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

  • mparkerjones Matthew Parker-Jones Hall (@mparkerjones) reported from Walsall Wood, England

    @O2 hi we ever getting a fix for postcodes WS14 and WV14 terrible phone signal and data just doesn't connect mentioned in December and according to your app it would be fixed in 2 weeks ?! 4months later still exactly the same

  • 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?

  • hijabiexplorer Mimii Hatun |Y| aka Ms Begum (@hijabiexplorer) reported from Birmingham, England

    Typical of @o2 for not cancelling my line when I a called in during the cooling off period to cancel the contract. #Thieves

  • 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 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...

  • 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

  • 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 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 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.

  • Tracey_Devina Tracey_Devina (@Tracey_Devina) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 I’m at home for the next 5+ days with covid, my data’s gone, I followed up a text I received to say up my data… it starts on Friday - what’s the actual point. Can you help now, when it matters?!

  • 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

  • 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 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!!!

  • Crystalcraftand Crystalcraft Andy (@Crystalcraftand) reported from Dudley, England

    @O2 so Im looking to upgrade my phone. Problem is, the elements of my pay monthly plan are now split and out of sync. Virgin Handset is now mine but 20 months left on O2 airtime plan.  I cant cancel my O2 plan in order to start again (it wont let me change tariffs for 20 months)

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • CaptainTomlas Cap'n Tomlas (@CaptainTomlas) reported

    …I ask them about it and they need me to do all that myself which I haven’t been able to do around work, and also sent me the thing I have to print in a message I can’t access anymore. Send an official complaint email and get nothing back. @O2 it’s been months and still nothing.
