    Having to restrict my mobile to @o2 3G service because the 4G is absolutely shocking. And #o2 keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the service!!! Can't be me who is the liar as I'm getting nothing through my mobile!!!

  • redarrowslover JoJo (@redarrowslover) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 I'm desperate to make calls and have data. Ibe been ringing all day. It just says call ended when I attempt to call out. I can receive calls. My Bill's are all paid. Please help o2. I need my phone. I've reset it a million times today.

  • Kevwe_Emefe ke-We (@Kevwe_Emefe) reported from Blackpool, England

    @O2 @DaveEdmunds01 You guys need to do better,I tried the upgrade way and it worked and the lady on the other end promised to put me through to the right department only to hang up on me

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    I have had to lower my @O2 mobile network mode to #3G because the reception around here for anything higher is next to nothing. Have complained about this in the past and go not further communication, quite fitting really to have no communication when it comes to signal.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 I have been an @o2 customer for 20 odd years, I have always done what you suggest but nothing ever seems to work, apart from when you sent me out a signal booster one time. Always thought o2 would get better but it doesn't.

  • sammyjayne182 Sam Dugdale (@sammyjayne182) reported from Stalmine, England

    Only me would buy a new sim for a network provider who doesn’t seem to have signal in my house 🙈 @O2 doesn’t seem to do rural addresses 🌱

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 why am I receiving a text message today telling me you were unable to process my payment? When it was taken yesterday from my bank account!!! It seems to be one thing after another with your service lately!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 @brough_ant I have the same issue, crappy 4G in an area which you say is great. Well it isn't! I bought the Samsung A70 with 5G ready, I doubt I am going to receive 5G, so pretty pointless really buying the phone.

  • redarrowslover JoJo (@redarrowslover) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 please can you help I have Bill's paid up to date but cant call out or send SMS. Fy8 area

  • PhillyG_83 Philip Gordon (@PhillyG_83) reported from Southport, England

    @O2 your customer service is awful. Staff hanging up on me all day. Need a senior manager to look into my issue!

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 can i ask what 4G speed your network should be giving out to the 99% of the UK you advertise.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 No you can't help because you haven't been able to help for the past 6 month whilst I have had this problem

  • Kevwe_Emefe ke-We (@Kevwe_Emefe) reported from Blackpool, England

    Lol finally got through to someone @O2 only for them to hang up on me - I understand times are difficult right now but don’t take my money and not answer the phone when I need answers @TheO2

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    So glad I have @bt wifi at home because @o2 mobile broadband is terribly slow around here.

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @O2 Can I not ring? I have messaged on here loads of times in the past and nothing gets done! Plus my partner is having the same issues as me and we are getting sick of paying for a service we are not receiving

  • CraigVerity1 Craig Verity Mbii (@CraigVerity1) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

  • leegadd Lee (@leegadd) reported

    Well @O2 I have been a customer of yours for nearly 10 years. You have contacted me to tell me that you can give me a better deal on my sim only contract. Fantastic deal.....I have 2 phones that can get no service at all!With your customer service department not bothered at all.

  • ritamoraruk Rita Morar (@ritamoraruk) reported

    @O2 it’s saying I have no service on my phone? Please confirm why. I have restarted and also up to date with all. This is frustrating!

  • DiLussoMenswear dilussoclothinguk (@DiLussoMenswear) reported

  • BarryStump BarryStump (@BarryStump) reported

    @O2 you are still sending me text messages that my bill is ready when i moved my number to BT 3 months ago Are your staff on some kind of medication? or just stupid?

  • Jondgooner Jondgooner@lhrfeeder (@Jondgooner) reported

    @O2 FINALLY after 10 days O2 posted daughters payment to wrong account barred her phone twice 4 phone calls later its finally sorted (allegedly) what a poor tin pot service they even suggested I pay twice why they sort it out to prevent further barring what an embarrassment 😳

  • James14691733 James (@James14691733) reported

    @O2 you ought to be ashamed!! 2 of your representatives phoning me and 1 was lying. Awful customer service and I will wait and get a new contract with another service!!!

  • Mr_Keyland Jack (@Mr_Keyland) reported

    @O2 can I dm you guys? Need some help if possible

  • grshorwich Godwin Stewart (@grshorwich) reported

    @psychomania666 @O2 Makes you wonder... If the MVNO can get SMS/Wi-Fi working, how come the network owner can't? Methinks they don't *want* to get it working for some reason.

  • bohford Beau Harrington (@bohford) reported

    @O2 Hello, thanks for your reply. No VPN or anything like that, I’m afraid. I have asked a couple of acquaintances also on O2 UK and they experience the same issue.

  • pickled_tinker Ian Grody (@pickled_tinker) reported

    Such a shame that some customer services agents at @O2 bend over backwards and are more compassionate than the company they work for. I've had nothing but shoddy performance from this network from day 1. Your staff deserve more. Your services suck and your staff bare the brunt.
