  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @teamIPSE Without a doubt! And phone signal! It is appalling how bad the signal is in parts of the UK outside of London! I am 4 minutes from the Cardiff city centre with no signal! #howareyoumeanttorunabusiness @o2networks @O2 @giffgaff

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @giffgaff hi! I’m buying my mother a phone for her birthday and want to get a giffgaff sim to go in it. Went to order one on your website but whose name, email, number etc do you need? Mine (buying) or hers (customer)? Thanks!

  • PassionOnlineUK Faith @ Passion (@PassionOnlineUK) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Hi, I'm experiencing problems with data for the third day running. No reception at all today in CF11 8AT

    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff I ordered the Huawei P30 yesterday and you guys have sent me the P30 Pro.. My moral compass feels bad for accepting this, please advise :)

  • mrstevehuw Steve Huw (@mrstevehuw) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff It’s a shame that your signal where I live has gone terrible. Never used to be like this. What’s changed? Going to have to look for a different provider… 🙁

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • kl_mnop_ Khayaal Manwani (KL) (@kl_mnop_) reported

    @giffgaff Baffled as to why your voicemail service doesn't mention the time, date, and phone number for messages... it's not just useful, it's rather necessary! Can this be done?

  • pauladamkeegan Levity (@pauladamkeegan) reported

    @giffgaff Hello. I am trying to top up my phone via you app but it keeps failing. I have added my Debut MasterCard and authorised in my Banking App but I still cannot buy a goody bag. Please can you help immediately?

  • SoManyJanes JayTee Thompson (@SoManyJanes) reported

    Hey @giffgaff where's my signal! People trying to phone me and going straight to voicemail while I'm staring at the screen waiting for it to ring!

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @steffi1281 That's not right Steffi. Are you able to receive any calls at all, or is it an issue from one specific number? Do you know the network of the person trying to call you? - giffgaff Jeanette

  • __kwbz Kwabena 🇯🇲🇬🇭 (@__kwbz) reported

    Giffgaff is a terrible network isn't it

  • prue_evans Polly Anna (@prue_evans) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks for replying, it is back now, but was doing that thing of taking forever to load once I signed in and then a flash of dashboard and it disappeared. Only to reload, and do the same. And very slow.

  • clarkie_18_ Clarkie 💙 (@clarkie_18_) reported

    @giffgaff why is my son getting "sign in to network o2" - his 4g doesn't work, so he clicks on it and nothing happens.

  • xxth_legion Luke (@xxth_legion) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Played in Bristol today but mine & my wife’s signal wasn’t great... lots of areas with poor coverage. Looking at you 02 / GIFFGAFF sort it out. Luckily got four shiny Teddiusa.

  • 360red_ Michele (@360red_) reported

    So can’t call either of my parents or my sister on @giffgaff or @O2 networks Their numbers apparently don’t exist, or so the recorded message says ! They can all call each other so appears neither network recognises calls from other networks
