    @O2 customer service nailing it once again! Information on the website is about as useful as having a third armpit, and then you call and the automated system cuts you off. Bravo you feckless morons 👏 🙄

    @O2 It’s ok now thank you. It was down for about 25 mins across a number of phones

    @O2 I have been cut off 5 times now whilst trying to chase a refund. Guess what, not called back once by your fantastic service team!

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    @O2 Hi, I completely appreciate the guidance there but, no, it doesn't. When I got through three weeks ago, your colleague was going to escalate my query. I never got the promised call back, hence me trying more recently.

  • Lysander_16 Lysander 🦆 (@Lysander_16) reported from Wednesfield, England

    Hey @O2 is there a actually a mast issue in Wolverhampton? As I've been receiving little to no Internet while I'm at work (WV10) It's been about 2 weeks. I'm not the only one either. Checked your service status and says there's a mast issue but it hasn't been fixed. Any ideas?

  • GoGishiGoGo Gish Abeyratne (@GoGishiGoGo) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Device is damaged. Your website and app are as clear as mud about repairs and replacements. I'm on hold waiting for an advisor to be available (20 minutes elapsed). Can you help me out?

  • AnneBaines1 Anne Baines 💙💙💙💙💙💙 (@AnneBaines1) reported from Hagley, England

    @acorbettn @O2 @metpoliceuk How awful. I hope that you are ok. Take care of yourself

  • M5Mahmud Nas Mahmud (@M5Mahmud) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 I had a issue with my billing and spoke to several of your phone assistants who did not help much at all, kept batting me off to Ariel Direct who also were useless. I finally got through to Tracy who explained the situation in 2 mins and resolved the issue, pls reward her.

  • goingabitgrey John McKeon (@goingabitgrey) reported from Birmingham, England

    @O2 Very poor, new link provided by @DriiftLive doesn’t support casting to another device there is no excuse for this awful provision.

    Anyone on @O2 having problems sending @WhatsApp messages?

  • matthew_74 Matthew Sparks (@matthew_74) reported from West Bromwich, England

    Hi @O2 I've tried to call about a technical problem (more a frustration) regarding voicemail. Called a couple of times last week, where messages advises you were busy. Now the message says, 'Use the website' and then hangs up. Any suggestions?
