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

  • AdnyNichols Andy Nichols (@AdnyNichols) reported from Horwich, England

    @O2 Hi i changed my contract with you last Wednesday and have been waiting for a delivery order reference KMM2134901340I15977L0KM. It has not arrived yet can you help please.

  • franlatics27 Fran Edwards (@franlatics27) reported from Garswood, England

    @O2 can you refund me my monthly payment as all the masts in wigan are down and have been for weeks....thanks

  • familyhomecook FAMILY HOME COOK (@familyhomecook) reported from Rochdale, England

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

  • violetibeh Violet (@violetibeh) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 please can I understand my refund for an order has not been done? I spoke to a customer representative after a week now and been told that it’s not on your system so I can’t get a refund? So why was a deduction made from my account and why was a receipt issued afterwards?

  • dobirmiah ᴅᴏʙɪʀ ᴍɪᴀʜ 🐝 دوبر محمد مياه (@dobirmiah) reported from Rochdale, England

    @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

  • liammcdon97 Liam McDonald (@liammcdon97) reported from Stockport, England

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

  • 6danicalifornia Dani Tomlinson 🎶 (@6danicalifornia) reported from Horwich, England

    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 😡😡

  • psychomania666 PsychoMania (@psychomania666) reported from Burnley, England

    @O2 Signal is just garbage in Burnley centre, has been for years on many different devices. 5G is needed ASAP.

  • markowens726 Mark Owens (@markowens726) reported from Bacup, England

    @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

  • springviewer John Edgar (@springviewer) reported from Wigan, England

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

  • JonnyGravel jonnytaylor (@JonnyGravel) reported from Rochdale, England

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

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

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

  • howierice 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 ?!

  • 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

  • CurryInTurry DJ Nerja 🇺🇦 (@CurryInTurry) reported from Stockport, England

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

  • JMcKnighty ~Jack 🐝 (@JMcKnighty) reported from Manchester, England

    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

  • 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.

  • sonnisamosa Sonia (@sonnisamosa) reported from Urmston, England

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

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @O2 hi, I’m seeing you reply to tweets you’ve received recently but I’ve had no reply to the one(s) I’ve sent you this morning. (No service since 5pm yesterday - no updates, no help, no help!)

  • Jleehonw Jamen Lee (@Jleehonw) reported

    Been transferred to 5 sales/ CS team, no one got a clue how to sign me up for eSim as a new customer @O2. Can someone advise me?

  • JayKuma92344190 Jay (@JayKuma92344190) reported

    @O2 my SIM is not working. I'm unable to make calls nor received. I work in a GP and I need to use my phone daily. Can someone get back to me ASAP! Contact us on O2 is useless. No help what so ever!!! This is so disappointing!!

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @O2 service still down!! No updates on your website. No idea if or when it might be fixed. I need my phone out and about for work. How do I find out what’s going on?

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @JayKuma92344190 @O2 I’m having the same problem in SW2 since 5pm yesterday. Can’t get any help or replies to my tweets. I need my phone for work too - just had to contact all my clients to tell them when I leave the house - I can’t be contacted.

  • LouPledger Lou Pledger (@LouPledger) reported

    @O2 I have taken out the virgin media volt offer as recommended but I am unable to set up a My O2 account for some reason? At the moment I am not able to reap the benefits of having this o2 number on the volt offer until I have this set up, help needed

  • RomanGeezer RG (@RomanGeezer) reported

    Hey @O2 after 30 minutes on the phone I am still unable to dial my colleagues in Ukraine. You claim “free calls to the Ukraine” yet are unable to switch my phone to dial there. Your service is useless. Now using Skype because your staff literally have no idea what they are doing

  • Mary_Fl84 💛💚 Mary ****** 💙💖 (@Mary_Fl84) reported

    @O2 how do I contact customer services speak to real human please? Tried for 2 days your automated services really starting pi** me off. Excuse my french. #O2 #CustomerService #thursdayvibes

  • danielbrady82 Daniel Brady (@danielbrady82) reported

    Everyone’s getting in on the bill increases aren’t they. @O2 just e-mailed me and so did @SkyUK. Fluff it that it’s essential to provide a better service, which we know is pants. So customers can’t change tariffs mid contract without being charge but you can do it and it’s fine

  • princess_knicks princess knickers (@princess_knicks) reported

    @O2 still no service - no reply from you, no live chat agents available on your app, no updates. NOTHING. DOWN SINCE 5pm YESTERDAY
