    @O2 For anyone following this after days of back and forth. The link above is useless as o2 DO throttle the speeds to an unusable level! “There’s no fixed data allowance with O2 Travel, so to manage traffic (including audio and video streaming) we limit the service to 500kbps.”

  • OllieTreend Ollie Treend (@OllieTreend) reported

    Just moved over to @O2 and I'm shocked to learn that they don't support Wifi or 4G calling for phones that weren't bought direct from O2 🤯 I never had problems using my @OnePlus_UK (bought outright from OnePlus) on the @EE network. What gives, O2!? It's 2023 – come on!

  • CarlyMeaden Carly Meaden (@CarlyMeaden) reported

    @o2 I’m having MAJOR issues with my service atm. I’m having to make 5-6 calls just to have 1 conversation as the line has either got horrible interference, distorts voices or just cuts off. This has now been ongoing for about 2 months. Please help or I’ll need to switch provider
