  • pitcombe Andrew (@pitcombe) reported from Camberwell, England

    @O2 Thanks it’s Peckham generally - and has been like it for ages. I wasn’t trying to call but trying to do anything is an issue. Post code I was at was se15 4rx. But that’s just one of many

  • budgie Lee 'Budgie' Barnett (@budgie) reported from Paddington, England

    @O2 Wasn’t a problem, as such. ‘Kit breaks’ is an ever present rule. Was mainly to let others know,, if they had problems and wondered what was going on.

  • dblooman David Blooman (@dblooman) reported from Ilford, England

    An @O2 customer for 11 years, need a new phone and they are unable to offer me a deal until my upgrade window is open, which is for 4 weeks. I guess its off to a new provider

  • Greekphotoguy Dimitris A. (@Greekphotoguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    Dear @O2, I've been with you for years. Just upgraded for 3 years. But the fact that I can't take my phone because my European driving license is not acceptable ID is very annoying. It has my photo and name on it. My passport has the same photo! I really don't see the problem.

  • jonnyrotton1989 Jon. (@jonnyrotton1989) reported from Islington, England

    Right that’s your lot now @O2 I’m sick to death of signal problems & the app never works to report a problem! 10 years I’ve been with you - you used to be the best, but not anymore. Time to give @EE a go 👍🏽 #O2 #O2isARipOff #O2SignalProblems

  • mrshavers Catriona Hepburn (@mrshavers) reported from Eltham, England

    Hi @O2. I'm sure this is as boring for you as it is hugely frustrating for me but your service continues to be appalling in my area. Now been going on for 7 months. Fed up of line constantly cutting out

  • Hammers71 Gary Mitchell (@Hammers71) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    What’s going on with the @O2 signal around London/Kent lately. Absolutely awful, every call I make or receive cuts out or off etc. Anyone else had this problem. Even cost me a chance of winning The Who tickets with @absoluteradio the other day. @daveberry_tweet

  • rafthemaster Richard Frame (@rafthemaster) reported from Kensington, England

    @O2 this phone number is harassing me - 020 3389 6395 - it’s a fake automated call claiming to be @HMRCgovuk called me 4 times already today! Wants to press option for operator (but I haven’t done so), needs reporting for harassment / impersonation of government service! @Ofcom

  • IAmAbbieMurphy Abbie Murphy (@IAmAbbieMurphy) reported from Camberwell, England

    Have phoned @O2 Maybe 7 times in the last 3 months, as they are investigating a company called Fermdemia that stole from my account linked to my phone. Starting to wonder if @O2 is fraudster ferdemia in disguise! ‘Someone will call you back’... that old chestnut. #o2 #help #fraud

  • B_Heer84 Bari Heer (@B_Heer84) reported from Stratford, England

    @O2 just phoned your team@to@inform them the network in my area is poor. Your network team confirmed that i am in Black Spot area. Your CS team that told me that theres nothing they can do with my contract and to get on with it!

  • davidchow David Chow 📶 (@davidchow) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @MIROFUR Disagree. In the UK it was an exclusive on @O2 as they built out EDGE and turned on support for interactive voicemail. It created a massive influx of people to the base, who continued to stay on even when the 3G version eventually shipped to other carriers.

  • Nico_Macdonald Nico Macdonald (@Nico_Macdonald) reported from Poplar, England

    @O2 There is/was a problem with your online payment system application, as your call centre colleagues note, but there is no pinned Tweet about this and nothing on your Web site (which prioritises upwelling to your customers more than facilitating them paying their bills)

  • ludlow_jimmy Jimmy ludlow (@ludlow_jimmy) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @O2 Not only has the network got worse but the competition's are useless, 5 years of entering everything and not a thing , what a waste of time

  • aktyrrell Andy Tyrrell (@aktyrrell) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @harwood_steve @O2 @EE EE service is shit around Chingford guys I work with never get a service I'm o2 never had a problem. Probably the country you're in. Plus we always get upgraded at the o2 by the o2 Angel's.

  • Greekphotoguy Dimitris A. (@Greekphotoguy) reported from Tottenham, England

    @LuzDLuna @O2 When I got to the shop to collect the phone and was denied, since a driving license valid across Europe wasn't good enough, I was told the "there are procedures and cameras" and the staff couldn't help because they would get in trouble!

  • s_reynolds808 Simon 'Whippet'.. (@s_reynolds808) reported from Kingston upon Thames, England

    Trying to listen to @VirginRadioUK on phone app on train and @O2 signal cutting out .. I know some areas are black spots but 3G surely should cope 😬 frustrating getting sound bites every 5 mins

  • JohnBur57441479 John Burch (@JohnBur57441479) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @O2 Got better service abroad than I do at home🤪from @O2. That pesky old mast in DA15 is still causing problems. But hey I’m only a paying customer. Nothing back from Mr Baldwin in the Execs office except a holding’ I’ll get back to you’ mail.

  • JohnBur57441479 John Burch (@JohnBur57441479) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @strawbyazoo I’m sure you would if you couldn’t make or receive calls at your home for 3 months and @O2 couldn’t give a shit.

  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • NHSNewey David Newey (@NHSNewey) reported from Croydon, England

    @o2 why is your 4g signal and internet bandwidth so appalling in Croydon. Pass through the town centre particularly through East Croydon and you might as well having no signal at all!

  • spike7307 Spike7307 (@spike7307) reported

    2 of 2 no-one at @O2 is giving us any help. My dad has even been into an O2 shop - and they say they can’t help. Please guys - any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • memike72 Boss (@memike72) reported

    Is it just me or is @tescomobile @O2 signal terrible in BT9.

  • Magnifico778 Mohammed (@Magnifico778) reported

    @O2 it’s the 4th time I’ve been cut off as soon as someone from your organisation has picked the phone up. I have an urgent issue, can you please do something about this. Thank you.

  • drunkp1rate Emma Pirate (@drunkp1rate) reported

    @O2 Nothing helps! It’s awful. I wish I never I changed to o2!

  • spike7307 Spike7307 (@spike7307) reported

    @O2 harassing an 80 year-old with demands for payment! They won’t even address the issue properly or even offer to contact us! Yet they still keep sending letters and up the amount by £30 every time!! It’s a pay as you go account for god’s sake - which is in credit!!

  • Monza972 Monil 💙 (@Monza972) reported

    @O2 Could you please clarify the timings of live chat is available? I keep having to refresh the page to see the chat option and when I do see it, I get a everyone's busy try again later. I don't have the opportunity to make a call today so need live chat to my issue sorted.

  • toby_whishaw Toby Whishaw (@toby_whishaw) reported

    @O2 imagine being a phone provider and having employees who have no clue about working a phone. One can’t transfer a call and just hangs up. Requested a manager to call about shocking customer service and being charged £160, who can’t even call back within your 24 hours. Dreadful

  • spike7307 Spike7307 (@spike7307) reported

    @O2 you are not dealing with the issue I reported to you this afternoon. You are harassing my 80 year old father with demands for payment - even though he has a pay-as-you-go account which is in credit. It’s no good telling me to call Customer Service - they are awful!

  • garthwd David Garthwaite (@garthwd) reported

    @O2 Hi, I hadn’t received any text message but I called Customer Services who were able to advise.

  • lfearnhead247 Lewis Fearnhead (@lfearnhead247) reported

    @O2 when are we gonna see these service issues fixed? Don’t get signal at home or at work, don’t get signal in town or if I do, barely. My phone telling me I have 3G or 4G but it just doesn’t work, can’t load anything. I’m paying a lot of money for what?
