  • 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?

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

    @O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout

  • ZackHallam

    Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  • CA_Speaky
    Craig (@CA_Speaky) reported from Wigan, England

    @WAFCWill @O2 Exactly the same mate… whether it’s in Wigan , Blackpool , Manchester or Liverpool. Always shocking service. Hardly any signal !! Poor service

  • 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??

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

    @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 🥴

    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

  • howierice
    Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • liammcdon97
    Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

    Emma (@emmashakeshaft0) reported

    @O2 I am trying to speak to agent on online chat but it is saying I need to open the 02 app to speak to someone but I am no longer a customer so cannot do this.

  • CraiginKent
    Craig (@CraiginKent) reported

    @O2 does anyone want a free @iphone 17 Pro because I have tried to return this new handset to O2 four times and they completely screw up the collection of handset. I’ve also tried calling 02 to discuss four times and their customer services are inept. I’m giving it away now.

    Andy Sherratt (@andyps1275) reported

    @Osprey0 @O2 Used to be that Virgin were the go-to for being the customer champion, since they merged with O2 that isn't the case. Puts me off moving home internet to them.

    @O2 when is the mast issue going to be fixed that affects BR49LX. Been going on for weeks now, all the updates say is that it will be fixed soon, weeks isn’t soon.

    The good thing about being on @O2 is that I didn’t get that emergency message about BBQs because as usual I have no ******* phone signal in my house!

  • SarahWM45
    Sarah H (@SarahWM45) reported

    Two years of no service from @O2. Two years of paying two contracts to them despite this. And still they want £189 early exit fee. Have been waiting 2 weeks for a call back!! Lots of promises, no call. Yet have received an enforcement notice!! Intentional possibly?@MartinSLewis?
