    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 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.

    @O2 Hello, my data hasn’t worked since yesterday. I’ve reset the network settings and my phone. Any ideas?

    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 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • 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.

  • 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 Sort the signal out in wigan please I feel like dial up Internet was better 20 years ago than my rubbish Internet at the moment. I'll be terminating my contract in a month if nothing happens ASAP been years now literally dead spots where nothing works

  • AbiClarey
    Abi (@AbiClarey) reported 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

  • 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

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

    @O2 when are you gonna allow people to get back into the priority app this tickets thing has been a right **** show

  • _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?

  • 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.

    @O2 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

    Hi @O2 - I left a few months ago and am owed £… I have spoken to a couple of your team who have said the refund should be sorted in the next few days but the money hasn’t reached my account. It’s quite frustrating! Can you help?

  • s7saunders
    Scott Saunders (@s7saunders) reported

    @O2 hey lovely people , are there anyways go get out of my contact due to signal ? It’s truly terrible in most places right now however my work& the journey between is unusable . Transmitter now working still and it’s been 4 months now

  • daviddunninguk
    DavidDunninguk (@daviddunninguk) reported

    @O2 I can’t get that to work but surely you know if you have issues. The service by york Minster has collapsed again

  • squall_loire
    Squall Loire (@squall_loire) reported

    @O2 No, because I don't answer calls I'm not expecting. If I wanted to discuss a complaint on the phone, I would call you. Written complaints should be responded to in writing, otherwise it feels like you're dodging anything being on the record.

  • MCR_ADM
    Adm (@MCR_ADM) reported

    The only time you can get reliable @O2 signal is by going to Europe. Anywhere in the UK. It will show 4G / 5G and you get naff all. “Maps offline” Music struggles to stream. Horrendous.

  • Worly82
    CW (@Worly82) reported

    Was on Vodafone for 15 years plus, very few issues. Been on @O2 for a few months and it’s absolutely shocking. Coverage appalling, phone cuts out part way through calls regularly . Paying for a service I’m not receiving. Avoid at all costs!

  • RogerR4BBIT
    Martin Renel (@RogerR4BBIT) reported

    @O2 have a multi SIM contract & it is impossible to get a PAC code for one of them despite you being legally required to do so. Text doesn't work for multi SIM and website gets stuck in a loop back to main account page every time. No one has picked up the phone in 3 lengthy calls

  • HueHew
    Hue (@HueHew) reported

    @O2 I am trying to activate a new PAYG SIM card but each time I try and top up it says it was unsuccessful, regardless of which debit/credit card I use. How do I fix this please?

  • UK_Resurgence
    Resurgence | Conservative Libertarian Voice (@UK_Resurgence) reported

    @RichardGCorbett Switch to 02. Competitive pricing, good service and free data roaming in Europe. The rest will soon twig and offer the same… @O2

    Ruxanda Josan (@ruxjosan) reported

    @albieamankona Some UK operators might choose to apply this principle anyway. At least that's what @O2 customer service told me.
