O2 Issues Reports Near Bolton, England

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

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

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

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • 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 device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

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

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • Mhamp84 Myles Hampson (@Mhamp84) reported from Hindley, England

    @Clf88 @O2 Yeah it’s been fine , vodaphone network . I buy the phone out right and just pay for data

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • StevenB93941279 Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

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

  • 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.

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

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

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

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

    @O2 Also sorry - but what’s the point in telling me to use a network checker if you don’t accept the results of the checker? That’s literally your app I’m using and it’s giving me terrible results.

  • 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.

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

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

    @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

    Hi @O2 - just tried to use a QR priority code at @GreggsOfficial but they told me the machine was broken (after taking my order). Can you assist please?

  • alex_walland Alex Walland (@alex_walland) reported

    @O2 hey any update on disney codes not working

  • Jameshickmott86 deepwoke (@Jameshickmott86) reported

    How ******** do i speak to a human @O2 Every number is automated to a payment line- for a bill ive already paid!!! Utterly, totally useless, arent you?

  • sennaf15 Paul Rawding (@sennaf15) reported

    @O2 why is my phone showing full bars for 4g and yet I have zero internet? Hmmmm! Is it because your service is shockingly terrible??

  • _EmilyDrew Emily Drew (@_EmilyDrew) reported

    Still waiting @O2? To send a holding tweet and then still nothing is not customer service. New customer here who is likely to cancel all together. Awful service

  • CharlieLBrennan Charlie (@CharlieLBrennan) reported

    @O2 promo code for £10 off disney doesnt work for me please help

  • sunshineinwelsh Heulwen (@sunshineinwelsh) reported

    @O2 Let me clarify, the problem is not that the code is accepted but £10 is not being deducted. The system is saying the actual code is wrong and not letting it be submitted. But it was just what pasted in from the o2priority app. There’s no extra spaces or anything.

  • Jameshickmott86 deepwoke (@Jameshickmott86) reported

    @Ginger_Demelza @O2 Yer, o2 has gone down the pan. Beyond woeful

  • mct999 Matthew Thomson (@mct999) reported

    Recently had quite the experience changing my mobile provider to @o2 ordered on 24th Nov and it has taken 3 weeks to have a hopefully have a fully functioning service. Due to delays caused by o2 and royal mail strikes. I received my first bill before I received the new sim.

  • TrevB26 Trevor Barraclough (@TrevB26) reported

    @O2 what would cost be to cancel contract before expiry date
