  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

    @lmjwoww @O2 Exactly... their response didn’t help at all as I had already been on their website. I would say they don’t currently have 5G in Manchester. Contradicting the info on the website. 😡

  • anthonylawson79 Anthony Lawson MBE (@anthonylawson79) reported from Stockport, England

    @O2 when will the 4G signal be back to normal working order? Is COVID still a factor in this? I'm sure the signal strength was cut short due to more people working at home etc.

    @O2 your service line is actual cancer, never felt so frustrated from such a little thing in my life. Why can’t i get through to an operator?

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

    @O2 I am so upset with how I haven’t been helped by you .... you have left me in a worst situation .... Getting told different thing by each customer service member ... and to top it off having a member of your team hang up on me ..... Disgusting ....

  • Mr_Ricker79 Ricky Gwilliam (@Mr_Ricker79) reported from Manchester, England

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @x_gemma89_x @O2 The network is terrible, better connected ? Only to my bank account! If you look there’s loads of complaints. If they don’t fix it then may retweet your compliant with tags for BBCWatchdog, WhichUk and ofcom. The only way this is getting addressed is by us getting issues known

  • ChelseaVarney Chelsea Fear (@ChelseaVarney) reported

    @O2 can you help please? I want to change my name on my account. A chat advisor said I will need to send documents via mail while your site says I can upload online. However, I can’t see any options to do it on my o2

  • princessmel_87 𝕄 𝔼 𝕃 👑 (@princessmel_87) reported

    @O2 No unfortunately I don't leave my home (health reasons) so I just don't know why it suddenly only gives WiFi option to do the updates never happened last time

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @coachman_86 @O2 Hope you not waiting for a call before Xmas 2050. They won’t call and if they do it be load of rubbish and waffle. If they don’t call or don’t satisfy your problem then please think of retweeting complaint using BBCWatchdog, WhichUk and ofcom tags.

  • karlwalford1984 Karl Walford (@karlwalford1984) reported

    @O2 This was no help just took me to the normal o2 automated system

  • redibled Red.i.Bled (@redibled) reported

    Mental. Finished paying my handset contract for my iPhone XR with @O2 last month and like a magic wand most websites for this past month take forever to load, if at all, battery runs down quicker and 4G drops out regular. It’s as if they want me to get a new phone….

  • r_you_rosa Rosa (@r_you_rosa) reported
