Fran Edwards (@franlatics27) reported from Wigan, England@O2 Sort the signal out in wigan please I feel like dial up Internet was better 20 years ago than my rubbish Internet at the moment.

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.
-

James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, EnglandAnyone 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
-
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
-
Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported from Manchester, England@O2 Too little too late @o2 it shouldn't take you 90mins to answer query and your chat was unavailable... I'll go to another provider who offers a better service #notfitforourpose
-
Daniel Tackley (@dtackley) reported from Bury, EnglandOh what a surprise. @O2 have yet again failed to take my direct debit payment. Every month I call and they assure me the next payment will be taken but it never has. Sheer incompetence!
-
Christopher Hurst (@Hurstchris2102) reported from Leyland, EnglandAbsolute shambles from @O2 with the pre sale of Peter Kay tickets. I managed to get some through gigs & tours but no checks so could have bought them even if I wasn't an O2 customer. Pointless having a pre sale if its open to all #peterkay #O2Priority

Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, EnglandWelp @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
-
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
-
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.
-
Sam (@SamAspinall95) reported from Leyland, England@O2 would you be able to Message me in regards to my bill, can’t seem to ring customer service just disconnects
-
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

MUFC Chatter (@mufcchatter) reported@O2 This CCJ is preventing me from moving house. It should never have been put against me in the first place. If the bundled broadband package was cancelled then this should have included the SIM. I never used the SIM, never put it in a phone, never held it in my hands!

Emergency services couldn’t reach her and now she’s in hospital where we can’t reach her. This has continued since 3/26. A direct number pls to speak to someone senior.

Cody (@CodyButton77) reported@O2 STILL charging me for a phone contract that I finished payments for in December 2025. Cancelled the contract as shown on the @O2 website and still being billed monthly even after calling customer service 3 times. Very disappointed after being a loyal customer for many years.
