    @O2 Are you able to confirm, without directing me to your website (which doesn’t answer my question and does not help) when 5G will be available in Manchester? Thank you

    @O2 is the 4G signal across the country still being limited due to covid?

  • DaveBisgrove Dave Bisgrove (@DaveBisgrove) reported from Manchester, England

    1st prize for worst customer service goes to Vodafone. Lied too 3 times, spent a 70mins on chat then to be told to call 191 only to sit on hold for 40mins... I’m done with their ****. any other mobile providers want my business? @VodafoneUK @EE @O2

  • katarn_a1 David Moores (@katarn_a1) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 hello I have dropped my phone and need it repaired or replaced because the back of has a crack in it .my local shop is closed down so how can I do this

  • emmabirdy Em (@emmabirdy) reported from Blackburn, England

    @O2 what’s going on with your network around the Bb2 area of blackburn? Had poor signal for several days but according to you you’ve either fixed it or there is no issues. #rubbish #needsignal

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 when will the 4G signal be back to normal working order? Is COVID still a factor in this? I'm sure the signal strength was cut short due to more people working at home etc.

  • lizzielichfield Anna Taylor (@lizzielichfield) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 Morning, I got a free subscription to @calm when upgrading which shows on my account however no instructions how to access & it’s not linking to my @calm app. Please help.

  • _Mikki1993 Mikki (@_Mikki1993) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 I phoned and the woman I spoke with said the amount showing in 'usage cost' was my overall bill as opposed to being in addition to what was showed under 'handset cost' which I've never know to be the case before. Is this correct?

  • DW26707385 D.W (@DW26707385) reported from Risley, England

    Still problems in @O2 @O2AcademyLeeds

  • Rebeckikia Rebecca Chesworth (@Rebeckikia) reported from Manchester, England

  • sophiemaycath soph 🌞 (@sophiemaycath) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 trying to pay my phone bill and it's saying my Monzo bank card isn't an accepted payment method, tried using my Barclays but it's saying payment not working when I have the dolla in my bank? Xx

  • LucyLoopy86 Lucy Willis (@LucyLoopy86) reported from Standish, England

    @O2 I am so upset with how I haven’t been helped by you .... you have left me in a worst situation .... Getting told different thing by each customer service member ... and to top it off having a member of your team hang up on me ..... Disgusting ....

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @lmjwoww @O2 Exactly... their response didn’t help at all as I had already been on their website. I would say they don’t currently have 5G in Manchester. Contradicting the info on the website. 😡

  • x_Saz Sarah Pollard (@x_Saz) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 you’ve charged me 6.99 for nominated delivery today with DPD @dhlexpressuk & the courier went to the wrong address & made out he’d been & said I wasn’t in. Worst customer service I’ve ever received & I expect a refund

  • jodielouiseart Jodie (@jodielouiseart) reported

    @Robdw1983 @O2 Mine’s exactly the same, the check the network and tell me that it’s working when it’s clearly not 🥴

  • RidingWithCJ RidingWithCJ (@RidingWithCJ) reported

    @GarethTurpin @O2 Disgusting, already making horrific amounts of profit but just can’t help yourselves. As long as the fat cat share holders get what they want aye? A hike that high and the reasoning are both utter crap. Pathetic corporate greed.

  • b_nockbhoy83 SuperFurryBrazza 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@b_nockbhoy83) reported

    17.5% increase in my @O2 bill from April. Go **** yourselves ya **** turpin robbing bastards!!! #o2

  • Acq_Knowledge Dante1987 (@Acq_Knowledge) reported

    @O2 @GarethTurpin you are kidding me with this email about the price increase? This is a joke. I have a been a customer with O2 for a very long time. Pay As You Go and Monthly. Loyalty does not pay I see.

  • whatphilsaid phil.i.am (@whatphilsaid) reported

    hilarious that @O2 tell me the cost of calls/texts going up by around £60pa to cover the cost of powering their network when half the time i can't use my phone because their network is so bad. can't wait for my contact to end so i can leave them after over 10 years as a customer.

  • Burnside_5 Burnside (@Burnside_5) reported

    @O2 @jujoethekiller They are busy calculating their bonuses after slapping a 17.3% price rise onto their customers despite providing a worse service

  • Kev_Kenton Keven Kenton (@Kev_Kenton) reported

    @o2 13.4% + 3.9% on a network that if I go outside where more than 5 people are you do not get service, absolute joke! Hurry up contact and expire!

  • Ramraider20 Ram raider (@Ramraider20) reported

    . @O2 I've been with you guys for little over a year after a decade with another network and having such a huge rise in bill is a disgrace. I doubt your staff are getting a 17% payrise. I will be moving once my contract is up

  • Aerial01260217 🙂 Data (@Aerial01260217) reported

    .@O2 17.9% airtime increase citing inflation and new customer investment. New customers are not my problem - charge them for increased infrastructure, not me. Opportunistic greed and piss take. I’m aware of the contract but I will be moving at the end of the current one.

  • Alex_R88 Alex Robinson (@Alex_R88) reported

    @O2 your network coverage is now beyond parody. Any chance you can pull your fingers out and actually sort it or am I going to carry on paying for a service I don’t actually get?
