    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    @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?

    @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?

    @O2 when are you going to fix the mobile signal in Manchester? Hardly anything in the city centre and I need to rely on Wi-Fi. Definitely not worth what I’m currently paying for it

  • 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

    @WilJudkins @EE Im on @O2 the date coverage is absolute terrible. Minus a random field in Donnington.

    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

  • ZackHallam
    Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    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

    @O2 account locked for security issues? I’ve called multiple times and always told a ticket has been raised yet next time I phone they know nothing! 2 month + this is going on for now! Account for 16 years - ridiculous service!

  • fgz176
    Freddiefrazer (@fgz176) reported

    @O2 my account was locked for unknown reasons 2 months ago. 6 calls and 6 promises to sort later it is still locked. You have the worst customer services of any company I’ve dealt with

  • tonywelsby
    Tony Welsby (@tonywelsby) reported

    @Worly82 @O2 Was on O2 for a few years after leaving EE (after over 25 years) for ‘a deal’. Became terrible after the merger with Virgin. Thankfully was on a sim only rolling contract and managed to get out. Awful farmed out customer services.

    @geek_gareth @TheGriftReport @O2 The best telephone service I ever received was when I called Microsoft in Seattle with a question about Windows 98.

  • jwhitehead90
    Whitehead (@jwhitehead90) reported

    @O2 I have tried 7 times and getting nowhere. I get promised call backs and they never happen. I just repeat myself on the phone for 15 minutes then someone hangs up on me when they say they are getting a manager. I need someone to reach out to me to resolve

  • SharonaJazzie
    Sharona (@SharonaJazzie) reported

    @leemcbr37826036 @O2 The call centre is where the scammers are. We tried the store and they said they couldn't help it had to be done via customer service. Something fishy going on with @o2.

    @O2 been sitting in one of your stores for nearly an hour now, trying to make an insurance claim, the in shop service is excellent but your systems are totally useless, online claim doesn’t work passed to 4 different people on the phone and even your staff here are frustrated

  • asacannell
    Asa Cannell (@asacannell) reported

    @O2 why is the reception to abysmal in Norwich? And by ‘abysmal’ I mean non existent. Worst decision ever to renew my contract with you.
