  Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported 5 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  Violet (@violetibeh) reported 11 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  Keally (@kea11y) reported 15 minutes ago 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.

  Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported 16 minutes ago from Horwich, England

  I really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡

  @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

  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

• 
  Craig (@CA_Speaky) reported 18 minutes ago 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

• 
  James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported 21 minutes ago 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 device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  @biteme_brighton @O2 @leemc87 It’s awful in Manchester

  This Christmas, @O2 is donating data to those who need it. For every tweet using #O2DataPledge this Giving Tuesday, they'll donate even more data to the National Databank. Tap below to tweet your support 👇

  @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

  Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported 35 minutes ago from Walkden, England

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

• 
  Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported 36 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with

  @O2 sort your **** signal out, £70 a month for this bullshit

• 
  Ian Gee (@laticsian) reported 39 minutes ago from Chorley, England

  @O2 You've had a ****** stinker there haven't you. Website down all day for your #O2Priority. Gigs and Tours have allowed people to buy their tickets while your shitshow has allowed 1000's to miss out on tickets. Bravo!

• 
  Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported 48 minutes ago from Bury, England

  Oh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!

• 
  Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported 48 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

• 
  Abi (@AbiClarey) reported 51 minutes ago 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

  Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported 54 minutes ago from Stockport, England

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

  @Demodya @O2 same problem here just getting bounced between both 🤦

  Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported 10 minutes ago

  @kirstygc1 @O2 Hasn't worked for months if honest, I told them about the fault 4 months ago and they still won't fix it as it only affects % of customers. It's shocking. Look through my old posts to O2 to see how bad. There's even a ticket open ref CIT-A390334 about it, never called me back

  @O2 what are the hours of your live chat support please? I need to speak to someone but I don’t have time to wait 3 hours on live chat this morning so I wanna know if I’ll have time this evening?

  @O2 Hi, I have been in Guadeloupe, French West Indies since February 23rd 2026. I got a text saying I have a maximum of 25 GB of roaming allowance included in my tariff. My 02 app doesn't work anymore so I can't monitor my usage. Can you help me see where I am at?

  Darryl Saul (@DarrylSaul79) reported 22 minutes ago

  @EnglandRugby @O2 Tell your arrogant, disrespectful poster boy Pollard.. that we are waiting on him in SA. Make him fully aware that his bullshit shenanigans **** wound be tolerated. In the same breath.. we also waiting on the "KANT" Tom Curry, who disrespected Felipe Contepomi. You are warned!🫵
