  • 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.

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

    @O2 Hey - I have checked the guide. It’s not my device as it worked 100% better on a recent trip to France. It’s not the environment as this is something I experience everywhere (in Leicester, in Manchester, on trains, at festivals) - but your signal checker says I have good 4G.

    @carolyn_keenan @O2 @peterkay_co_uk Go directly through gigs and tours. Some more dates added later in 2023. I've just manged 2 get 2 for Sept 2023 in Manchester no problem.

  • CherylManley14
    Cheryl Manley (@CherylManley14) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 due a phone call from an engineer looking into my account at the very latest today. Rang in, lost signal, advisor had to call me back. Still nothing but yet bet you’ll take payment on time for poor service

  • 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.

  • SteveVanDang
    Steve (@SteveVanDang) reported from Stockport, England

    Welp @O2 support was great tellin me no better deals,tho new customers get massively better deals & the signal in my area should be good 🤷. #Pac requested, got a @VOXI_UK Sim for half the price, better signal, more perks. 16 years brand loyalty with o2, was worth squat to o2.cya

    @O2 I have done and no joy, paying 50 odd quid a month for crap signal and crap Internet signal everywhere I go, you want to help then help me cancel my contract for a service you are not providing 👍

  • 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.

  • 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 abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • 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

    @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

  • IlPoofto
    The Emperor Poofius Maximus (@IlPoofto) reported

    @O2 O2 and your ridiculous payment site * That can't recognise a card's expiry date * That keeps you in hold wholly infuriatingly repeating ad nauseum "Your call is very important to us" *Then terminates the call* All this while threatening to terminate my service because you haven't collected my direct debit although the cash to pay it is in the account and there's never been a problem before!

  • xlilyyrobinson
    L🍒 (@xlilyyrobinson) reported

    @DarkSabers2013 @O2 I absolutely agree. I’ve spent 4 hours on the phone to them this week and got nowhere. I have been accused of lying when the things that were agreed were on a recorded call. My complaints been ongoing since August 25. They have certainly lost a customer once this contract is over

  • christwine3
    Chris Thompson (@christwine3) reported

    @O2 need account help from overseas

  • GraemeNason
    Graeme Nason (@GraemeNason) reported

    @O2 please can you DM me or explain why I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for my online account to be unlocked ? I’ve only called 3 times to fix and each time promised it’ll be fixed within a couple of days

  • Matthewmidgley8
    matthew Vern (@Matthewmidgley8) reported

    @O2 no signal yet again been like this for months and keep getting fobbed off time and time again. A pile of **** and yet you lot still keep taking money for something that’s non existence sort your shite out

  • iancharris
    Ian (@iancharris) reported

    @HarrietSergeant @O2 I wonder if it is something to do with their systems? I am with @tescomobile and they piggyback on the O2 network and it is much more difficult than it used to be to top up.

  • LilHay
    Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported

    Stay away from @O2 prevented me from using my phone and data for a week. Done **** all to fix it and two replies in a week. Time to report them

  • IanCockerill2
    I.C (@IanCockerill2) reported

    @O2 I just arrived in France, and am unable to use my phone AGAIN, despite your text about “Welcome to France” and informing me about usage! I am unable to contact your support team, I am very angry. Please contact me and sort my problem. I pay you good money for no service!

  • damienquirk
    Damien Quirk 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪🇺🇦 (@damienquirk) reported

    @DelBoy80s @EnglandRugby @O2 He got dropped by Racing. I've watched this kid since he burst in the scene ans was overhyped on the back of 2 great tries in second tier comps. He is a one trick pony, that'll work at Prem level but not intl. Fundamentally lacks work rate on and off the ball, poor aerially 1/2

  • Hewholaughed_
    Oruche (@Hewholaughed_) reported

    I’ve been on the phone to @O2 for the past hour just trying to upgrade my phone. Diabolical service… not even sure this is a person I’m talking to or a bot.
