  • 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 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

  • ConnorByron2 Byron (@ConnorByron2) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I have pretty much zero chance of getting 4G/3G anywhere I go in the country being on your network. Why? Paying for service I do not get

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

    @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 No. I'm.saying that I've been away all week and have had terrible signal in all areas mentioned,,even while on well known motorways where signal has been good previously. Locally to where i live, I cannot get good 4g signal and only 1 or 2 bars reception which drops often

  • damonp007 Damon Pollard (@damonp007) reported

    As if things couldn’t get much worse..@O2 have cut me off due to unusual charges on my account as a result of £213 worth of calls to @WizzAirUK_W9 trying to resolve the issues of my flight/holiday cancellations! Thanks again @WizzAirUK_W9!

  • RIKZ200 Rickz1986 free 🇵🇸 ⚒⚒⚒⚒ (@RIKZ200) reported

    @o2 I'm glad I'm not a pay monthly customer of yours. Only got the sim because @EE have started to charge for EU roaming and I'm still in contract with them. Never had any technical issues with @EE.

  • Mummotutu Carly (@Mummotutu) reported

    @O2 Not really..every hour or so the signal might jump up, but right now, for example, I have zero bars.

  • jenvalentine86 Jenscrine (@jenvalentine86) reported

    I NEVER have signal. Checked your website before I went away last week and said full signal inside and out - none. Missed an important call from hospital. Broke down yesterday and phone said 4G 2 bars. Couldn’t call. Am I allowed to leave early I’ve been mis sold. @O2

  • AGasman25 Amir R (@AGasman25) reported

  • AlisonGascoigne AFG (@AlisonGascoigne) reported

    @O2 URGENT, have reported fraud on my account twice, it’s my daughter’s phone. Both times told by your rep to cancel direct debit. Now get notice that account overdue and O2 have cut the calls and data. My daughter is travelling late tonight and cannot use her phone.

  • mathewhudson84 Matthew Hudson (@mathewhudson84) reported

    @O2 your service and signal strength is by far the worst I’ve ever experienced, no matter where I am I always struggle for data and voice signal/service, if I wasn’t tied in to the contact I’d leave in a heartbeat!!! Poor poor poor!!!!
