  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

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

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • emzz6 Emma Springford (@emzz6) reported from St Helens, England

    @GodsGift1983 @O2 Me too….been them forever and had problem after problem with signal etc, time to change network I think once contact comes to an end

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • 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 device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • itspaulactually Paul (@itspaulactually) reported from St Helens, England

    Nah, @o2, you’re *************** now. If I’m in a crowd of more than 10, I get no signal. Tear up my contract now. @ee, you game?

  • 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?

  • eagleeyedferret 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.

  • Mhamp84 Myles Hampson (@Mhamp84) reported from Hindley, England

    @Clf88 @O2 Yeah it’s been fine , vodaphone network . I buy the phone out right and just pay for data

  • 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?

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

  • 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.

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • StevenB93941279 Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

  • Andy_TheGrouch Andy (@Andy_TheGrouch) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 no chance i’m renewing, genuinely shite network coverage, cant make call when driving without it sounding like someone is under water & call failing. Mast been down in Ashton for over a week. Phone basically useless. Troubleshooting links are pointless - not good enough.

  • CannyAuldGyruum Abe (@CannyAuldGyruum) reported

    @AppleSupport Hi no that hasn't work unfortunately. He has been to the local @O2 store but they have been unable to help. @O2 anything from you to help...?!

  • CarlosShelu Papii Dee (@CarlosShelu) reported

    @O2 is there a reason why all your customer service number are not connecting

  • Gucci_Hughes 👉🏼 Brad Hughes 👈🏼 (@Gucci_Hughes) reported

    @O2 oh and I've never paid late, my wife's contract is in my name as a joint contract so hers would be affected too if that was the case, just my handset, she has the same one but only difference is mine is an e-sim (by choice) and she has a physical sim

  • GCT1UK Glyn Taylor (@GCT1UK) reported

    @O2 sadly after being a business customer with o2 for over 15yrs I feel its time to switch to alternative network. The reason poor coverage. If you want proof go on your coverage checker for my post code it says excellent. Then stand in my back garden and tell me if it is or not!

  • Gucci_Hughes 👉🏼 Brad Hughes 👈🏼 (@Gucci_Hughes) reported

    @O2 absolutely no signal, not even basic signal for calls and SMS... Been like this now for 2.5hrs and it's not specific to my area as I've travelled from #Southampton to #fareham and my wife's signal is fine. Getting very annoyed QUICKLY!

  • _catlow Martyn Catlow (@_catlow) reported

    @O2 Is that all you folks can offer in terms of support, referral to a resource which is inaccurate, static and does not represent the real world ? I have a service problem and it’s not being addressed, what are O2 going to do about it ?

  • LewisB1983 Lewis Bell (@LewisB1983) reported

    @O2 another company who take money without providing a service!!!

  • CarthySM Simon (@CarthySM) reported

    So upgraded my phone a few months ago with the promise of a £300 gift card with @O2. After repeated emails, phone calls nobody ever responds. Unprofessional, non-existent customer service, see how they like it when I blank their calls and letters for non payment of bill! 🖕

  • theredsnapper marc redford (@theredsnapper) reported

    @O2 Who to and how do we report network issues, 02 Status reports give nothing more than ‘there’s mast issues’ no updates at all even though they’ve been requested! 🤷🏼 #FirstWorldProblems

  • 46karenk karen knight (@46karenk) reported

    @O2 I was promised a reward card of £300 when I upgraded my phone at end of July. Despite a case and complaint being upheld by o2 I still don't have the reward card. How do I escalate this complaint and speak to someone
