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

  • 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.

    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 @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 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?

    @O2 My data is not working. Unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi I cannot do any browsing. Is there an issue?

    @AndyOxon @O2 @virginmedia I've been waiting five months. Complaint gone external now!

  • JMcKnighty

    Really unimpressed with @O2 Contact Centre customer service. Working in customer service myself, I know changing a direct debit date shouldn't take 30 minutes with 2 agents, a dropped call, being called back, and then being told I need to call again tomorrow This should be 2 mins

    @shafterjay @O2 Now we're paying good money for no service

    @O2 Yes it says 4G, I have no idea what’s going on. Is there an issue certain areas possibly?

    @O2 really poor customer service today when trying to open a new account #exasperated

  • 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.

    @O2 Unfortunately I can't change it on the Link because I'm unable to sign in to my account with an incorrect email address

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

    £40 a month for @O2 and can't even get any signal majority of the time. Absolute jokers.

    @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

    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 Hi, do you know how long it will take for a local phone mast to be fixed? It's now been over 48 hours and I still have no service and can only use my phone if it is connected to WiFi, but cannot make calls or receive SMS

  • LynnEducation
    Lynn Nicholls (@LynnEducation) reported

    Absolutely hate @O2 - stupid app that keeps trying to link to Virgin Media. I can’t wait to get my code to move to Vodafone. No wonder you’re losing business with over complicated apps and expensive tariffs! 👋 o2.

    It has been brought to my attention that @O2 is doing a number on their customer , I may need to part ways of them if their price is too high . The government isn’t increasing our salaries so we must go where it’s cheaper .
