    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.

  • ecgdave

    @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!

  • 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

  • ShanRebec94
    Shannon (@ShanRebec94) reported from Sale, England

    @chlo3matthewman @O2 @viagogo Tickets on there for over a £1000 now, O2 clearly weren’t experiencing issues with ticket demand unless you were an ordinary customer who wanted them at face value. Very very poor

  • Gsd1Omara
    Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

  • Julio_Afonso522
    Julio Afonso 🇲🇿 🇵🇹 🇪🇺🇨🇭 (@Julio_Afonso522) reported from Manchester, England

    @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?

  • jessslee_

    @O2 hi, my mobile date isn’t working and hasn’t been for some hours. No issues in area, and everything looks normal, please help 🥱

  • 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.

    @O2 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

  • oit_andy
    Andy Reynolds (@oit_andy) reported

    @kokeshimum @O2 Yep, I live in Milnrow, signal is fine there but if I drive up Huddersfield road or Todmorden road the signal completely disappears. It’s hilarious when they add another number to the “G” when some places in the U.K. haven’t event got 1G.

  • princesstash617
    Tasha 🦄 (@princesstash617) reported

    @O2 the company that ask you a suitable time that call back, ensure or promise to call you back at that time and you never hear anything until you phone again. 5 times now, getting a bit frustrating to say the least.

  • Gabriella1919x
    Gabriella (@Gabriella1919x) reported

    @Frugal_ways @O2 It's a nightmare I have been trying for 3 days to pay and the website doesn't work at all, can't go through my o2, Google or anything tried incognito want to set up direct debit. They are just ignoring my messages now. Total joke

  • Uncle_C_J
    Chris (@Uncle_C_J) reported

    @xxxxminniex @O2 This happened to my elderly mum, too! A few months in a row. I kicked off with O2. They did help out and refund a good chunk of it. Then I put a spend cap of £0 on. It stops all the premium rate things like this happening.

  • planetf1
    Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported

    @ajgbarnes @O2 don’t they have a price-cap anyway (certainly ee and voda do) so you could set that to 0,or low. So at worst would just stop working. You could get an esim to top up if needed. that being said crazy to not have a way of checking

  • MrBazza
    MrBazza 🎬 (@MrBazza) reported

    @O2 I have 3 mobile lines alongside volt package @VirginMedia broadband and an open complaint about contract rates. Your app is quoting me much more than what I currently pay! With Volt double data, I only need a low base plan. Please DM me to sort a fair deal.

    @pmiddy78 @VodafoneUK @O2 Don't do it you'll regret it , been trying to upgrade for weeks and can't . Signal is awful .

  • synceduk
    Steven (@synceduk) reported

    Hi, I have recently joined @O2 on PAYG and topped up and ported my number in. Why am I getting an error when trying to log in to Priority followed by a text message telling me to top up to continue enjoying Priority? I am a new customer.

  • _unidropout
    uni drop-out✨ (@_unidropout) reported

    @O2 I’ve tried everything that your website recommends on every occasion that I have no service… however I shouldn’t have to The service should work 99% of the time and it doesn’t. My contract is up in less than a month so I’ll be likely finding something new!
