  • thejimirving Jim Irving (@thejimirving) reported from Manchester, England

    Oh, of course, I’m in the middle of a major city, it makes sense that my @O2 service would be completely useless.

  • kml1959 Kevin Lewis (@kml1959) reported from Stockport, England

    You just have to love @O2 one of the most grasping dishonest companies on the planet...they overcharge my business by £80. (their own error) .never apologise but expect you to pay the bill in full and then wait for a credit...what a joke outfit, cancelling all contracts Monday

  • JennaHorridge_x Jenna Horridge ☮ (@JennaHorridge_x) reported from Manchester, England

    Why is the signal for @O2 in @manairport shocking & has been for days! 😠

  • _chris_a Chris (@_chris_a) reported from Manchester, England

    As if the network congestion issues in many parts of the country weren't bad enough @O2 have excelled themselves with dire customer service agents. I'm named on my husband's account but one agent shouted at me you only deal with the account holder and then hung up.

  • JonNutten Jon Nutten (@JonNutten) reported from Salford, England

    @O2 Not what your customer service staff offered. 😕 typical of @o2businessuk

  • VivienneNewt0n Vivienne Newton (@VivienneNewt0n) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 £38 for an iPhone 7 handset only in store at Bolton. MyO2 offer is £38 phone and handset. I’m disabled & would have liked support face2face but the assistant said they can’t compete with online deals!! That’s ridiculous! @PiratePaul2705

  • RichardHesketh1 Richard Hesketh (@RichardHesketh1) reported from Haslingden, England

    @O2 We have performed FFR necessarily, as this problem has persisted over three phones. This is an issue of inherited number. Very weird. We've been in touch with the previous user and they are aware. Changed their details etc. It's still happening.

  • MKTINGW1Z Rami El-Boghdadly (@MKTINGW1Z) reported from Hindley, England

    So @EE launched their 5G network. While on the other side @O2 have not only announced a date but we sometimes barely get 3G in major towns and cities across the UK. Can’t wait for my contract to run out to switch providers

  • bsdesigned Brent Starling (BS) (@bsdesigned) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Constant drop out in the centre of Manchester due to congestion. Got told by a representative that: After speaking with our Network Service Team, the level of service you’re receiving is the expected level within that area. And it's part of T's and C's.. So tough luck.

  • cicismith81 Careen 'Cici' Smith (@cicismith81) reported from Manchester, England

    Message to @O2 There is NO need for any CSA to hang up on me because I corrected you. I’m now having to pay extra money because a CSA ****** up. And you won’t do a damm thing about it.

  • TrickyLad Richard Kirkham (@TrickyLad) reported from Manchester, England

    just seen there’s something called #O2Surprise, been with @O2 and their previous incarnations since 2003 and all I’ve ever had is sh*tty reception and bad service, or is that the surprise 🤔

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @carleyjones1 @O2 No! I never use all my data or minutes. The bill for May- which comes out on 11th June, was only £38 something. I checked the app and I’m up to date. There is no reason to take such a large amount. I can’t even talk after having my tonsils out, it’s a pain in the arse x

  • bolgamy sarcastic bastard (@bolgamy) reported from Manchester, England

    For months I have been complaining about @O2 network. Central Manchester, Bolton Town Centre, Liverpool Town Centre, Edinburgh, Glasgow, etc... I pay over £300 for that privilege. And now you want to reducing the customer loyalty discount...this customer won’t be loyal!!

  • cazatmacs Carol Johnson 🐝 (@cazatmacs) reported from Rochdale, England

    I will be cancelling my @O2 contract ASAP I’m giving you more than £30 a month and getting no signal at all for 8 hours every evening during my shift could you please send me a code to keep my number.

  • yannickmcosta Yannick McCabe-Costa (@yannickmcosta) reported from Stockport, England

    @NatWest_Help @Scott_Helme Sure. Problem is there is no MSISDN associated to this text, it's just a string with "BankAlert"so without help from @O2 to trace the originator, not much to do. Same with calls from unallocated numbers. You could contact @Equinix / Telecity to whom that IP range is allocated.

