    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.

    Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?

    @O2 hiya, are you having service issues at all? i’m unable to get any signal and haven’t been able to for nearly half an hour???

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

    @o2. Like clockwork every week O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Sorry, a phone mast close to you isn't working as well as we would expect Our engineers are carrying out some checks to investigate issues in this area...

  • LittleMissCosta

    @O2 I've tried this just now, they've said they've sent a code to my number but I've got no service to receive the text..

    @CPWTweets @O2 Why is it so hard to unlock an old CPW android phone, purchased through CPW but was on o2 sim/network. O2 say its CPW that need to unlock it, CPW say its O2, back n forth for 3 hours on live chat. Can one of you just get me a SIM network unlock PIN!! FFS!!

    @O2 @ThreeUK What on earth is happening in Dudley West midlands. Mine and my friends mobile phones have had no service. Is there something wrong?. I am doing this on his Post Office home internet

  • SophieMDrake
    Sophie Drake (@SophieMDrake) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 It’s having to be escalated due to a back office technical fault, issue on My O2 and the account behind the scenes, so I’m without data when out of the house for up to 10 days. Not ideal really!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LittleMissCosta
    Tina-Louise Boyce (@LittleMissCosta) reported from Solihull, England

    @O2 I've just tried this, they've said they've sent me a text with a code but I don't have any service to receive the text. So now I'm stuck..

  • PhilTonks2
    Phil Tonks (@PhilTonks2) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 Just runs very slow, if at all. Advised in the past to change settings in phone to use 3G but it's hardly practical to keep doing this. 4G+ in the City Centre just seems overloaded much of the time. Other half on Vodafone no issues at all. Very frustrating.

  • 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.

  • UKHarvick_Fan
    Jackie (@UKHarvick_Fan) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 is there a issue with a website ? I’ve paid for a phone twice now online and it still says unpaid …. And you’ve got my money !! Plus the phone is needed to employer to call me !!

  • MuslimShamir

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

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

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

  • ChrisSammons_
    Chris Sammons #StayHomeSaveLives (@ChrisSammons_) reported from Birmingham, England

    @danboq @VodafoneUK At least @O2 only fob me off once every two weeks 🤪 And they don’t even give a reason, just knock the date back every time 🤣 As long as I have signal in time so I can send my Xmas texts I’ll be a happy chap

  • 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??

  • GoGishiGoGo
    Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

    Mr H (@silestanix) reported

    @O2 I've already submitted a formal complaint, I'll be asking for my PAC Code when I'm back in the UK next week. Enough is enough. I will also be withholding payment of line rental for this billing period, as the service has been non existent, I still cannot make phone calls.

  • Slevern00p
    Slevern (@Slevern00p) reported

    @O2 why is your app so crap. It should be easy to use it’s absolute trash. I just want to check my bills and all it does it’s send links, everything appears to external to the app. Sort it out

  • ManovSteele
    Mark Steele (@ManovSteele) reported

    @O2 @dutsonsj Hi I have the same issue - what is the solution?

  • mitchhirsty
    Mitch Hirsty (@mitchhirsty) reported

    @Chriswa19691781 @O2 That’s not the only thing that can’t be done with O2 at the moment! Are you able to pay your bills on the app or website? I’m not and quite a few others aren’t either. There is something broken on their end and no one is looking into it

  • Afine849962

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone Nope never had any issues with the EE signal or network.

  • LaBloggeuse
    Dr Devra Kay (@LaBloggeuse) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE I have terrible reception. I have 2shout to be heard. Having ditched my land line relieved to be rid of BT, &loving free calls on What’s App all over the world I can hear people overseas with ease but they can hardly hear me. But with people nearby we can barely hear one another

    @EnglandRugby @O2 Just give the poor guys a break, Jesus Christ.

  • BooksProfile
    Profile Critics (@BooksProfile) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom, you were in power for 14 years and did nothing about reception on trains. This government is sorting that problem out. Just needed to flush out the Tories.

  • paalston
    Peter Alston (@paalston) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Make it the law, ofcom, that if there’s no decent reception on your chosen provider then mobiles piggyback onto a service which is actually available whenever you are, akin to the 999 thing - your mobile provider pick up the cost. Arguably just one UK network would be better

  • silestanix
    Mr H (@silestanix) reported

    @lebara have to say, for a PAYG network you guys have been absolutely brilliant. @O2 have failed me here in the USA since my arrival last Monday but this humble lil PAYG sim has been brilliant since a few days ago.
