    @BBCNews @O2 worst coverage ever no solutions. The network towers always down but yet I'm still paying 55£ p.m i have no choice but to pay!! #ripoffbritain #conmen

  • bks67 bridget sparks (@bks67) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @O2 I do have the app, I think I will phone the customer service team and ask them,

  • AEgbuonu ARIBBUZZ (@AEgbuonu) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @O2 sort your cancellation team and phone problem out. #poorcustomerservice

  • mrjc90 Josh (@mrjc90) reported from Hitchin, England

    @O2 not sure when your call centre in Cape Town opened but it’s been extremely painful trying to solve a simple issue..I might of been unlucky but think staff could do with some further training

  • HilaryRWriter Hilary Robertson (@HilaryRWriter) reported from Hitchin, England

    @O2 Yes. I’m trying to cancel my mobile broadband and cannot do it on myO2. The ‘help’ keeps sending me round in circles

  • JanGoodeve Cllr Jan Goodeve (@JanGoodeve) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @traceylsteve @O2 @GreggsOfficial I had the same issue in the #Hertford store, the app just said to try again later so ended up paying.

  • pilgrimbeart Pilgrim Beart (@pilgrimbeart) reported from Royston, England

    Seems @O2 are preparing for 5G by making 4G unusable - several places like this with great signal (5 bars, 4G+) but zero bandwidth

  • SteveAttw00d Steve Attwood (@SteveAttw00d) reported from Ampthill, England

    @O2 @tescomobile your claim to cover 4G for 99% UK population isn't my experience. I don't think you can back it up. Often I switch to 2G just to get a phone signal that works.

  • 848Jake Jake Kirby (@848Jake) reported from Toddington, England

    @O2 trying to cancel a SIM you set up without being asked, waiting an hour on the phone with no help yet - disgraceful customer service

  • isthatdan Dan (@isthatdan) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @O2 are gonna have to either offer me an amazing deal or sort out this horrendous signal issue. How can I not load a twitter video when I have a full 4 bars of 4G signal

  • EmJen81 Matthew J (@EmJen81) reported from Dunstable, England

    @O2 Why, for the past 6 months can I STILL not upgrade my phone online or any of your stores due to your dire lack of stock. I've had this phone for 3 years and it's dying. Yet you never seem to have any stock. Other networks aren't having issues!? Time to switch perhaps.

  • WickhamofWare Jonathan Flood (@WickhamofWare) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @O2 @tescomobile No mobile signal in Great Ashby, Stevenage all day!!

  • Steve_Edwards77 Steve Edwards (@Steve_Edwards77) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @westspice @O2 Awful service for me today!

  • ohhollygosh Holly O (@ohhollygosh) reported from Biggleswade, England

    @O2 Hi, how do I cancel Disney+ using the O2 app?

  • GoonerKJP Kaz 💋 (@GoonerKJP) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @O2 when I upgrade with a different network next week do I cancel my direct debit with you? Or do you do it ? @Barclays

  • MarkstanYoutube Mark Stanford (@MarkstanYoutube) reported from Luton, England

    This Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

  • lornahamblin3 Lorna Hamblin (@lornahamblin3) reported from Royston, England

    Nice tweet @O2 though please ensure my mother's number transfer issue is rectified and I will believe your sincerity...! Delivery late and phone number transfer not yet successful so not impressed so far..perhaps if you can take calls from relatives it would help vulnerable more.

  • juliet_gough juliet gough (@juliet_gough) reported from Stevenage District, England

    @O2 I have an enquiry and can’t find an answer on the ‘My O2’ page. Please help. #CustomerService #o2

  • cove123 mark nicolson (@cove123) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

  • johndpmc none of your business (@johndpmc) reported from Luton, England

    @O2 words fail me with how shockingly bad you are Your service is appalling, doing a sim swap on my behalf without telling me or having the new sim in my possession!So now no phone or contact to anyone unless in WiFi, wanna hope I have no accidents when I’m outside!! #theworst

    Am I the only one who gets horrendous attitude from @GreggsOfficial staff when ordering with @O2 every single time their manners and customer service are appalling 😮 #greggs #boro #anyonelse?

  • TheZoooch Antonello Zanicchi (@TheZoooch) reported

    @O2 hi I have messaged you regarding no network ok my phone

  • amelb8 Amelia Bateman (@amelb8) reported

    Having no phone signal or mobile data for two days has made me realise just how much I rely on my phone. Especially as a woman on her own, travelling around a big city. #O2 #stressed #help @O2

  • ChrisWilmshurst Chris Wilmshurst (@ChrisWilmshurst) reported

    The @O2 phone support is bloody awful. It’s impossible to get an issue resolved and the minute the automated system here’s you mutter anything profound because it’s so useless it hangs up.

  • Jessiewantsfood Jessielouu (@Jessiewantsfood) reported

    @O2 fed up with o2 and problems with my phone!! Could scream

  • carlofooty pompeycarlo (@carlofooty) reported

    @NeilNutbeam @O2 O2 have been shite for years. I always had poor signal in Portsmouth especially on match days (contention ratio no doubt) but even in Bucks where I live it had got steadily worse. In the end about 2 years ago I gave up and moved to EE and what a difference! 👍

  • CyclingDavid David (@CyclingDavid) reported

    @O2 Phone call from Indian sounding man on poor connection. OTP requested.

  • TrEKxpert TrEKxpert (@TrEKxpert) reported

    @O2 You're having payment system issues, yet no one has mentioned it. Tried multiple times, different cards, won't even hit my bank or credit cards as no notifications to say rejected either.

  • Barski1984 barski (@Barski1984) reported

    @O2 Thanks for your reply. Whilst this does not solve the problem its very admirable that a company as big as yourselves takes the time to read and respond. Thanks
