    Tell me why with my @virginmedia wifi and my @O2 phone contract, MY WIFI CUTS OUT CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE NO SOGNAL ANYWHERE I GO?! Thought being a customer of you both was supposed to reap massive benefits for me?

    Fran Edwards (@franlatics27) reported from Wigan, England

    @O2 Sort the signal out in wigan please I feel like dial up Internet was better 20 years ago than my rubbish Internet at the moment. I'll be terminating my contract in a month if nothing happens ASAP been years now literally dead spots where nothing works

  • StevePickupTM
    Stephen Pickup (@StevePickupTM) reported from Lower Darwen, England

    20 years with @O2 and this will be my last contract with them come September the staff in the Blackburn store need a lesson in salesmanship when sat in front of a customer looking down at their phone texting is not a great way of convincing people to stay with the network

    It’s already been said but @o2 it’s a disgrace - early access to Peter Kay tickets - no chance, now sold out - O2 customers were NEVER getting priority ……

    @O2 Worst telecoms company you could ever have the misfortune to deal with

  • HHBarn
    garDan (@HHBarn) reported from Rawtenstall, England

    @O2 how can we have no mobile or 4g/5g service till Thursday.. Seriously is this a joke..

  • 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 @o2 Your service in Bolton area has been terrible over recent weeks to the point I am considering leaving. When will this improve??? #badservice #telephone

  • 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?

  • mrusmanhussain

    Pathetic service at @O2 moving networks over 20 years

  • _hayleighhxo
    Hayleigh Cross 🌷 (@_hayleighhxo) reported from Haydock, England

    Spending 30 mins on the phone to @O2 for them to do nothing because they have to wait till the issues are resolved. Is there a number I can call to make a complaint?

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 3/3 only conclusion I could reach is that your call centre staff are under pressure to make more calls and now routinely disconnect customer calls after a period of making no progress. What do you think??

  • ConnorByron2
    Byron (@ConnorByron2) reported from Newton-le-Willows, England

    @O2 I have pretty much zero chance of getting 4G/3G anywhere I go in the country being on your network. Why? Paying for service I do not get

  • eagleeyedferret
    Adrian Simcox (@eagleeyedferret) reported from Urmston, England

    @O2 Yes the original problem is still not resolved. Can you DM me please to sort it out as I’m not wasting any more time with your shocking overseas call centres. Have you not realised by now they are a false economy?

    M☆lls🎀 (@1ts_r0ry) reported

    I genuinely hate the O2 app so much wdym I paid my phone bills on the 15th and it takes the money (THAT I DON’T HAVE) out again TODAY. I ain’t paying for 2 phone twice 🫩 need to wait till 8AM to call them and sort this **** out. @O2

  • 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

  • xlilyyrobinson
    L🍒 (@xlilyyrobinson) reported

    Disappointed with @O2. I’ve spent 4hrs on calls this week trying to resolve an issue. I’ve had contradictory information, multiple transfers & promised callbacks that never happened. Due to the repeated failures, the only reasonable option now is to allow me to leave penalty-free

  • south_eastone
    ‘Recollections may vary’ (@south_eastone) reported

    @HarrietSergeant @O2 I dumped O2 and went to Tesco, at least you can walk in most stores and talk to someone face to face and you still use O2 network at less money.

  • LilHay
    Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported

    @O2 @DarkSabers2013 Nearly 48 hours later and u still have not resolved the issue. Took you 36 just to respond it’s absolutely shocking and nothing to do with being busy. Respond to dm asap and get this sorted immediately

  • SouthernCazza1
    Carole ☘️ (@SouthernCazza1) reported

    @O2 Please help me. I have woken up to no network on my phone and when I restarted it I then got a message "SIM 2 not provisioned" I don't have two SIMs, just one. I urgently need my phone. I am registered disabled with life limiting conditions.

  • Demodya
    Grumpy No Mates (GR/UK) (@Demodya) reported

    Hey @o2, specifically #o2priority when you do a presale, app sends me to #Ticketmaster. When I'm there Ticketmaster sends me back to the Priority app to get tickets. I mean talk about keeping an idiot busy here but this does not get me tickets to BICEP. FML

    @damienquirk @EnglandRugby @O2 Lazy argument to say he is poor in defence.

  • HarrietSergeant
    Harriet Sergeant (@HarrietSergeant) reported

    .What’s happened @O2? Since merging with Virgin, topping up data has gone from two taps to a Kafkaesque ordeal. App requires an email that never arrives. Phone numbers unrecognised. Anyone found a workaround - carrier pigeon perhaps?

  • LilHay
    Hayley Laura (@LilHay) reported

    @xlilyyrobinson @O2 They’re the biggest pile of **** going. I’ve had issues for a week and recieved two replies from then and not one has been to get the issue sorted. I’ve reported them now. They’re an absolute disgusting disgrace
