Hi.
I'm very new to this, so please forgive me if this has already been posted.
I live in the village of Yateley in Hampshire, and for the last 6 weeks I have had no signal on my o2 phone. I have been a customer of O2 for a number of years and never had an issue like this before.
We have a very close community in Yateley, and it appears that I am not alone with this issue, in fact numerous, possibly hundreds of residents are having the same problems. We have reported these issues to O2 countless times, but keep being fobbed off with excuses, such as "it's your sim card" "It's your phone" "There are no issues with service in your area" "O2 don't guarantee you service in your home" After many long telephone calls with O2 we have now found out there are mast issues, which have been down since late May 2015.
As a pay monthly customer, I can't use my phone to send or receive text messages or phone calls at home or anywhere in the Yateley area, other residents are in the same situation, some worse, as their business contact is their O2 phone, meaning they can't receive any calls for their business.
Quite honestly, I'm getting sick and fed up of having to pay for a contract I can't use, and many others are feeling the same. O2 aren't offering any compensation, as they are telling us there are no problems.
So... My questions are: Does anyone know whether there have been similar issues in other areas, and how were they resolved by O2, and secondly, who can we write to at O2, at the highest level to get a proper answer to our questions and to discuss compensation to customers? We won't give up on this!
Many thanks.

Hi @Anonymous
I know you have had network problems for a long time but am posting this help link in case there is anything you may have overlooked
I know sometimes if people have had ongoing network issues they may be offered compensation....You need to register a complaint... http://www.o2.co.uk/how-to-complain

It seems the mast is down:

Sorry a phone mast close to you isn't working
Sorry, there's a mast near you that isn't working and we're waiting for our third party supplier to visit the site to fix the problem.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Still down and if it's been down for 6 weeks then it's totally unacceptable.

I am a Yateley resident myself and have also had no service for 3 weeks. I am being told different excuses each time I call O2 plus I have received texts to let me know the issue is ongoing. I know it is so stop telling me as this gets me more frustrated with O2
If O2 piggy back Vodafone then surely they have enough weight behind them to get the mast fixed. Using the TiVo app does not help if you are outside. Although I have been told I would be compensated I would prefer a service that works and is reliable. JUST GET IT SORTED O2! Talking of compensation, O2 even tried to get me to accept compensation last week with the view that I wouldn't call for updates at all - as you can gather I didn't accept untolvtge mast was fixed
Deal with it O2
