  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • Dr_Bass Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

  • thefirkinbar The Firkin (@thefirkinbar) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

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

  • Andy_TheGrouch Andy (@Andy_TheGrouch) reported from Bryn, England

    @O2 no chance i’m renewing, genuinely shite network coverage, cant make call when driving without it sounding like someone is under water & call failing. Mast been down in Ashton for over a week. Phone basically useless. Troubleshooting links are pointless - not good enough.

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • bodsy0 Mike Bowden (@bodsy0) reported from Stockport, England

    @o2 you really need to change your 'on-hold' music #terrible 😎

  • elgobsucram Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

  • eagleeyedferret Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported 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?

  • 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

  • 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??

  • _hayleighhxo Hayleigh Cross 🌷 (@_hayleighhxo) reported from Haydock, England

    Spending 30 mins on the phone to @O2 for them to do nothing because they have to wait till the issues are resolved. Is there a number I can call to make a complaint?

  • clare_jeffs Clare (@clare_jeffs) reported from Stockport, England

    They told her they are affiliated with @O2 and apparently do not offer cooling off periods. How can they miss-sell to a vulnerable lady with a brain injury and not cancel it. @plandotcom DISGUSTING.

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • SimpaticoGem Gemma ≅ (@SimpaticoGem) reported from Walkden, England

    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SIGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

  • J0eH0lmes Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

  • StevenB93941279 Steven Burns (@StevenB93941279) reported from Ramsbottom, England

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

  • ZackHallam Zack Hallam 🐝 (@ZackHallam) reported from Manchester, England

    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

  • Mhamp84 Myles Hampson (@Mhamp84) reported from Hindley, England

    @Clf88 @O2 Yeah it’s been fine , vodaphone network . I buy the phone out right and just pay for data

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

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @O2 anyone who in the same boat as me, stuck in a contract with o2 with very bad network connection? when you try to complain you get fobbed off and promised the return call, which never happens.? Post up your complaint and add BBCWatchdog and Which tags. This needs sorting

  • scarlet3629 Tanya (@scarlet3629) reported

    @O2 my elderly friend (widower in late 80’s) got cold called and moved from an O2 consumer to O2 business 3 yr tariff last week. They want £300 admin fee to cancel 7 days on. O2 won’t take her calls as they don’t ‘manage the line’ now. Who can help?

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @JessicaCBarrow @O2 Hi, I am sure o2 have issues with their network, if you don’t feel satisfied with the response from o2 maybe retweet your complaint using BBCWatchdog and Which magazine tags. I fed up with o2 network and customer service. Need to get something done

  • raycroz ray crozier (@raycroz) reported

    @O2 Text and calls are ok, tried manually selecting a different network but nothing happens

  • SPG8250978 S P G (@SPG8250978) reported

    @Extinguisherman @O2 Service has been good so far till 7 or so days ago, might have been longer. If there is a cell issue around here - then these things happen, but if it goes on much longer then I will be looking for more information or compensation. Hope you get your issue resolved.

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @LK18921479 @O2 Hi, retweet your complaint using BBCWatchdog and Which magazine tags. I fed up with o2 network and customer service. Need to get something done, they use same old rubbish reset network settings, reset phone and then end up lieing about call backs

  • Kay70466920 Kay (@Kay70466920) reported

    @O2 @O2 + I was asked for the card number of my account of which I declined to share. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS. I WANT MY £151.00 BACK IMMEDIATELY AS TOLD BY O2. THIS IS NOT GOOD BUSINESS TO GO BACK ON YOUR WORD IN GOOD FAITH.

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @RoseHabberley @O2 Hi, I am sure o2 have issues with their network, if you don’t feel satisfied with the response from o2 maybe retweet your complaint using BBCWatchdog and Which magazine tags. I fed up with o2 network and customer service. Need to get something done

  • AJeftech AJ  (@AJeftech) reported

    @Extinguisherman @O2 You having bad signal too?

  • Extinguisherman Dale Watts (@Extinguisherman) reported

    @BOBBYBOY1205 @O2 Retweet complaint add BBCWatchdog and Which magazine tags, I am sure there’s something seriously up with the network, might just be clogged up but it’s not right in loads of places. Trying to get o2 to own up what’s wrong
