  @O2 why is the signal strength in #Middleton?? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking!! There’s loads of people wanting to change supplier

  Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported 2 minutes ago from Horwich, England

  I really wish @O2 can sort out the issues in Horwich. Trying to contact your insurance and police etc after a break in is extremely frustrating when there's no bloody signal 😡😡

  @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

  Howard Rice (@howierice) reported 18 minutes ago 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 ?!

  Why does @O2 refuse to give you internet connection whenever there’s more than 4 people near you… Surely there’s enough infrastructure in Manchester to support 4G?! Every single time I’m in a city centre, my data just doesn’t work. It’s a joke

  ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported 31 minutes ago from Rochdale, England

  @O2 I’ve not had access to the network all day, what’s going on? It would have been good to be notified of issues. Really not happy 😠 I’m due for an upgrade, might have to@consider switching to another network

• 
  Abi (@AbiClarey) reported 32 minutes ago from Stockport, England

  @O2 I seem to never have any internet access anywhere, even when showing 4G nothing loads and no WhatsApp’s come through

• 
  Liz Tuite (@tuite_liz) reported 35 minutes ago 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

  Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported 37 minutes ago from Ramsbottom, England

  Is it just me or is @O2 signal getting worse and worse.

• 
  Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported 38 minutes ago 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

  James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported 39 minutes ago from Manchester, England

  @O2 Well I said I am having problems with my 4g, you told me to follow the guide which told me to use the network checker, I showed you the results of the network checker and you said 4G isn’t about speeds. So what’s the point in telling me to use the network checker?

• 
  Matt Henno (@MattyHenno) reported 46 minutes ago 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

• 
  James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported 47 minutes ago 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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

• 
  Tony R (@TourdeMancBloke) reported 53 minutes ago 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

  Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported 60 minutes ago from Urmston, England

  @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

  Paul ▶️ (@customerchamp1) reported 4 minutes ago

  Who remembers when @O2 customer service was good? Since the merger with the appalling @virginmedia it's been absolutely diabolical. Trying to help a vulnerable relative, been on hold for 45 minutes 🤮🤮🤮 to reset his password. Shameful.

• 
  Dr Hanko Honkasson (@drhanko2) reported 6 minutes ago

  @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Tom Tugendhat suggesting that somehow the Government is responsible for very poor coverage by privately run mobile networks in Dulwich, and that taxpayer should be funding improvements for companies like EE (2025 profits £1.2 billion) as infrastructure rather than cycle lanes.

• 
  Benjamin Webster (@benjaminlfc) reported 7 minutes ago

  @O2 I am sick and tired of not being able to make payment online or in the app because of your absolute shambles of a payment system, a system that you ironically upgraded last year telling us all that it would improve the system that had been around for years and years. The phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” springs to mind. For the record tickets have been raised to your back office teams by your CS over and over and not one has ever been replied to or acted on.

• 
  Stephen B (@StephenB9fle) reported 10 minutes ago

  @O2 Can never make payments jst takes ages to loads shocking since use joined with virgin media

• 
  John Kirby (@csljohnkirby) reported 10 minutes ago

  @Alicetweets @O2 credits of £165 and £54.42 missing been on hold, cut off through security 5 times since 16.17 today, and it is now 18.14 and told that the credits have been moved, but they can not tell me where, and there is no senior person than the rude and obstructive individual I am talking to, and he has lied to me three times during this call, which is mean to be recorded.

  @TomTugendhat @O2 @EE Canterbury has dreadful mobile network coverage too. Wherever else I go in the world, it’s not a problem.

  @TomTugendhat @O2 We also found that O2 were concentrating 5G in City/Built Up areas. That was 2 years ago, not sure if the roll out is still on going. If you are using mobile at home you can link to your router for a better service. All the best with it 👌
