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
-
Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, EnglandI can’t believe I was on the phone to @O2 for a good hour and all senior members of staff refusing to come to the phone to answer queries about random, large charges on my bill. Instead leaving a less qualified member to try and help with absolutely no support or assistance 🤢
-
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.
-
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.

Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@paulwrightyboy @O2 @TelefonicaUK @MarkEvansO2 I have full signal...and 4G
-
SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Dudley, England@TheOldDear @O2 @EnglandRugby You’d think it would be easy to provide a service considering they charge me……….. wait for it £67 a month. I get no signal at all most of the time. Yet apparently engineers are working on it.
-
Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England@O2 yet again unable to charge my car because the signal from isn’t good enough.
-
Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, EnglandI would also like to add this will be TWO CALENDAR MONTHS with no signal @O2, TWO WHOLE MONTHS #TinPotNetwork #B73
-
Samantha Thompson (@crazysamsam) reported from Walsall Wood, EnglandYour customer service has been awful at this difficult time @O2. We had to call your bereavement department so many times to sort out the bill you said you’d wave, and this has caused us much stress and anxiety. To then contact us again on FATHER’S DAY is extremely cruel.
-
Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, Englandhey @O2, I’m trying to enter my IMEI number on the Recycle site to start the process of trade in for my new contract but it’s not accepting it? Pretty sure my iPhone is genuine after all these years haha. Could you help?
-
Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@paulwrightyboy @O2 Problem is, I don’t think any network is working...@tescomobile and @VodafoneUK also having same issue in my house...had no signal for weeks now
-
John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England@O2 @jimswanstonlive That crap answer does not improve your **** network . How about Birmingham B12 again utter Shite signal ! Guess what I know the local mast is down but it has been ever since I have been with you !
-
RICARDO WILLIAMS (@iamRicardoW) reported from Birmingham, England@BigJMusic @O2 @ThreeUK Did that... never looked back! Do it
-
Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England@O2 why is your reception in the #PathaanCollection WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering considering moving on to another network.
-
Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England@rachaelxspragg @O2 My update was via Email - BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SIGNAL SINCE MARCH 3RD 😂
-
Tom Bradshaw (@_tombradshaw) reported from Birmingham, England@EnglandRugby @SixNationsRugby @O2 Hate seeing Marchant out the 23, feels like he never gets a run of games… but a strong team, and a hell of a bench!
-
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.
-
James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, EnglandLoosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!
-
Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, EnglandSeems like @virginmedia is completely down in our area, I can't even access their support site to log a problem. Also it appears that @O2 is having some sort of issue, my mobile data connection is so slow that royal mail could be a viable messaging alternative.
-
Paul Berry (@paulberry2303) reported from Wolverhampton, England@O2 I have today received another letter telling me the phone is blocked. I don’t have an O2 phone. I have never had an O2 phone. I don’t owe any money. I know you are looking at it but surely you can put a block on correspondence while you do?

JustaBoredGeezer (@BoredGeezer69) reportedHow poor is your service my O2 app Been trying to upgrade for over a week all I get is an error message tried going through 202 that was about as useless as your app One more attempt failed in going to EE truly peed off with it now @O2
-
Matthew Ridsdale (@MattRidsdale) reported@O2 Well, I have never known anything as utterly shambolic as your customer service! Another two hours wasted tonight trying to help my mum resolve an issue with that occurred in JUL2025! Still no sign of a resolution. Come on, let's get it sorted. This is beyond a joke.
-
Adam Berry (@DiscoEnergy) reported@mitchhirsty @JaadeSketch @O2 It’s just not the bill issue I’ve been trying to upgrade over the past month and still issues. O2 sort your website out please!
-
Mark Vater (@Mark_Vater) reportedHey @O2 you need to do something with the signal in Tenby, Pembrokeshire. It's shocking. 4 bars on 4G and can't connect to anything.
-
John Till (@JohnTillUK) reported@sackedseafarer @O2 But I keep getting errors “Too many page redirects occurred” whether I use the app or website. I then tried to submit a complaint online and guess what, that throws an error too! So raised it via X DM and given a complaint ref and assured I’d be contacted via my preferred channel
-
Sarah Loughran (@SarahDruscilla) reported@O2 in this day & age, why do we still have to settle for a signal that is “patchy indoors”. Got a text today saying our network issue has been fixed. Zero improvement. Still only 1 bar indoors. I had a better signal with O2, 20 years ago!!
-
Paul (@insittingbourne) reported@O2 so you have upgraded your network in #Kent with 5g+. Everyone I know that was on o2 have now moved away to another network as your network got so bad. Will this upgrade improve voice and signal ?
-
Hannah 💀 (@pilgrim1889) reported@BelfastGiants @O2 🎵 we've got the worst jerseys in the league*🎵 *Several leagues
-
Lisa Robertson 🇬🇧 🏴 (@daisy_poppy) reported@O2 Just want to say a massive thank you to Leonie (I hope I've spelled that right) in your Redhill, Surrey branch. I had a problem with my phone and she fixed it in about a minute. I'm a carer for my mum so really need my phone so it was a huge relief. Thank you again.

Terry (@tgloughnane) reportedIs it just me or is the @O2 mobile internet absolute garbage? If I have 4G that means no internet at all, if I have 5G that means I may have internet if I’m not at a busy location!
