    @O2 Nothing received. When was it sent? Last message I had from you was an auto responder on 24th July stating that you’d respond to my complaint within 5 days. Have had nothing since.

    @O2 urgent my new provider activated the PAC code provided by you. Their sim card does not work because apparently my device is locked with you. I cannot text you to get it unlocked. Please help asap.

    @O2 @GarethTurpin I appreciate your personal message. However, I now remember why I left you last time, lower than average service, and now a 17.3% total price increase, which is disproportionate and completely knobbish if you ask me. @BBCNews

    @stu_levy1 @Luca__WFC @O2 I've just realised that might be Rick Astley on stage as the support act, sorry.

    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?

    Beginning to regret renewing my contract with O2, their coverage in Chelmsford is awful. My 4G works about 20% of the time. @O2

    Ryan (@rightwingback) reported from South Woodham Ferrers, England

    @O2 I hope I'm gonna have a discount in my phone bill this month for your network constantly being down

  • 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

  • ashley_leggett
    Ashley Leggett (@ashley_leggett) reported from Great Leighs, England

    @O2 The fact it’s in 3 seperate locations, where my current projects are located, suggests it’s on your side. To use the excuse that there is too much traffic is also ridiculous as means you have over sold your network.

  • JulianLittle4Ag
    Julian Little (@JulianLittle4Ag) reported from Little Dunmow, England

    Apologies to anyone who has tried to call me at the back end of this week. Badly let down by the useless service @O2 who are now saying that it will take ANOTHER 3 working days to move my number 🤬.

    @O2 Extremely slow data coverage for the past 3 weeks.... any help?

    Debbie Woodburn (@debbiegaunt) reported

    @dermothill11 @O2 Their customer service, website & apps were so much better prior to their hook up to Virgin Media.

  • Lord_Viridis
    Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported

    @Ofcom @O2 I myself warned them about web issues on myO2 4 months ago, now the app has followed suit and is unusable. All linked to people with multiple accounts. The authentication service is riddled with errors and will loop people into a server configuration error.

  • marcleigh
    Marc (@marcleigh) reported

    @o2 @virginmedia your new sign in method is ridiculous this is 2026 get proper security not this stupid email link to verify

  • CarlEardley2
    Carl Eardley (@CarlEardley2) reported

    @O2 @MarQusRomelle The app is dreadful. I’m trying to pay this morning and it’s horrible. I didn’t realise apps could be built this poorly in 2026…

  • NathanJarvisMD
    Nathan Jarvis (@NathanJarvisMD) reported

    @O2 can you please explain why O2 coverage is pretty much awful anywhere you go? You claim it’s good, but often there’s no internet access and phone signal is intermittent. Search on here to see so many people saying the same. Been the same for well over a year

  • MawJoe
    Joe Maw (@MawJoe) reported

    @O2 your service has been terrible since you amalgamated with Virgin I’ve had my security locked on my account despite several phone calls promising to unlock. This was caused by believe it or not, me wanting to spend money with o2z. Since then I’ve been charged twice for a bill

  • SEAMAC_VALET
    SEA-MAC VALET (@SEAMAC_VALET) reported

    Seriously @O2 turn off 5G as it obviously doesn't work in #Wishaw #NorthLanarkshire

  • Billyhawes
    Billy Hawes (@Billyhawes) reported

    I don’t normally post but is there anything more frustrating than phone signal…. @EE @O2 2026 and in the southwest of England for 250 miles travelling up north. Not one stable phone call. #shambles

  • bmunckton
    Barry Munckton (@bmunckton) reported

    @mhewson_MCH @O2 Or better still. 50gb data for £1.21 a month. Go figure. I didn’t scroll down enough lol. Try beating that. 7 months at that price. No contract.

    @O2 @andrejpwalker Another payment portal issue O2, if only somebody warned you about MyO2 not working, hey?
