    Marcus 🇬🇧✊🏾 (@elgobsucram) reported from Manchester, England

    Always good finding 3 unknown direct debits to @O2 2 months *after* reporting fraud, especially after they refused to refund the charges to gambling websites I’d never even heard of

  • SawdayJames
    James Sawday (@SawdayJames) reported from Manchester, England

    @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?

  • 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 device as I’ve just been abroad and the signal worked perfectly. What are my options please?

  • Dr_Bass
    Doctor Bass (@Dr_Bass) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 Hi, my 4G signal over the last few months has been dreadful. I’m currently sitting with 3 bars of 4G and waiting about 10-20 seconds for a picture to download. I thought it was just me but seen plenty others complaining.

    @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

  • J0eH0lmes
    Joe Holmes (@J0eH0lmes) reported from Stockport, England

    @joe_fush @O2 I've been trying to log into my @O2 account and you keep sending me text messages with codes on to log me in, but with absolutely zero signal I can not receive the codes to access my account 🥴

  • 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.

  • Gsd1Omara
    Keeley O'Mara (@Gsd1Omara) reported from Rochdale, England

    @O2 why is the signal in #Middleton so poor??? We have 4 phones with you & it’s shocking signal. I know loads of people wanting to change supplier #notgood #sortitout

    @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 ?!

  • Chris_Mr_T
    Chris Thompson (@Chris_Mr_T) reported from Chorley, England

    Hi @O2 we’ve been in Blackpool most of the day and have little or no signal until we were leaving. Do you have a known issue, a lack of cell towers or something? We’ve been half a dozen times this year and it’s always the same on 3 different phones.

    @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?

    @O2 I have been a business customer for over 25 years. Delighted to see the adverts for O2 satellite given that I have no network coverage for half of my time. Shocked when phoned to order the bolt on and told its for personal customers only. Do you not value business customers?
