Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Bolton and nearby locations:

  • Archaonday Chiara Oxley (@Archaonday) reported from Wigan, England

    The @O2 seem to think that this is an acceptable way to deal with this situation. Poor customer service all round it seems #beware #unsafe #ItTakesOneMoment #Manchester all over again.

  • _chris_a Chris (@_chris_a) reported from Manchester, England

    As if the network congestion issues in many parts of the country weren't bad enough @O2 have excelled themselves with dire customer service agents. I'm named on my husband's account but one agent shouted at me you only deal with the account holder and then hung up.

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

    @O2 I have asked you guys to sort it repeatedly and it’s never fixed. Your advice was ‘use 3g’ but even that doesn’t work. :( I have been with you guys for 14 years and im disappointed you haven’t fixed my problem

  • michelle2570 Michelle❤#TeamChester❤#TeamLinkinPark (@michelle2570) reported from Walkden, England

    @chrisstyles44 @O2 I honestly feel truly sorry for all the 02 customers who haven't heard anything about their new mobile phone delivery, that should arrive today! It's so UNFAIR! The 02 Purchase Team have totally messed up! They never checked the phones' actually stocks for reordering in time! 😠

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Middleton, England

    Well my opinion of @O2 has just (to quote a word used so many times by O2) “escalated” from bad to absolutely useless!

  • pathookway patricia hookway (@pathookway) reported from Walkden, England

    @O2 please can you help not happy at all

  • MKTINGW1Z Rami El-Boghdadly (@MKTINGW1Z) reported from Hindley, England

    So @EE launched their 5G network. While on the other side @O2 have not only announced a date but we sometimes barely get 3G in major towns and cities across the UK. Can’t wait for my contract to run out to switch providers

  • pammie02 Pam Nunn (@pammie02) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 How is the quickest ans easiest way to make a complaint!! 😡

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

  • RichardHesketh1 Richard Hesketh (@RichardHesketh1) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 We have performed FFR necessarily, as this problem has persisted over three phones. This is an issue of inherited number. Very weird. We've been in touch with the previous user and they are aware. Changed their details etc. It's still happening.

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @virginmedia that was extremely good service by your customer service team. Thank you very much for all your help. Maybe you could give some advice to @o2

  • bluegail1 Gail Price 💯🏆💙⚽️ CHAMPIONS!🐝🦈 (@bluegail1) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 @o2 You don’t want to help enough unfortunately! Started off well, then ended up worse than the telephone customer services! Hope no one needs a refund anytime soon, if you do, good luck with that!

  • thejimirving Jim Irving (@thejimirving) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh, of course, I’m in the middle of a major city, it makes sense that my @O2 service would be completely useless.

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    Day 2 of Trying to get @O2 to understand what domestic abuse and financial abuse is! @MarkEvansO2 Mark I think you need to pull your finger out your ass and look at the state of your company your running! All your contact centres are run by shitty capita! Your a horrible company

  • cholloway92 Chris (@cholloway92) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 @TalkTalk can’t believe the farce of Talk Talk telling my Dad to move to O2 then 10 days later O2 telling us to call Talk Talk over issues with the PAC code and Talk Talk telling us to call O2 instead. Been on the phone for over an hour tonight and got nowhere! Sort it out!

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @carleyjones1 @O2 No! I never use all my data or minutes. The bill for May- which comes out on 11th June, was only £38 something. I checked the app and I’m up to date. There is no reason to take such a large amount. I can’t even talk after having my tonsils out, it’s a pain in the arse x

  • yannickmcosta Yannick McCabe-Costa (@yannickmcosta) reported from Stockport, England

    @NatWest_Help @Scott_Helme Sure. Problem is there is no MSISDN associated to this text, it's just a string with "BankAlert"so without help from @O2 to trace the originator, not much to do. Same with calls from unallocated numbers. You could contact @Equinix / Telecity to whom that IP range is allocated.

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

    @hellofawaytodie @O2 There’s a mast down though

  • jordanbuckley92 Jordan Tui Lolahea (@jordanbuckley92) reported from Manchester, England

    Sick of never getting service with @o2 didn’t move to these to deal with this shite daily!! Pissed off

  • planesmad2016 Aviation News ✈️ (@planesmad2016) reported from Bury, England

    @O2 as a victim of domestic abuse I would thought O2 would be more understanding and helping customers who experienced financial abuse as well if domestic abuse! I haven’t received any of that from you! Horrible nasty network! #Poorcustomerservice @bbcthree @MarkEvansO2

  • bexydoodles rebecca jones (@bexydoodles) reported

    @O2 you must have the worst customer service I've ever known! Cancelled my direct debit then I can't get through to anybody to sort the issue out! How are your agents busy at 7.01am when it only opens at 7am?!

  • think4urselfpls Diamond Thomas (@think4urselfpls) reported

    @O2 Errrmmm….following the bungle with the app not working this morning, my Greggs treat says it’s been redeemed. Considering I couldn’t even get into the app til now, how is this tomfoolery possible? 🤨 Are there data breaches???

  • FPLJazz01 FPL Jazz (@FPLJazz01) reported

    @o2 I CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR AGENT HAS CHANGED MY SECURITY QUESTION ANSWER!! YOU CANNOT DO THAT!! YOU DIDN’T WANT TO HELP AND DEAL WITH MY QUERY!! @LutzSchueler

  • huzyb Huzyb (@huzyb) reported

    @O2 Hey, I have had a replacement sim card In April. My phone is a Samsung s20 ultra. I have put other sim cards in my phone and it worked flawlessly. Other people in my area are experiencing the same issue with o2.

  • lisajaneloves Lisajane (@lisajaneloves) reported

    @O2 Oh bore off bot. I pay online and if your site is broken that's your fault not mine. I have no need to call anyone. @o2 is not great at reading or customer service. Cheers!
