2 Very rude, unpleasant & unprofessional phone call I had with an O2 helpline agent just now. Quality of O2 customer service has significantly deteriorated.

  • iamdanreed Dan Reed (@iamdanreed) reported

    @Ginger_Tucci @O2 Ah! If you tap the “I didn’t get the code” link there is another link in there saying “I have no signal” then it will let you in. I never have signal when in pubs too. The link is really hidden.

  • shamrao222 shamrao (@shamrao222) reported

    @harry_steven000 @O2 I’ll advise you quickly look out for @DarcyDrollinger for help.
