    @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

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

    @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 :)

    @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

    Can anyone recommend a good network provider? Giffgaff are absolutely terrible for signal recently. Haven’t had a signal in 2 days!!

  • 6ziino Ismail Meman (@6ziino) reported

    @giffgaff ******* fix your data coverage, it’s ******* awful lately. So much for being “the best provider”

  • Stephanieb170 Stephanie Le Roux (@Stephanieb170) reported

    @giffgaff I have lost my sim card and unable to sign in to my account since they say they have sent a verification code to my email but nothing comes through. I have been in contact with customer service for the last 5 days and it has still not been resolved.

    @6ziino Hi Ismail. Oh no, that's not good. Please drop us a DM with your full post code, so we can check for any issues? - giffgaff Tasbiya

    @slowcrushh just cover every ridge with wind turbines with mobile transmitters hanging off all of them. (btw don't blame giffgaff coz they still piggyback off the O2 network, dfon't they?)

  • Marshiemonomoo finn ᱬ (@Marshiemonomoo) reported

    @giffgaff Hey - DPD have told me to get in touch as they’ve lost my iPhone 14 Pro Max in transit. Are you able to help?

  • MsDiamondPearl Diamond Pearl (@MsDiamondPearl) reported

    @giffgaff I’m not sure how a postcode would help when it’s pretty much everywhere I go?

  • BethLeBeau Beth LeBeau (@BethLeBeau) reported

    @SlumberlandRecs @ducksltdband Now that you mention it I feel like I might have had trouble activating a Virgin Mobile SIM once. I know Three and GiffGaff worked for sure

  • naja_return naja_return (@naja_return) reported

    @giffgaff why do giffgaff not allow me to login to website when I am abroad? Isn't that a bit lazy on securing your site? I have to VPN back to UK in order to login to my giffgaff account. very annoying.

  • Siantonisha Sian (@Siantonisha) reported

    @giffgaff anyone else’s 4G been piss poor lately. Just got an iPhone 13 and moved my sim to allow 5G and it won’t get that but it barely gets 4G anywhere. Might be time to move phone company
