  • 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 !

  • 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.

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

    @o2 why is your service unusable in areas that your map says has good coverage? No backhaul bandwidth? B90 4AJ poor outside nothing inside. B13 0UR poor inside. Intermittent connectivity in spite of reasonable signal. Three works perfectly onside and out.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @gazswain @O2 O2 🤝 Virgin - dog **** mobile networks

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    I'm so pissed off @virginmedia blackmailed me into signing my mobile contract with @O2 by saying my media account would be cheaper. If I stayed with virgin it would be amount more. So I had no option but to go with o2 and No my mobile Internet is crap. I can't use my doorbell

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

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

  • 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

  • MuslimShamir Follow Poor Shamir Claimant Ali Entrapment (@MuslimShamir) reported from Birmingham, England

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

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

    @O2 Getting very close to the point of cancelling my order. The port has failed and I have no service. Cannot get through to your support as there are no agents available. No reply to FB message since 9 am. The clock is ticking...

  • amanmarway batgirl (@amanmarway) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 have still not processed a refund from March/April (despite being promised at the time I wouldn’t even be overcharged and my account had already been credited) Two weeks ago I was told payment would be with me in 5 days but I’m chasing ONCE AGAIN Atrocious customer service

  • notdodgy 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.

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

    @O2 just changing to O2 as I opted for deal with Virgin. Disappointed with how poor your coverage is locally in the B90 area. Where I had over 200mbits 5G with three, I am now lucky to get 20mbits with O2. Do you have plans to improve your network? Have I made a mistake?

  • 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!!!

  • 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...

  • KittykatClaire Claire B🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ (@KittykatClaire) reported from Willenhall, England

    That, @O2 had better coverage now I'm left with all this extra stress when I'm out because my mobile doesn't work when using @O2 network.... Its not my mobile either. I have a Samsung s20.....

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

    @O2 I assume free coffee is cheaper than investing in network capacity.

  • JennDoesStuff Jenya Todorova (@JennDoesStuff) reported

    @O2 I was first told it will take 48 hours, then 28 days, then I called back after 30 days only to be told it will take another five days. Then I called again after a week and was told it will take another five days. It's five days today. Still no resolution.

  • _liam_ Liam O'Connor (@_liam_) reported

    @O2 To be fair, best service I've had from a phone company! Top marks! And cheers for the beer!

  • MindiiSoo Mindi (@MindiiSoo) reported

    @O2 a relative has received a default notice but isn’t & never has been with o2. Your call centre said they’d investigate & reply by email to the email on the account - which is obviously the fraudsters - brilliant! When I pointed this out they said go to the store! @BBCWatchdog

  • lintinblue linda endsor (@lintinblue) reported

    Anyone having trouble with @O2 network? Can’t make or receive any calls?

  • P_A_Thompson Paul Thompson (@P_A_Thompson) reported

    @O2 @_DP85 Hey Daz, they're not bothered mate, my masts been down since October, they messaged me on here saying yeah, we see what you mean, and that was it, no update, no timescales, no resolution, they're an absolute shower of shite

  • NiiLampteyShow Nii Lamptey Show #PUSB (@NiiLampteyShow) reported

    @virginmedia But I only took the contract on the basis of you providing a broadband contract to me that you didn't provide. And you CAN cancel the @O2 contract, what you mean is you won't. This has come about because of your inability to fulfill your service but you won't fix it

  • amyywright_x Aims 🌷 (@amyywright_x) reported

    @O2 hi team, just wondering if you could help me. I’ve paid all my decide plan off, however there’s still money to be pending to come out this month? Not really sure why? Is this a mistake?

  • DizzeeG Gino (@DizzeeG) reported

    @O2 Can you advise how I raise a complaint please?

  • stator_ dan (@stator_) reported

    @FollowCmK @O2 @santanderuk what is it with companies being crap? tbh i was surprised to say the least when i opened the letter lmao. literally had a phone conversation with them less than a month ago telling them the direct debit is not being taken and to set it up again apparently they did not do it!
