  • Rhian1975 Rhian Langham (@Rhian1975) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 shocking attitude of customer service rep. Please get in touch.

  • daunce4thstreet Garry Dauncey (@daunce4thstreet) reported from Pontypridd, Wales

    Never use @O2 recycle! sent them a phone that was in perfect condition & now they say the phone is damaged and are offering peanuts for it. If it’s damaged blame the flimsy packaging you send.

  • CJLittlemore Callum James Littlemore 🔶 (@CJLittlemore) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 I woke up this morning to find I’ve been totally cut off. I can’t make calls, send texts or use my mobile data. All of this is kinda important for my work as I’m self employed - I can’t call your customer service line to see what the issue is. Can you look into it please.

  • Statto1927 Simon Hiscocks (@Statto1927) reported from Barry, Wales

    @O2 It’s CF11 8AZ. ardiff City Stadium. My point is that I can hardly get any connectiveity with a 4G signal showing. Someone sat next to me with EE can connect. Granted it’s a sports stadium but this was 60m before kick off with barley anyone in there. Happens every match 1/2

  • HywelButcher Hywel Butcher (@HywelButcher) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Top tip - don’t join @O2 - incompetent and useless! First no 4G, now no signal or data at all 🤯

  • gingio Shane (@gingio) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @jgfoxy @O2 @ThreeUK Good choice! I love being with 3 and find my signal is much better than that on my work phone which is o2.

  • andrewhillandCo andrew hill (@andrewhillandCo) reported from Abercynon, Wales

    @O2 @JohnnyMercerUK bit late that isn’t it - I think he has just a few followers who may have seen this and your ‘standard good customer response’

  • Bubwal Ade (@Bubwal) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @RobBruceK @ThreeUK @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK No awful. Just spent 5 days with no data/calls due ti Insufficient bandwidth. My family and friends who were with O2/BT/Vodaphone had no problems. Worst ever. So regret leaving previous provider last month. Their coverage checker is inaccurate too

  • Statto1927 Simon Hiscocks (@Statto1927) reported from Barry, Wales

    @O2 2/2 it’s like someone deliberately switches off the internet on match days, but I’m sure that doesn’t happpen.....😉 Signal is perfectly fine there usually, & if it’s vol7me of people, why are other able to connect seems like an O2 thing as my son & daughter also have problems..

  • pwilliamsevents Paul Williams Events (@pwilliamsevents) reported from Tongwynlais, Wales

    Totally disappointed with @O2 customer service. A number transfer from a consumer account to business took 8 days when I was told it would take 24 hours. 3 phone calls to customer service and still not 100% sorted. #totallycrapexperience

  • LisardoVivas Lisardo Vivas (@LisardoVivas) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 @tig1985 I’m in cardiff with same issue

  • StephenADwyer The Dwyer Identify (F) (@StephenADwyer) reported from Caerleon, Wales

    @O2 No signal for two , now on the third day , all your help lines etc are busy , no support or help , not the best customer service but you will still take my money , not impressed at all

  • gavinlew Gavin Lewandowski (@gavinlew) reported from Butetown Community, Wales

    @ee need to kick a few cells around the Cardiff arena tonight very poor 4g coverage had to switch to your neighbours at @o2 for connectivity

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

  • callumcrowley Callum Crowley (@callumcrowley) reported from Liswerry, Wales

    @O2 customer service is the worst - transferring me to the sales team knowing they’re closed to fix an error that’s theirs. Can’t wait to change providers - pathetic

  • pwilliamsevents Paul Williams Events (@pwilliamsevents) reported from Tongwynlais, Wales

    @jolilford @O2 Your kidding me!!! I have contacted customer services 3 or 4 times. Shocking service

  • jamieriddell Jamie Riddell (@jamieriddell) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Hey @O2 who can I talk to about unlocking a phone. I've paid up and out of contact. Online form says no because of too many attempts ( no idea what my customer service code was) but I have all my account details.

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @teamIPSE Without a doubt! And phone signal! It is appalling how bad the signal is in parts of the UK outside of London! I am 4 minutes from the Cardiff city centre with no signal! #howareyoumeanttorunabusiness @o2networks @O2 @giffgaff

  • ThisIsDanGuy Dan Guy (@ThisIsDanGuy) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 sucks that reduced the number of cafe Nero codes 😡

  • vci1979 Vicky (@vci1979) reported

    @O2 what has happened in the Waterloo /Crosby area? In the past 6 months whilst I'm here at work my signal doesn't go past 1 bar. My daughter is here today with her phone and hers is the same. I can't make phone calls incase it cuts out.

  • sjward06 Simon (@sjward06) reported

    @O2 hi have lost access to WiFi on TFL. It says I may need to top up even though I still have credit on my account and my bundle has been taken as usual. I have also topped up but still have same issues? Can you help please

  • BluesLafayette Lafayette Blues (@BluesLafayette) reported

    @SEGAotaku @O2 Oh mate, it’s not just today. Where I live (Southport) half the town now struggles for signal and even sodding 3G.

  • PaulJessop Paul Jessop (@PaulJessop) reported

    @O2 why is it that my phone says it is a 4g signal but can't download anything? And don't start me about the 5g myth.

  • jensneddys Jennie Stickland (@jensneddys) reported

    @O2 your customer service is terrible , I have been waiting for two days for you to sort out your error. 2 days with no work phone !! No communication and when I do ring I just get told to wait for 24hrs. Even though it’s been 48 now !!

  • GekstacyMusic ɢᴇᴋꜱᴛᴀᴄʏ (@GekstacyMusic) reported

    @Ma77Austin @ThreeUK @O2 Wait they HAD a discount? I’ve been with three for 5 years and I never knew that??🙄

  • joeburgermusic burger moretti (@joeburgermusic) reported

    Hello @EE will you buy me out of my @O2 contract cos their phone signal can just get in the bin 🚮

  • optimismsflames Number 6 (@optimismsflames) reported

    @O2 @KemiBadenoch …or waiting for ‘permission from a landlord to enter a site’ which has undergone planned maintenance throughout the year without access issues. Still no date for work to be started or completed for our community. Still paying our bills for no service.

  • DC_InjuryClinic Danny Clayton (@DC_InjuryClinic) reported

    @O2 Hey - can you tell me what “Thanks for the message. Configure your number's SMS URL to change this message.Reply HELP for help.Reply STOP to unsubscribe.Msg&Data rates may apply.” means? I’m trying to text from Greece to UK? Tia

  • Beardy_Hutch Ian Hutchinson (@Beardy_Hutch) reported

    @neilnellie @O2 Same with @vodafone mate, both have shabby coverage in large parts of the country. Their network coverage maps are the work of Enid Blyton
