    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • Andy_TheGrouch
    Andy (@Andy_TheGrouch) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 no chance i’m renewing, genuinely shite network coverage, cant make call when driving without it sounding like someone is under water & call failing. Mast been down in Ashton for over a week. Phone basically useless. Troubleshooting links are pointless - not good enough.

    @O2 Why are you refusing a contract to a new customer just because they don't have a credit score? Person working full time with a good pay, bank account. Why refusing a contract?

  • clare_jeffs
    Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

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

  • RJakesEU
    Rob 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RJakesEU) reported from Manchester, England

    haha, just had an (obviously scam) phone call from someone who claimed to be from @O2 … when they asked how the service was and I said it was poor, they hung up

    Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

    Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

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

  • DamonHoward17
    Damon Howard (@DamonHoward17) reported from Abram, England

    @O2 worst customer service in the world! Absolutely useless!

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @O2 your network coverage across the UK is awful: there’s about one street in Manchester where I get a useable 4G signal and nowhere else. Definitely isn’t my devise as I’ve just been aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • kea11y
    Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

    @EuropeanBob7 @O2 Gone right down hill o2, used to be decent. ******* hard work now.

    ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

  • thefirkinbar
    The Firkin (@thefirkinbar) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @WilJudkins @EE Im on @O2 the date coverage is absolute terrible. Minus a random field in Donnington.

    @O2 hi guys, I've not had a signal for 2 weeks, got a sick relative and a signal, please help!! Post code BL52LF

  • BlennerK

    Hello @O2 is there a problem with the network? My calls aren’t going through.

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • ecgdave
    Dave Johnson (@ecgdave) reported from Edenfield, England

    @O2 hello upgraded my phone last week and submitted a sim swap request that's still not been actioned in over 24hrs is there an issue?

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • katieh1015
    kt (@katieh1015) reported

    @O2 I really need help from someone at o2 who knows what’s going on. I opened a contract with the promise from staff in-store that if I called up HQ after purchasing the phone I would get 20% off my airtime by joining it with my partner from the same household.

  • Happyengland79
    Shana Hendry (@Happyengland79) reported

    So two different ombudsman to get you sorted @O2. You've admitted you're at fault by way of a refund, that you never processed, but I have the email. Also the data hasn't worked for most of May too so nothing was resolved in the complaint. #evidenceforombudsman

  • 88TomTom
    Tom Tom (@88TomTom) reported

    @O2 Can someone please help sort an issue. I’ve been waiting over 3weeks and the call centre said there nothing they can do and have submitted a new ticket and I need to wait another 2weeks! CIT-A399507 & CIT-A407913.

    There's nothing more infuriating than the @O2 signal in Blackpool

  • HarryCollins9
    Harry Collins (@HarryCollins9) reported

    @O2 I’ve had no signal/data for days. Looks like a common problem?

  • barton6435
    Craig Barton (@barton6435) reported

    @O2 The network checker is equally useless. You check it says you should have great signal but you never do.

  • cryptoesim
    CryptoeSIM.io (@cryptoesim) reported

    @ungodlywheesa @O2 Most phones made after 2018 support eSIMs tbh! iPhone XR and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3a and up... What phone are you rocking? We might be able to help you figure it out

  • brainmcmillan
    brian mcmillan (@brainmcmillan) reported

    @O2 Duh. The issue is the recorded message from your network telling me that my phone is blocked despite your staff telling me that my account is not in arrears and my DD was taken on the 11th without issue.

  • Proj65
    Steve Nunn (@Proj65) reported

    @O2 @Propermister89 Hi. When I call your support number I am redirected to top up my account. There are no options to get help with activating a new SIM card. Plus the system does not recognize main debit card number, so I cannot top up the account either. The phone number 202 didn't work Help
