  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • 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.

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @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?

  • franlatics27 Fran Edwards (@franlatics27) reported from Garswood, England

    @O2 can you refund me my monthly payment as all the masts in wigan are down and have been for weeks....thanks

  • 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.

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

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

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

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

  • 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?

  • JMcKnighty ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

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

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

  • 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

  • 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 ?!

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • 6danicalifornia Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported 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 😡😡

  • markowens726 Mark Owens (@markowens726) reported from Bacup, England

    @O2 Unfortunately I can't change it on the Link because I'm unable to sign in to my account with an incorrect email address

  • SawdayJames James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

  • iainkernaghan Iain (@iainkernaghan) reported

    @O2 More than 36 hours into the less than 24 hours to swap my number over to the new sim... still new phone says "no sim" (its in it) old phone stopped virtually instantly. We'll send you a text to verify... cheers O2, i trust you will not charge me for days with no service?

  • thesandylicious Sandy Rabino (@thesandylicious) reported

    @O2 How come setting a spend cap to 0 is the reason why I can’t call any O2 short numbers and voicemail not working? Tech support asked me to try changing spend cap to £5 and obviously I refused as 0 cap means no extra spendings.

  • Livsdadad Adam Wilson (@Livsdadad) reported

    @O2 what’s up with signal currently? Having a nightmare with my emails not downloading

  • gerwyn Gerwyn (@gerwyn) reported from Manchester, England

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

  • Rich25101980 Rich 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Rich25101980) reported

    @virginmedia Other people have the same issue with @O2 when in the area… It’s ok I’ll just change network as advised by your staff unless if there’s something that can be done?

  • Claire_Edberg Claire C🌹 (@Claire_Edberg) reported

    @O2 Hi, i never answer 0845/0843 numbers. Im getting an increasing amount going straight to 901. I report every one to 7726 and block.

  • BenjaminLappin Benjamin Lappin (@BenjaminLappin) reported

    @O2 I have sent you a DM on this matter. I sincerely hope this gets addressed because there is clearly an issue in store.

  • johndfahy John Fahy ⭐️ (@johndfahy) reported

    @leemc87 @O2 Don’t even bother to try and make a call in North Devon… haven’t had a decent O2 signal in literally years

  • BSIntollerant MindYour Business (@BSIntollerant) reported

    @O2 @GoodThingsFdn @virginmedia Would get connected, but your customer service is rubbish. Claims to work until 21:00 pm but automated hangup at literal 20:00. Useless.

  • MikeHewitt07 Mike Hewitt (@MikeHewitt07) reported

    @O2 how come your customer service team don’t have access to accounts? I’ve raised an issue, sent details through and now I’m being asked for screenshots of details…surely they have access to everything on screen or is it a fake customer service email on your website?
