  • violetibeh
    Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  • elgobsucram
    Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

    @O2 Hi can I have some help please, it’s not allowing me to send you a DM.

  • StevePickupTM
    Stephen Pickup (@StevePickupTM) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    20 years with @O2 and this will be my last contract with them come September the staff in the Blackburn store need a lesson in salesmanship when sat in front of a customer looking down at their phone texting is not a great way of convincing people to stay with the network

  • springviewer
    John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

  • ConnorByron2
    Byron (@ConnorByron2) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I have pretty much zero chance of getting 4G/3G anywhere I go in the country being on your network. Why? Paying for service I do not get

  • 1joharrington
    Jo Harrington (@1joharrington) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 UK 5G is dreadful. Third-party user testing from Opensignal and Ookla showed that the everyday user experience in the UK is among the worst in the developed world. 40% of the time your phone shows the "5G" icon in the UK, it is actually running on older 4G infrastructure.

  • Afine849962
    Afine (@Afine849962) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @vodafone Nope never had any issues with the EE signal or network.

  • vinzthinks
    Vinod SK (@vinzthinks) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 It is shameful , utterly irresponsible that UK has one of the worst quality of infrastructure.. across Europe , Asia , it is vastly superior including countries as India where usage is so high ..this has to be priority #1 especially as you throw down the drain money on HS2 etc

  • Jaxstad
    ᗪᗩᐯE (@Jaxstad) reported

    @O2 Tried doing that before… that didn't help me either

  • Quelpanama
    Quelpanama (@Quelpanama) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Yet another issue where we have to think back to Tom’s time in Kabul liaising between MI6 and the SAS. Apparently sitting behind a desk in a building yards away from a communication mast he got a good signal. So heroic!

  • jayrodgerson

    @O2 why is it so hard to do anything on your app. It's embarrassing that your app is so bad

  • tobybmth
    Toby #FBPE #FBPA (@tobybmth) reported

    @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Yes there is a massive problem with phone signal however it didn’t start in July 2024. What were you all upto? Were you busy virtue signalling?

  • BenjaminEHowe
    Ben (@BenjaminEHowe) reported

    @AndyFurnival2 @TomTugendhat @O2 It was better when there were fewer mobile devices competing for the same signal.

    @O2 Great - so the spammers have more responsive customer service than O2?
