  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    Hello @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 aboard and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Gsd1Omara
    Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • kellyvmckeown
    Kelly McKeown (@kellyvmckeown) reported from Manchester, England

    Avoid @o2 at all costs they are the worst company I’ve ever had to deal with absolutely zero customer service no choice other than to cancel

    @EuropeanBob7 @O2 Gone right down hill o2, used to be decent. ******* hard work now.

  • liammcdon97
    Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

  • SawdayJames
    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.

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

    @O2 And you even txt me to ask me rate the experience with your staff .... HOW .... never got through !!

  • MattyHenno
    Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported from Appley Bridge, England

    @O2 How are customers buying them when there’s no way of accessing your app or your browser version? You’re advertising a service that you’re not providing. Answers please

  • Hurstchris2102
    Christopher Hurst (@Hurstchris2102) reported from Leyland, England

    Absolute 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

  • TourdeMancBloke
    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

  • thefirkinbar

    @WilJudkins @EE Im on @O2 the date coverage is absolute terrible. Minus a random field in Donnington.

  • tuite_liz
    Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported from Atherton, England

    @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

  • HHBarn
    garDan (@HHBarn) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @O2 another day with no mobile or 4g in Rossendale.. 2 days in a row.. wow.. great service

  • familyhomecook
    FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

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

  • CurryInTurry
    DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • chrisrogan
    Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • kea11y
    Keally (@kea11y) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 how can you sell a phone, take the money then tell the customer its not in stock and not tell them when it will be? Absolute disgrace of a company. Trying to get in touch with customer service is a joke.

    @biteme_brighton @O2 @leemc87 It’s awful in Manchester

  • howierice
    Howard Rice (@howierice) reported from Sale, England

    @O2 @virginmedia @Curlykidlife Hi Virgin Media. Have just moved my sim over to O2 and as an existing VM customer applied for my free Volt upgrade. O2 have doubled my mobile data and you have upgraded my broadband. However you have now almost doubled my monthly payment. VM customer service cannot help ?!

    @O2 “Doesn’t exclude Scotland” No, but it gives a far less service Let’s look at the tickets for example, out of the 32 acts advertised, ALL are playing in England, only 4 acts are playing in Scotland O2 pick their partners,surely making sure partners are playing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is only fair ?

    Hey @O2. Can you tell me when the mast in Lancaster will be fixed? Its been over a year since it went down

  • ArcherImproving
    Not a sheep (@ArcherImproving) reported

    @O2 I keep getting calls from people claiming to be from o2. When I query why they keep calling they hang up!

  • emmashakeshaft0
    Emma (@emmashakeshaft0) reported

    @O2 I am trying to speak to agent on online chat but it is saying I need to open the 02 app to speak to someone but I am no longer a customer so cannot do this.

  • jmellling1895
    John Melling (@jmellling1895) reported

    @O2 @davehpayne It is still not working! O2 are deliberately stopping complaints being made

  • artdeco_fan
    Rebecca C 💙💙💙 (@artdeco_fan) reported

    Your complaint system is not fit for purpose! Your online complaint form does not work, it just gives a generic error message (this is not new, it's been the case for at least 2 months) and the complaint email address just bounces back. #disgusting @O2

  • RobCranfield
    🦅 rob cranfield⚓ (@RobCranfield) reported

    @theamazingjj_ @O2 Try reporting low signal area instead of sulking

  • maxwaa
    Max (@maxwaa) reported

    @O2 This is the problem, your app and your sites never show issues but I know exactly where I hit dead zones, where I struggle with slow/no loading data. Your coverage maps are incorrect.