  • adele_1983 •d e l• (@adele_1983) reported from Manchester, England

    @EE Hi JT. Not yet I’m focussed on having my £742 back from @O2 then I will have a look and start a contract. The customer service and signal is appalling from O2 so I’m looking forward to changing to a reputable service provider.

  • nickfudge123 N Eddy (@nickfudge123) reported from Whitworth, England

    @O2 They are both in the same house..... 28 days was never mentioned #misold

  • Archaonday Chiara Oxley (@Archaonday) reported from Wigan, England

    The @O2 seem to think that this is an acceptable way to deal with this situation. Poor customer service all round it seems #beware #unsafe #ItTakesOneMoment #Manchester all over again.

  • VivienneNewt0n Vivienne Newton (@VivienneNewt0n) reported from Bolton, England

    @O2 yet again I’m let down by you - ordered an upgrade & chose a phone in stock. Then told the phone was out of stock - but I can’t change my order!! Disabled, going on holiday & needed the phone 😡@PiratePaul2705

  • oneladyshow Charlie (@oneladyshow) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 I have asked you guys to sort it repeatedly and it’s never fixed. Your advice was ‘use 3g’ but even that doesn’t work. :( I have been with you guys for 14 years and im disappointed you haven’t fixed my problem

  • theburdtweets Kate (@theburdtweets) reported

    @Philbers @O2 @O2 is claiming it's a scam. But there is literally no way to contact them! Don't know how it's possible for them to access my account without me giving them any info? Absolute nightmare customer service from them.

  • Triplenath Nathan Woolley (@Triplenath) reported

    @O2 Managed to just tap my way through it. I assume it was just a little server issue. All sorted now though 👌

  • GlitterMagpie_ Lisa 🐱 (@GlitterMagpie_) reported

    @O2 Hi, I have an account with yourselves and Virgin Media. How do I apply the Volt benefit? My o2 just keeps looping me around to the info about the benefit but never shows me where to enable it

  • Pau85122588 pablo81 (@Pau85122588) reported

    @O2 Years of terrible service and awful reception to the point were i dont even want to contemplate hearing, Have you took the sim out and cleaned it, We have checked your area and it seems fine, Try switching you phone off and on. What? 400 times a day?

  • ryanyates1990 Ryan (@ryanyates1990) reported

    Hey @O2, please get someone to update me via my ongoing issue which is currently being dealt with via DM. Being without service since Friday morning really isn't on and genuinely can't believe it takes hours to reply to DM messages when I've responded within a minute every time

  • Pau85122588 pablo81 (@Pau85122588) reported

    @O2 i cannot wait til my contract ends with you. Years of foolishly saying yes to a new contract to save myself hassle but no way will i continue with this rip off network.

  • lifetranquil1 Tranquil-life (@lifetranquil1) reported

    @O2 hi please could you help imtrying to get the new volt promo In conjunction with Virgin media yet no one seems to know about it I’ve call 202 & been to two shops & staff haven’t been trained and can’t help

  • bunkleboy @bunkleboy ⭐⭐ REMOVE THE MASK SHOW US YER SMILE⭐⭐ (@bunkleboy) reported

    @O2 You tell us what's happened! Every area I go in there is network issues? It as though you have teamed up virgin media broadband which is also crap just now

  • g_jinal Jinny (@g_jinal) reported

    @O2 What is the point we have done that we have been into the store we have also been on the phone to customer service and we haven't got anywhere with it quick to take money but the service is a shambles

  • SheldonLT Sheldon Tarpey (@SheldonLT) reported from City of London, England

    @UKGeocacher @ThreeUK @O2 Having the exact same issue when I’m around Liverpool Street for work. The biggest city yet the signal on Three is sooo bad.
