Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Colchester and nearby locations:

  • Geobadger1 Christopher Chapman (@Geobadger1) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Hi @O2 just had a bizarre call from a call centre thinking I’m still an O2 customer. I’ve not been on your books for 6 or so years, so it’s either a scam or your records are quite out of date.

  • RozBaldwin Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, England

    @O2 Total waste of time just keep getting quoted your on the wrong contract for that !!! As you got your phone at #@CPWTweets ! Fantastic I’m such a happy customer right now ! Not!!!

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @O2 so I have 3 accounts with o2 and looking at an upgrade to iPhone 12 in March for 2 of my accounts but it’s cheaper to leave and rejoin or go elsewhere #terrible #noloyality #rubbishdeals

  • RozBaldwin Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, England

    Now furious @O2 customer service said they would call me at 6pm as they did not want to miss me !! Funny but by uk time that was an hour ago ! #furious #socalledbestcustomerservice ! #o2

  • MissClaireW CLAIRE WALMSLEY (@MissClaireW) reported from Halstead, England

    @O2 any resolution to your app not working, logins just go back to the same email verification page? So many people posting & no answers?

  • MattyCrane Matt Crane (@MattyCrane) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @O2 Understood, for a day or two that would make sense. But service down for over a week with no timescale for resolution as you have said, is pretty poor you must admit. Oh well we continue to pay the bill for a service we can’t use. 🙄

  • kennythekilt kenny wilson (@kennythekilt) reported from Colchester, England

    @O2 hi there I have just joined o2 when I signed up I gave my pac code but the sim has turned up today and it’s not my old number ... please help

  • ScrumpyDaniel Daniel Hill (@ScrumpyDaniel) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @NSPh0t0s @ManUtd_BITW @TheO2 @O2 @AXS_UK @TicketmasterUK @seetickets Ticketmaster is by far the worst.... at least for all the Mania events it is! It’s shocking for Axxess and has screwed me over many a time and almost cost me Undertaker VIP

  • AndySoloman Andy Soloman (@AndySoloman) reported from West Bergholt, England

    @O2 your customer services are truly dreadful. What an awful Christmas present we have had.

  • RozBaldwin Roselyn Baldwin (@RozBaldwin) reported from Sudbury, England

    Incredibly #disappointed with the service received on @O2 chat this evening think they may need #CustomerService training ! Very standard robotic reply’s maybe it was a robot 😂

  • MissClaireW CLAIRE WALMSLEY (@MissClaireW) reported from Halstead, England

    @O2 Yeh you keep replying to people with this, & yet the link you sent either directs back to social media, or continues the issue of login problems... so... ?? @virginmedia @O2

  • ColletteLynn_ ¢σℓℓєттє ℓуηη мσσяє♥ (@ColletteLynn_) reported from Great Horkesley, England

    Why am I still paying full price for my tariff when the mast is down in my area and has been for a while now? I can’t access my network properly so why should I still pay? @O2 sort it out please!

  • fmorton71 Fiona Morton (@fmorton71) reported from Great Bentley, England

    @o2 you are CRAP

  • timcutbush Tim Cutbush (@timcutbush) reported from Ipswich District, England

    Oh my word @O2 ‘support’ is shockingly bad. Trying to connect my new Apple Watch to my existing data plan - failing big time. @O2 have no idea whatsoever

  • doggett_kieran K (@doggett_kieran) reported from Ipswich District, England

    @O2 so I make an insurance claim, which i pay for monthly and you can't replace it as not in stock, nearly 2 weeks waiting. Poor. I ring today to get told lines are closed, its 11:41 on a Monday. Poor. What have you to say

  • m7hompson Matty Thompson (@m7hompson) reported from Ipswich District, England

    What’s the deal @O2 trying to make an insurance claim but been on the phone for 45mins and spoken to 5 different advisors which keep telling me there going to transfer me through, is this something that can’t be down in the #o2 shop?

  • KevinRowley4 Kevin Rowley (@KevinRowley4) reported from Maldon, England

    @O2 for weeks now, Maldon CM96JR no 4 or 5G signal, voice calls virtually impossible at times. What's going on? Thank you

  • lovelylaurajd Laura Davidson (@lovelylaurajd) reported from Colchester, England

    Absolutely love @O2’s recycle service. Upgraded to the new iPhone 11, sent off my old iPhone XS and received £400 into my bank account today! 🙌 That is going straight into the holiday fund! 😎

  • ashleighlast AL (@ashleighlast) reported from Ipswich District, England

    As if @O2 have said the reason my 4G is shockingly slow and non existent majority of the time is down to thickness of the walls or too many people around me!!?? Imagine being with a company for 12 years and getting that **** service? Time to leave.. #poorservice

  • JamesSharp87 James Sharp (@JamesSharp87) reported from Witham, England

    Hello @O2 I’ve accidental damage to the rear of my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Only had the phone 3 months so will it be covered under warranty?

  • SteveMacpompey Steve M (@SteveMacpompey) reported

    @O2 Why is trying to buy anything from you guys (a simple data SIM) so painfully slow and laboriously frustrating? After 30 mins inane chat I just gave up and jumped off a bridge!

  • thegrumpyscot Alan (@thegrumpyscot) reported

    So @O2 appears to have gone down (LE10) -- too much sun perhaps ? trying logging on but of course they want to use 2FA via text messages .. and with no signal ..

  • MattHardy89 Matt (@MattHardy89) reported

    @TheO2 i’m not paying my full phone bill in Kettering UK like many friends because we’ve little to no signal, the masts are waiting for new parts… @O2

  • xKatiex_ Summer Fence (@xKatiex_) reported

    @O2 I’ve had my contact three months and in that time your service in my area has been down more than it has worked. Trying to get through to someone, no hold message and rings out. Can’t use webchat as says you’re too busy. I need to speak to someone to cancel please

  • laurenmaher_ Lauren💃🏼 (@laurenmaher_) reported

    @O2 @LutzSchueler please can my email of complaint that I sent at 3pm yesterday be looked in to urgently.

  • ReeceR1990 Reece Richardson (@ReeceR1990) reported

    @O2 please can you answer this one for me. Why do I get better signal in tenerife than in Manchester.????? Think you need to sort something out there haha

  • alisonjyoga Alison Johnson (@alisonjyoga) reported

    @O2 #o2 Hello. I have the same problem again with my mobile trying to use my Data in France Basically I can’t use Data. I can only use my phone when I can access WiFi. Not great in France as public WiFi very limited. I’m relying on my phone to keep up with work

  • ianrosenthal Ian Rosenthal (@ianrosenthal) reported

    @O2 Why is swapping a phone number from an old sim to a new one so difficult. Have tried 3 times in the last month. Website, calling customer services and the move by text service all told me that I'll be moved within 24 hours. 48 hours since latest attempt and still nothing.

  • HeistXander Xander Tiberius Heist (@HeistXander) reported

    @O2 Joined 11/05, told I have to pick my O2 benefit in 28 days but my account still isn’t active. Called in but tech had to escalate, no return call. Complained and I get a reply every 5-7 days to find out it still doesn’t work. Waste of time moving to O2. Garbage.
