  • 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

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

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

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

  • 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

  • AOSO113 AOSO113 (@AOSO113) reported

    @giffgaff The signal in my area was restored, but it goes down maybe once every month or so - and it is down again now. I've checked the network coverage. I'm not sure an interrupted and unreliable signal is value for money. It's a long term issue which needs long term FIX.

  • Samiya61558547 Samiya (@Samiya61558547) reported

    @giffgaff my network is slow I’m in NW2 4Bj

    @AOSO113 Hi there. Oh no, that's disappointing. Can you please drop us a DM, so we can help further? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • MichaelHunter__ Michael Hunter (@MichaelHunter__) reported

    @giffgaff Hello, I’m only getting 1 bar signal with 3G for some reason and it’s was working perfectly fine this morning but suddenly dropped out, I’ve reset all network settings and still nothing has changed. Is there a problem with the network?

  • AOSO113 AOSO113 (@AOSO113) reported

    @giffgaff I live in NW2 in London Zone 2. Apparently there's not much more you can do for me. The tweet is just some feedback on the overall service here. Pretty shocking signal situation. Respectfully, it's not like I'm living in the countryside.

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

    @Samiya61558547 Unfortunately, we don't have a time frame as to when this will be fixed. We would advise that you keep an eye out for updates on the service checker site. - giffgaff Megan

  • BerensTally Tally Berens (@BerensTally) reported

    @giffgaff am currently abroad, and have purchased extra credit for data roaming. Have been told I am out of data within half an hour of purchasing said data package. This has happened twice. I am now £20 down with no data. Sort this out.

  • GeorginaSaysHi Georgina Wright (@GeorginaSaysHi) reported

    So both myself and my husband have had really bad (sometimes none) 3/4G connection this week on @giffgaff. Is anyone else having this issue?

  • awake_more More Awake In Sleep (@awake_more) reported

    @pillowpants18 @CarolineCoramUK So Vodafone is bad too? Which means giffgaff is the only decent one?

  • scottsouthman scottski (@scottsouthman) reported

    @giffgaff have been really pleased with your service for several years. Moving home but signal is rubbish. Would be ok if you did Wi-Fi calling 😟
