O2 Issues Reports Near Atherton, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Atherton and nearby locations:

  • DaveWrigh Dave Wright (@DaveWrigh) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @grantmathieson @O2 I work in the industry (not for O2 though, although I have had internal dealings with them) and that does seem like a very odd course of action to recommend. DM me with your issue if you want and I’ll see if I can point you in the right direction?

  • 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?

  • 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?

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

    @O2 my phone is saying no sim so I have zero signal or data to call or text you. Any chance of getting someone to give me a ring to sort out a new sim card?

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • itspaulactually Paul (@itspaulactually) reported from St Helens, England

    Nah, @o2, you’re *************** now. If I’m in a crowd of more than 10, I get no signal. Tear up my contract now. @ee, you game?

  • 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?

  • OliverBanks Oliver Banks 🇺🇦 (@OliverBanks) reported from Manchester, England

    @O2 hi, how do I cancel a contract within the 14 day cooling off period please?

  • 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??

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

    @O2 2/2 both occasions the call centres were noisy. Call centre operative didn’t speak very god English. Both operatives complaining their systems were slow or not working at all and putting me on hold for long periods.

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

    @O2 @purpledolphins7 They didn't help me. They didn't apply the increase in speed. In fact they said I could have 1gig for £30 extraper month. False advertising and liars!

  • chrisrogan Chris Rogan (@chrisrogan) reported from Manchester, England

    Pee'd off at @GreggsOfficial and @O2 three weeks in a row with priority debacle. One week over charged, last week paid for my own this week walked out. Staff not trained in the offer and Greggs not responding to customer service emails. More Greggs issue than o2.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • grantmathieson Grant Griffiths-Mathieson (@grantmathieson) reported from Manchester, England

    @BruceDevlin @O2 Has she maybe assumed data protection issue

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

    @O2 No WiFi and most of the time completely no signal, it is a black spot for your network

  • hellpants Martin Evans (@hellpants) reported

    @lifeaslexi @O2 I’m pretty sure all hold music on phones is psychologically designed to make people hang up and sort matters out themselves.

  • beingtayy tay x (@beingtayy) reported

    @O2 I have had no working 3G/4G all day, can occasionally access safari but that’s about it. Checked website and no issues reported around me and can’t get through to anyone on app or phone without getting cut off.

  • DirtySurti Ketan Surti (@DirtySurti) reported from Dickens Heath, England

    @O2 your service is terrible and I haven't even fully moved over from my current provider. Managed to move 2 sims across but struggling with two more. Keep getting a declined, then your customer service team call saying can see incomplete order but then cut me off !

  • franwoolard16 Fran Woolard (@franwoolard16) reported

    @O2 Hi, need to cancel a lost phone/SIM but your phone lines appear to be down and can’t get through on web chat. Any way to do this asap to avoid any calls being made on the device?

  • C0nfuzedpenguin Confuzed Penguin (@C0nfuzedpenguin) reported

    @O2 hey folks, looking for some help. Set up and bought new monthly contract & phone with you guys yesterday. Got all legal docs & order email, heard nothing since, nothing delivered today & when I go to track my order it says I don't have anything..bit concerned.

  • tobyg98 t (@tobyg98) reported

    @O2 you’ve text me my own phone number 23 times in the last hour and I can’t access the support chat. Please could you jog on

  • krissiesaid Krissie Stiles MSc 🇱🇻 🇬🇧 (@krissiesaid) reported

    @tarahanmer @O2 @actionfrauduk can you help? 🙏🏻

  • mikethomashendi mikethomashendi (@mikethomashendi) reported

    @O2 Interesting to note that according to last year's annual report, @o2 invested around £750m in the network and still managed to rake in profits of £581m. Yet they absolutely need to raise their prices.

  • kyleighgreen22 kyleigh green (@kyleighgreen22) reported

    @O2 I get that it increases yearly … BUT for 3 weeks I’ve had little to no signal at all and it may not even get fixed until the 6th March 🙄 doesn’t seem fair I’m paying for a service I’m not even able to use !
