  • TimPartridge2 {{{Tim}}} (@TimPartridge2) reported from Manchester, England

  • Kimbow21 Mrs K E (@Kimbow21) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 Hi, yes I’ve spoken to someone but it’s still not sorted out . I’ve to ring back again which is awful. I was sent the wrong phone I sent it back Monday and it’s still not been received . I paid my last phone off so I could upgrade . I’ve been billed fo the wrong phone as well .

    Never been discouraged from upgrading my phone before, perhaps @O2 know something i don't

  • poppymarello Poppy Marello (@poppymarello) reported from Manchester, England

    The only network where it's impossible to get signal in Manchester City Centre @O2

  • kates2091 Kate Elliott (@kates2091) reported from Salford, England

    The problem with @O2 marketing messages will always be that my reaction to them is to swear at my phone and say ‘It’s not even possible for me to have used up my data yet’. And then I don’t read them. #ThoughtOfTheDay #TuesdayThoughts

  • sophielordx1 Sophie🙋‍♀️ (@sophielordx1) reported from Bury, England

    Mad how i pay 80 quid a month for a phone on @O2 that never ****** works. Full signal and 4g but yet i have no internet connection🤔🤔 silly *****

  • jayymieemcd Jamie Mcdonald (@jayymieemcd) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 still 100% sure you are still the worst network! Yet i still pay a ridiculous amount of money for a service i very rarely get!!!!

  • gazmax01 Gary Leeson (@gazmax01) reported from Stockport, England

    I feel like throwing my iPhone and Apple Watch out the ******* window 6 weeks my problem has been going on and all you tell me is I will have another update in a week and proceed to tell me you rang me yesterday liesssssss sort it or I am moving Vodafone @O2

  • EllieLouisaaa Ellie Louisa 🧜🏻‍♀️🦩💫 (@EllieLouisaaa) reported from Hindley, England

    @O2 spoke to at least 3 people a day in a week and my phone still isn’t working. very unhappy with your service and that every single person I have spoken to has told me something different. I don’t trust you as a company and im praying that they release me from contract #OverO2

  • Matt_Aspden NOW 40 (@Matt_Aspden) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I have found out there are issues with the local mast causing outage.

  • DidymusBrush Paul Holmes (@DidymusBrush) reported from Manchester, England

    Got tickets for Skunk Anansie via @O2 Priority but they are etickets with no physical counterpart. Presale elsewhere has physical tickets for same price, and I can't help but wish I'd known about that one instead. I have almost all my ticket stubs for the last 2 decades!

  • dondon_w Donna (@dondon_w) reported from Manchester, England

    @craigrookleeds @O2 I need my network because this contract ends tomorrow ffs

  • JohnAHallam66 John Hallam (@JohnAHallam66) reported from Manchester, England

    @o2. You just cut me off. Monday, you've used 80% of your data. Ok, 6 days to go. Fine. Thursday, cut off. Time to change provider, after many years. Really piss poor service.

  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Salford, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK I have been with them around 15 years too and I can’t even message people sometimes in the city centre. They offer absolutely no help whatsoever just same old bullshit replies

  • suemcgran Sue McGranaghan (@suemcgran) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 That’s true - friends I have who are on other networks don’t have this problem so not sure it’s because it’s busy x

  • Shell_Boudin86 Michelle Boudin (@Shell_Boudin86) reported from Bury, England

    @JoJo_P_87 @O2 Not that I ever win them lol but would be nice to actually have something around the north west if I was to win .. Although never had an #O2Surprise either and been a customer 15yrs lol

  • MDOG_Manchester Manchester Dining Offers (@MDOG_Manchester) reported from Manchester, England

    @oneladyshow @O2 @EE @VodafoneUK Honestly, couldn’t even send this tweet in city centre if I was on O2 Something about a mast being down. For three years. Simple reason is, they don’t have enough coverage here so they lie about it.

  • JonNutten Jon Nutten (@JonNutten) reported from Salford, England

    Think it’s time to go to @ThreeUK well over a decade with @O2 / @o2businessuk and they not really fussed about loyalty, customer service. The line used ‘it is what it is’ when I spoke to them about my contract options. 😂😂

  • Andfie Andrew Fielding (@Andfie) reported from Bolton, England

    Delighted to announce this household is now an @O2 free zone. Finally rid of their shocking customer service and outrageous roaming fees. #ikeepmyword

  • Beat_AMR_Bugs Dr Vicky Enne 🇪🇺 (@Beat_AMR_Bugs) reported

    @O2 I’m having issues with my data roaming - it’s not working at all on either of my numbers. Never had an issue before. Can you please help?

  • THEWHITLAM THEWHITLAM (@THEWHITLAM) reported

    @O2 over the past 5 years the 02 data signal in Scarborough has got worse. Apparently they’re working on it … do any other carriers offer an excellent data signal in Scarborough ?

  • 1555Kirsty j.kirsty.j (@1555Kirsty) reported

    @O2 Well that's kinda stupid so I've lost out totally cos I can't get anything now if the voucher isn't used then it should be available to use another one cos it hasn't been used

  • hihiimaminorr im not not a minor (@hihiimaminorr) reported

    @O2 your customer service is absolutely useless, i was told to wait 24 hours for my sim to activate. then i was told that i would have to go into store to activate however i can’t do that as the contract is under my dads name. i can’t change the details so they are in my name

  • katyguest36912 Katy Guest (@katyguest36912) reported

    @O2 @O2 please will you let me know how to contact someone about this? I'm appreciative of your colleagues' help in DMs but I can't wait 12 hours between replies or I won't get this resolved for days. Please can I call a help centre or something?

  • fernsforays Fern (@fernsforays) reported

    @O2 any eta on when the mast will be fixed covering CB25 area? Can't use 2fa to access online accounts! It's not the first time recently it has gone down.

  • SoNowUknow2 James (@SoNowUknow2) reported

    @O2 I have an iphone that I have had for years and I now find it is locked to O2. I was using a giffgaff sim so no problem until now. I want to unlock the iphone to any network as a backup. I do not have an O2 account. Can you help me unlock my iphone?

  • EdFurnell Ed Furnell (@EdFurnell) reported

    Hey @O2 quick question. Why is it sometimes easier if I switch down to 3G for my internet to work when travelling on a train. Often my phone says it has signal and 4G… but actually there is no internet connection. It’s 2022. Is it too much to ask for signal everywhere?

  • SmallCharityFR Fiza #BehindYouSkipper (@SmallCharityFR) reported

    @O2 hi, I just tried using a priority code for Odeon and it’s not working

  • CMorgan1993 Craig Morgan (@CMorgan1993) reported

    @o2 I cannot believe the shocking customer service I have received from@this company, I’ve had an issue since April and was told to get a sim replacement…the person didn’t even look at the area and there’s a mast down which wouldn’t work with a new sim anyway
