  • SteveVanDang
    Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

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

    Kinda wonder why I use @O2 when their mobile signal in central Manchester is barely functioning. Continually timing out, drops connection 😡

  • millswarrior
    Clare Louise Mills (@millswarrior) reported from Golborne, England

    Boring trip in to work this morning because my phone isn’t connecting to any 4G, and nothing will load on 3G so can’t check @O2 network status

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @BattyeB @EE I'm afraid I can't recommend @O2 even if they have good coverage where you are... you can't get any service from them. Been trying to get through for an hour this time #notfitforourpose

  • 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

  • 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?

  • sonnisamosa
    Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

  • anthonyewbank
    MUFC689908 (@anthonyewbank) reported from Middleton, England

    I'd like to make a complaint @O2

  • MattyHenno
    Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @O2 How are customers buying them when there’s no way of accessing your app or your browser version? You’re advertising a service that you’re not providing. Answers please

  • 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.

  • 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??

  • KerryOw80160432
    Kerry Owen (@KerryOw80160432) reported from Westhoughton, England

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

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

    Pathetic service at @O2 moving networks over 20 years

  • kellyvmckeown
    Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England

    Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

  • 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?

  • AtlasSailing
    🇬🇷Atlas Sailing🇬🇧 (@AtlasSailing) reported from Westhoughton, England

    @O2 Work was meant to be completed last week! Do I move to a better mobile company or are you going to improve the service???

  • aflanagancarter
    Amy Rowland (@aflanagancarter) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 what is with no service in Manchester?! So bad and un safe!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • matchstickstorm
    v (@matchstickstorm) reported

    @O2 why is it so hard to upgrade my sim now? 1st of all, the “upgrade” options are ridiculously expensive and filled with **** i dont want/need, second- i went for a proper “upgrade” plan so i can keep my number, said i was switching to android but youve just changed my tariff?

  • MattHuddyHudson
    Matt Hudson (@MattHuddyHudson) reported

    @DiscoEnergy @O2 After 20+ years I'm just considering going to take out a deal elsewhere . Can get a better deal being a new customer .

  • adelevaughanxo
    Adele Vaughan (@adelevaughanxo) reported

    @O2 can someone please contact me about an ongoing complaint! I cannot get a clear answer from anyone 🤯

  • Frugal_ways
    Deano... (@Frugal_ways) reported

    @O2 There was no outage in Burnley, nor Horwich (right next to a 5g mast!) a day later. Tried the old airport mode reset, plus phone reset, neither worked. Got home, works fine. Little point paying for a mobile service if it only works when I'm home.

  • squigly1971
    Squigly (@squigly1971) reported

    Try dealing with @O2 when something goes wrong abroad. They failed to provide the service I renewed my contracts for, then turned it into a catalogue of poor advice, broken promises, endless delays and a complaints process that doesn’t even work. Completely unacceptable.

  • NC20023
    Rob Cur (@NC20023) reported

    @O2 why oh why have you made it so damned difficult to login to my account now that Virgin Media are involved ! All I want to do is login to my account the old fashioned way without the need to check my email, return to the original page etc…..

  • Frugal_ways
    Deano... (@Frugal_ways) reported

    @O2 Website crashing - after displaying payment screen - tried on three browsers now. Thought it was the authorisation issue, default email opening a browser that no longer works with website. Changed default browser on email, it worked, but payment confirmation screen crashed.

  • deanyboy80
    Dean Noble (@deanyboy80) reported
