    Absolute garbage signal in central #lichfield again today @O2 - I have been with you over 20 years but I think I'm gonna have to bail. The last 2 years have been awful!

  • DeanMSimons Dean but festive (@DeanMSimons) reported from Birmingham, England

    hey @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?

  • 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.

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

    @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...

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

    Dunno what’s worse your “priority” or signal @O2

  • 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.

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

    @O2 Priority down!!!!!

  • John10649040 John (@John10649040) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 when are you going to fix the masts around Birmingham ( B11 ) as I’m sick of not bloody signal / data . £25 I think I’m do a refund !

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

    @O2 why does the local B90 4AJ mast go faulty EVERY week. 6 weeks in a row now, we get no service until it is repaired. You need better repair engineers as their repairs do not even last a week!!!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 9 hours after you reported it fixed (again). O2 Network Update: Stratford Rd, Shirley, Solihull B90 4AJ, UK Looks like a nearby phone mast isn’t working as it should, sorry.

  • 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.

  • John10649040 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 !

  • 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 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.

  • 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

  • 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!!

O2 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • C_Markham_ CM (@C_Markham_) reported

    @O2 joke company. 7 days after placing order, 2 phone calls to customer service, 2 escalations needing 24 hours still not resolved. If customer service is this bad when I’m trying to join, what will it be like when I’m tied into a contract?

  • _shannonbpowers Shannon Rivers (@_shannonbpowers) reported

    @giffgaff you might want to speak with your mobile line/owners @O2. You’re customers deserve better and @O2 aren’t taking it seriously. So many of us need to be able to call for help. Some of us are disabled and need to get onto the drs. Really unacceptable.

  • xgemm_x Gem✨🦋 (@xgemm_x) reported

    @O2 @O2 do you check dms? I have a phone loose battery and seriously overheating getting no where regards to any help, phone is under warranty until March

  • Nooooofsd نوف سالم الشمري (@Nooooofsd) reported

  • londontown1911 cj (@londontown1911) reported

    @clarkjames79 @O2 Just spoke to CS and you need go to settings mobile network, sim, preferred network type then turn off the 5g line and restart phone. He said it's linked to 5g whilst they fix the issue so just follow those steps. Worked for me. If not call CS as maybe something he did his end.

  • Gobberz Keiron Hopkins (@Gobberz) reported

    @O2 Yes, looks like a mast issue, got less than half a mile away and everything worked again

  • GeraldZibs Gerald Zibs (@GeraldZibs) reported

    @O2 hi there, I need to cancel and re-register for for O2 WiFi as I can't connect on the underground. I've tried everything. When i am on my account page to manage my O2 WiFi it just times out every single time.

  • Isabeld Isabel Davies (@Isabeld) reported

    @O2 I've tied three times to sign up to a new sim deal, but every time I try to checkout I get an error. Is this an issue at your end?

  • Ian_Somner Ian Somner (@Ian_Somner) reported

    @O2 FAO Matthew Davies O2 Customer Service Manager. I requested via Twitter an eSim pack for an iPhone 14. 5 days later I still don’t have one & the social media team has put in an order for a “Sim swap” which is not what I need. They don’t seem to understand how eSim works ?!

  • mattyapple Mathew Appleton (@mattyapple) reported

    @O2 changed my tariff the other day and visual voicemail has stopped working. Can you fix?
