    @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

    @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 :)

    @SMARTYMobileUK connection is extremely sluggishly slow this morning. Feels like the data speed is throttled or something. Thank goodness I kept my GiffGaff sim for backup!

    @LindyLoo_Sweet Hi there Linda. It can take up to 24 hours from your port in day for your service to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot your phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

  • LindyLoo_Sweet Linda Sweet (@LindyLoo_Sweet) reported

    @giffgaff I switched from Vodafone yesterday. Now can’t receive calls or texts messages on iPhone. Have turned off, updated software etc etc. Help!
