Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Great Barr and nearby locations:

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • Cheadle Hooty McOwlface (@Cheadle) reported from Birmingham, England

    @whatphilsaid @O2 It’s horrendous. Who would have thought the network could actually get worse as technology improves

  • 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??

  • 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

    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

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

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

  • 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?!

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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 ?

  • 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?

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

    @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.

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

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

  • 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.....

  • 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

  • 2thieves Jonas Twothieves (@2thieves) reported

    @O2 The issue is a partial port. I was idiotic enough to give #O2 a direct debit mandate.

  • hrbuttpk Hamza Butt (@hrbuttpk) reported

    @ztcbyzain @O2 **** @O2, they have the worst service ever. They torture you and don’t even care for people with special needs.

  • Nook123a Mr N-1 (@Nook123a) reported

    @O2 should be ashamed at the way you treat loyal customers! 1 hour waits and no on line agents!!! Disgusting service …..

  • jvsingh .J ☬ (@jvsingh) reported

    @O2 Your customer care tell me they add/removed some 'bar' on my number. And yet I get no nofitication of changes done to my account or the reasons for those changes. Seems to be lack of accountability (or they're clueless). Either way, it's hard to trust O2 after 11 years

  • stevehartphoto Steve Hart (@stevehartphoto) reported

    @O2 I get that but I literally watched it count down and then was immediately gone. It's done this the last 3 weeks. Wondering if it's cos I'm not on O2?

  • fitmick1970 MJJ1970 (@fitmick1970) reported

    @O2 cut off twice today when speaking to one of your operators. 90 minutes wasted and issue not resolved. Why don’t you call the customer back when it’s plainly obvious they want the problem solved and haven’t just left the call??

  • maryannemccorma maryanne mccormack (@maryannemccorma) reported

    @O2 can someone help I’ve actually spoken to 5 different advisors and each time they say the previous one has given me the wrong advice, I’ve paid a bill for months for a contract I don’t have and noone can find and I still have no sim for 3 weeks now

  • N1nj4L1nk Fractured Dreams (@N1nj4L1nk) reported

    @GrumpyMathTeach @O2 Get off O2. They have bollocks signal, refer you to their broken signal checker when you complain and just overall have awful service. They should be shut down.

  • BrianMa63080971 Brian Martin (@BrianMa63080971) reported

    Hey, @O2 - stop hiding what you have done by sending me private messages - I need your appalling behaviour right out there for everyone to see. RESTORE MY SERVICE!

  • virtuawinter Andy Winter (@virtuawinter) reported

    Hey @O2 I have a new iPhone 14 and new data plan but am using an older 4G sim I’ve had since 2017. Your 5G FAQs state that a new 5G sim is needed to connect to your 5G network, but I’m seeing the 5G icon with this existing sim. Does this mean I don’t need to swap to a 5G sim?
