James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, EnglandHello @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?

-
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.

Carl Eardley (@CarlEardley2) reported@O2 @MarQusRomelle The app is dreadful. I’m trying to pay this morning and it’s horrible. I didn’t realise apps could be built this poorly in 2026…
-
ᗪᗩᐯE (@Jaxstad) reported@O2 service is shocking and price plans are stupid expensive. Been with you 20 years, time to move on.
-
Dave Pakeman (@davepakey71) reported@paultownsend81 @O2 Wow you actually get 5g I’m still on 3g if ok lucky or may E or G or most times no signal but according got @O2 there isn’t a problem in my area
-
MarQus Romelle (@MarQusRomelle) reported@O2 Thanks for your response. There are many customers who’ve complained about these same issues with the app since it’s been updated; a quick scroll through this topic shows numerous responses from yourselves to them. I ended up having to use a desktop and pay with PayPal.
-
IndifferentMonKeY- (@IndifferentM) reported@O2 Waiting for support call. Told to keep my line open all week!!! Like I have no life outside waiting for 02 to call me! It’s all so badly done
-
Freddie Scovell Esq. (@FreddieScovell) reported@O2 Due to your automated phone system I couldn't speak with anyone about the matter as the number wasn't my number. It was handed to debt collectors who placed the default on my credit file. I have been a customer with you on my genuine number for 18 years and never missed a payment
-
Sf (@muckfe111) reported@mhewson_MCH @O2 Don’t jump ship to Vodafone.. the coverage is absolutely ****
-
Hugo Michiels (@hugomichaels) reportedYou know @O2 ,Ever since your network upgrade a few weeks ago in the Brighton area my signal has been far worse than it’s ever been. Should gave left it alone as it was working before. #itwasnotbroken #nothappy
-
Richard (@InfernalBore) reported@O2 @Uptowndiscos Why are you directing people to a page that is no long monitored/active? How do we contact o2 Business customer support in the UK? Why is the o2 Business online portal not working? Customer service levels have been bad for a ages, but now they're bordering on non-existent.
-
Viridis (@Lord_Viridis) reported@Ofcom @O2 I myself warned them about web issues on myO2 4 months ago, now the app has followed suit and is unusable. All linked to people with multiple accounts. The authentication service is riddled with errors and will loop people into a server configuration error.
