  • DAbrahamNewman
    Dominic Abraham-Newman (@DAbrahamNewman) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 as a last resort I am tweeting following extremely poor support from your contact centre who I am not getting anywhere with despite numerous calls. I need urgent support with a query which has left me £119 out of pocket following fraudulent activity. Please contact me asap!

    Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

    @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

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

  • Chris_Mr_T
    Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, England

    Hi @O2 we’ve been in Blackpool most of the day and have little or no signal until we were leaving. Do you have a known issue, a lack of cell towers or something? We’ve been half a dozen times this year and it’s always the same on 3 different phones.

  • 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?

  • J0eH0lmes
    Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

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

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    Anyone got any suggestions on how to get a pac code from @O2 it's next to impossible to get through. Surely this is against @Offcom code of conduct? A comms network company that won't take customer calls!?! Anyone else having this problem? #ukmobile

    @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 I messaged earlier and you managed to help me with my query, I’ve since sent another DM but have not received any reply. I messaged as my husband lost his phone so you blocked it for me. It has now been returned by the taxi driver so he requires the phone unlocking please

  • TourdeMancBloke
    Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 how do you get through to you for a pac code. Been ringing for an eternity and still waiting. It's as if you're ignoring the call so i'll have stay. pretty cr*p service from a main mobile provider. Let me guess #hgvshortageexcuse or #covidexcuse #notfitforourpose @Offcom

  • Andy_TheGrouch
    Andy (@Andy_TheGrouch) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 no chance i’m renewing, genuinely shite network coverage, cant make call when driving without it sounding like someone is under water & call failing. Mast been down in Ashton for over a week. Phone basically useless. Troubleshooting links are pointless - not good enough.

  • CherylManley14
    Cheryl Manley (@CherylManley14) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

  • 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 Ordered an upgrade on 1 May, order NC338316791. Eight days later, still no clear delivery or collection update. Stop chasing new customers and fix service for existing ones. PATHETIC customer service. Absolute trash.

  • gawa_tyrone

    @O2 Still not working. Tried this numerous devices and tablets . On different browsers.. its 02 issue. Get it sorted!!

  • Lodovicho
    Phil (@Lodovicho) reported

    @O2 your website doesn't work, I can't sign in, I can't make payments on it, your ap is terrible, and now you e disconnected my phone without the courtesy of a response from your executive team. I JUST WANT MY ONLINE ACCOUNT TO WORK, YOU'LL THEN GET YOUR DOSH!

  • danielbrady82
    Daniel Brady (@danielbrady82) reported

    Really need to commit to leaving @O2 when my contract expires. Those Artemis astronauts had better signal than what I seem to get. 4 bars, 5G and **** all. We pay more and more, but get less and less.

  • goddessnemo2
    Goddess Nemo (@goddessnemo2) reported

    @GarySpedding @arokorol @O2 I’m glad you googled it, now do you see how the signal won’t just randomly ping to one 6 miles away instead of a tower right there? Also, it’s more like a 45 minute to 60 minute drive, I used to do it weekly.

    Has anyone had any experience of making an ombudsman complaint against @O2 (or other network)? They’ve not billed me correctly for almost half a year now, adding charges for a phone I sent back in January (with their prepaid packaging, and I gave them Royal Mail’s tracking number for it). They’ve also abruptly ended a payment plan I was on, allegedly because it “automatically terminated” when my account was credited for the charges for my previous phone, which should not have been added. I’ve tried asking them for help today, but they have been ******* useless

    @Ofcom @O2 Just tried to port my number away from o2. The method via text doesn't work. You can't do it via your o2 account on the website and the phone method closes at 21:00. 02 service is pathetic and designed to keep you on their network. FIX IT.

  • GarySpedding
    Gary Spedding (@GarySpedding) reported

    @arokorol @O2 One of two possibilities: Your phone connected to an errant signal from a Palestinian mobile tower in the West Bank. You are lying and were not actually in Ben Gurion Airport when you got this text but actually travelling in Jerusalem or to an illegal settlement in West Bank.

    @BBLouisR @O2 @VodafoneUK I don’t get signal at work at all! The signal in my house is also rubbish even though it’s meant to be a strong area for signal according to their signal checker. Ive been stupidly loyal for 22years and gained nothing but rubbish service really
