    Hey @O2 is there a actually a mast issue in Wolverhampton? As I've been receiving little to no Internet while I'm at work (WV10) It's been about 2 weeks. I'm not the only one either. Checked your service status and says there's a mast issue but it hasn't been fixed. Any ideas?

  • RampziieTweets Dad (@RampziieTweets) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @TheO2 @O2 can you sort your network in Walsall, Birmingham. I put a complaint in at the beginning of the year and it’s STILL unbearable

  • amy_bradwell Amy Bradwell (@amy_bradwell) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I want to cancel my order with yourselves as the iPhone 12 pros are not included in the open discount.

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • Dedicated_Mole Gertrude Englebert 🇪🇺 (@Dedicated_Mole) reported from Burntwood, England

    @O2 my new phone arrived a week ago today on refresh but the network is still on my old phone. I have removed sim and switched on and off. How do I get the network to switch to my new phone??

  • DeanHawksworth dean hawksworth (@DeanHawksworth) reported from Swadlincote, England

    Been completely done over by an incompetent agent @O2.. asked for sim cards for smart watches I've bought for my kids.. since the conversation my phone has been deactivated.. wtf? 😡

  • ellenkenty ellen (@ellenkenty) reported from Lichfield, England

    @O2 hiya, are you having service issues at all? i’m unable to get any signal and haven’t been able to for nearly half an hour???

  • _Rachele_ Rachele (@_Rachele_) reported from Birmingham, England

    Help @O2 - I want to upgrade to the Huawei P30 Pro but it says it's not in stock. Will it ever be or can we not get Huawei anymore?

  • M5Mahmud Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

  • SophieMDrake Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

  • MrTegSingh Teg Singh (@MrTegSingh) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    @O2 customer services shocking after spending nearly 3 hours on the phone to them I had to go to the wolves store and sort it out myself. Massive thank you too Jeeves who works at o2 wolves for finding me a phone reserving it at merry hill I know have my new phone

  • ASWM1990 ... (@ASWM1990) reported from Walsall Wood, England
