  • sukirandhawa4x4 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.

  • sabphotos69 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.

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Thanks, it was worth a try, but unfortunately I can't open the link because my connection speed is apparently too slow.

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 yet again unable to charge my car because the signal from isn’t good enough.

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 You’re having a laugh !! Can’t get a decent signal at home - let alone elsewhere.

  • ChrisJSharratt_ ChrisJSharratt_ (@ChrisJSharratt_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I ordered a phone on the train today and only found out you need ID after. I have a copy on my phone, you can check with my work and I will be getting rid of this phone in an hour!!!!!! What ******** am I meant to do?!!!!!

  • sabphotos69 SAB Photography (@sabphotos69) reported from Woodside, England

    @simonmaroulis @O2 @ThreeUK The mast near me. Hasn’t worked in now 19months. I understand dead spots, but I struggle to get a 4g signal anywhere. Utterly ridiculous.

  • James_Burton04 James Burton (@James_Burton04) reported from Tamworth District, England

    Loosing the will to live with @O2 and the appalling lack of customer service!! Nearly 4 weeks and still no refund received!!

  • _tombradshaw 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!

  • sukirandhawa4x4 Suki Randhawa (@sukirandhawa4x4) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 why is your reception in the #WestMidlands so bad #Willenhall #Walsall showing 4G internet buffering all the time, considering moving on to another network after 20 plus years with you.

  • charlll18x Charlotte (@charlll18x) reported from Dudley, England

    Don’t know what I’m paying for as it is can’t name a place I actually get signal, now a massive price increase. Can’t wait to leave @O2

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

    @O2 Hi, please could you help me with a online store order?

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Called to complain about poor network coverage where I live and work. Battery died whilst waiting on hold forever.

  • PongoVilla PongoVilla (@PongoVilla) reported from Birmingham, England

    Why has #o2 gone crap since they merged with #Virgin time to move @o2

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • gracielou_xx Gracie xo (@gracielou_xx) reported from Swindon, England

    I 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 🤢

  • RefinedSavage Dani Grim (@RefinedSavage) reported from Dudley, England

    Seems 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.

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

    How poor is the coverage from @virgin mobile? Since the merger with @O2 the mobile coverage is appalling. Massive price increase on all plans/ packages yet the network service is worse than ever

  • MikeKlymko Mike Klymko (@MikeKlymko) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 really disappointed with the service I’m getting from O2. Poor coverage, dropped calls, slow texts, no internet, been like this for 5 months, No sign of a fix, difficult call centre staff hide behind “policy” to avoid being helpful. If you need a new provider - Avoid O2

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

    @villa4ever29 @Virgin @O2 Awful mobile coverage for the last 12 months. Shame I’m tied in to my contract for another 6 months. It’s been particularly bad the last couple of weeks. No 4G available and switching between 3G & EDGE regularly. Appalling

    @O2 Hi! It's my O2 specifically. Can't log in online either. Trying to get throguh to customer services and 30mins but still not managed to get through to anyone 😢

  • daliamoralesx Dalia Morales (@daliamoralesx) reported

    Waited over an hour on the phone for @o2 to tell me they’re having technical issues and can’t access anything what is the point in keeping customers on the phone? Worst service ever been trying all week

  • _tombradshaw 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!

  • Natalie80436441 Natalie (@Natalie80436441) reported

    @O2 your service is beyond a joke now. Over an hour wait on the phone, zero response via chat despite promises you’ll come back to me. Please can you tell me how to make a formal complaint?

  • ShabbirD Shabbir (@ShabbirD) reported

    @O2 is anyone working in Customer Service today? I’ve been waiting to get through to someone for 50mins now. You’re a phone company that doesn’t answer the phone. Learning from the idiots at Virgin Media.

  • TraceyMc1111 Tracey (@TraceyMc1111) reported

    @O2 I have just spent an hour getting through to your customer services to find that someone has been using my SIM card that never arrived, abroad in the USA and it’s been charged to my account!! How on earth was that allowed to happen?

  • GondoT Rozvi (@GondoT) reported

    @O2 I am tired of waiting for you to service my request even with escalation been over 2,5 weeks no sms working, feedback zero, rude customer service

  • as1z_ Asad Zafar (@as1z_) reported

    @cagrisakaoglu @O2 They’re awful honestly
