    @O2 working like clockwork? It goes faulty every week. "O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

  • MuslimShamir Follow Poor Shamir Claimant Ali Entrapment (@MuslimShamir) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Answer the phone. Is your phone not working ? Is it a desk phone or mobile you using ?

  • auspices richard (@auspices) reported from Birmingham, England

    anyone else I know have @O2 as a mobile phone network? I may as well not have a phone it’s straight up awful coverage

  • Tracey_Devina Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!

  • Crystalcraftand Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan.  I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?

  • StevoJones1984 Steve Jones (@StevoJones1984) reported from West Bromwich, England

    I seriously can't wait to get off @O2. Their customer service has been top notch, but the signal is beyond a joke.

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 Getting very close to the point of cancelling my order. The port has failed and I have no service. Cannot get through to your support as there are no agents available. No reply to FB message since 9 am. The clock is ticking...

  • EvanD Evan Davis (@EvanD) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 That looks like an Apple device. #Alexa won’t help you there. #Siri might.

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

  • mparkerjones Matthew Parker-Jones Hall (@mparkerjones) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 hi we ever getting a fix for postcodes WS14 and WV14 terrible phone signal and data just doesn't connect mentioned in December and according to your app it would be fixed in 2 weeks ?! 4months later still exactly the same

  • hijabiexplorer Mimii Hatun |Y| aka Ms Begum (@hijabiexplorer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Typical of @o2 for not cancelling my line when I a called in during the cooling off period to cancel the contract. #Thieves

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    That, @O2 had better coverage now I'm left with all this extra stress when I'm out because my mobile doesn't work when using @O2 network.... Its not my mobile either. I have a Samsung s20.....

  • amanmarway batgirl (@amanmarway) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 have still not processed a refund from March/April (despite being promised at the time I wouldn’t even be overcharged and my account had already been credited) Two weeks ago I was told payment would be with me in 5 days but I’m chasing ONCE AGAIN Atrocious customer service

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 After spending 6 hours trying to get hold of customer services, I ended up driving (and paying for parking) to go to one of your shops to get a sim swap. This apparently the only to get service working. Not the best of starts.

  • PeteVillan1981 Carpy Villan™️ (@PeteVillan1981) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks

  • ReissOmari Gordé 🥚 (@ReissOmari) reported from Birmingham, England

    I’ve just been in to the @O2 store to get a new sim, fantastic service in store, however, I was shocked to find my contract has gone up £6 since October? How does that work??

  • notdodgy Roger Leitch (@notdodgy) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 can you stop advising people to "reset network settings" when your network has problems. This didn't fix the problem with your network and unfortunately wipes out all WiFi and Bluetooth settings, which then need manually setting up again. Not good advice at all.

    @O2 worst customer service ever. Cancelled my phone contract within 14 days, returned phone, you are still chasing me for payment 6 weeks later. The refund was approved can't be processed by the people who answer the phone.

  • joceth97 Darren Baulch (@joceth97) reported

    @O2 I couldn’t get tickets for a gig via the O2 app (@teskeybrothers) so ended up purchasing them through ticketmaster. As an O2 customer, can I still get priority access when I get to the venue?

  • BenjaminoW27 Ben (@BenjaminoW27) reported

    @O2 had my iPad Pro for about a year and it’s now not turning on at all. Is this something you can help with?

  • NJMILZ NiKkI (@NJMILZ) reported

    @O2 So apparently the bill has been waived cos i closed my account down before the next bill was due? i had the number for a week or two. is this correct information? THANKS

  • satpalram John Harvey (@satpalram) reported

    @O2 I’m getting *nowhere* with your ‘Live’ Chat. Phone’s not connecting to the network. Please help.

  • StaceySim Stacey Sim (@StaceySim) reported

    @O2 Frustrating doesn't cover it appalling is the word you are looking for, and I have cancelled my direct debit until it is resolved, imagine now someone will actually want to help

  • bluegaschris chris fear (@bluegaschris) reported

    @walkeradam1 @O2 Spot on Adam! actually feel like their taunting me every time they tweet ! Worst mobile company ever hope some panorama type tv show shows them up for what they really are !!

  • ChrisW71 Chris Whitfield (@ChrisW71) reported

    @O2 Hi, can you check the phone masts that transmit to the DN8 area - Thorne, around Wike Gate Road area. There is no signal at all. Whereas in other parts of DN8 area signal seems fine. Cheers!

  • join4te Jay (@join4te) reported

    @O2 Day 5 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.

  • MarquisdeGeek Marquis de Geek (@MarquisdeGeek) reported

    @O2 Can you please explain why I need to give the answers to my secret question to your staff when your site states "Remember, we’ll never email, text or call you and ask for a one-time code or password, or for any other security information you’ve set up on your O2 account."?
