    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?

  • 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

  • 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 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?

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • 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.

  • AlexHamer1
    Alex Hamer (@AlexHamer1) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 why has my 4G mysteriously stopped working just as my 2 year contract expires? I’m currently on a rolling contract at reduced rate. Seems very odd it would all of a sudden cut out completely?

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

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

    @monzo Thanks, I tried the chat option but it was just the AI assistant that wasn’t much help. Have since googled it and see you’re using the O2 network. Unfortunately in the 6yrs since I left @O2 they’ve still not brought 5G to west wales.! Which is a deal breaker.

  • mattsprake
    𝙼𝙰𝚃𝚃 𝚂𝙿𝚁𝙰𝙺𝙴 (@mattsprake) reported

    @O2 Nah.. it’s ok.. I’ve had enough! Today I switched to @EE after being your customer for around 20 years! Your customers deserve MUCH MUCH better and it’s not just the signal! It’s just about everything! While in the store two more people switched over as well.. I’d say you guys are in big trouble!

  • RachelBrennan1
    arby (@RachelBrennan1) reported

    @O2 I've not had any signal since the 5th Ive had a couple of service status texts as I signed up. This not acceptable. Being a female alone I need my phone to be working when I'm out of the house. Will I be refunded for this poor service? Please respond.

  • livscloud

    in honour of ariana’s london shows starting can we talk about how @O2 encourages overnight camping by making the priority queue only the first 100 people? it’s advertised as “skip the queues” yet you’re encouraging camping with this stupid rule. shame on you

  • NileshGThanki
    Nilesh Thanki (@NileshGThanki) reported

    Looking for resolution from @O2 been having ongoing signal and network problems since joining in December 2025. Live in EN1, Enfield. Complaint after complaint and still no resolution. Why pay for a service if we are not receiving it. Can’t make basic calls in our own home!

    @mattsprake @O2 @EE I also left 02 after 15 years and went to EE even on full signal phone hardly ever worked. EE far better with more 5G

    @O2 why is it taking over a month to sort out a issue with one of your masts you just keep sending out notifications saying update in seven days

    @O2 not a single child at the Boomtown festival on the O2 network has any coverage or is able to contact their family

    Steve Joyce (@SteveJoyce14) reported

    @O2 Apart from resetting network settings I tried everything else, switching phone off and on, switching mobile date on and on. You can see from what others are saying (especially the person saying he lives near the ground and has had problems in last few days) 1/2
