  • 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

    @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 :)

  • 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

    @O2 @giffgaff Why has there been zero signal of any kind in Bournemouth town centre for over a year. Yet, if i stand on the beach I can enjoy 5g from Orange in France!!!

  • archoptical Archoptical (@archoptical) reported

    @giffgaff I seem to have quite poor network on the mobile over the past 2-3 days. Very low signal, sometimes no 4g, in south-east London.

  • JoIrish3 JoIrish (@JoIrish3) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. I am trying to top up with O2 vouchers and it is not working. Please advise

    hey @giffgaff are your login and DNS really messed up today, or have you added @ICOnews to the list of Adult sites? (requiring passport upload to unlock, despite recurring credit card payments "proving" >18)

  • DanHallas Dan Hallas (@DanHallas) reported

    @giffgaff The network's busy because there's mast issues in the area, causing other masts to run at a higher capacity causing strain on the network. I'm less than 50Meters from a mast yet I can't even get a 4G signal?? When are these going to be rectified? Its been on-going for months now

  • DanHallas Dan Hallas (@DanHallas) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff @O2 Sadly as GiffGaff use the O2 Network, of which O2 and Vodafone 'share' masts. GiffGaff won't be able to repair a mast and will just continuously fob people off saying the 'network is busy', when in fact it's an infrastructure issue. Fix the mast issue and the network will be fine

    @giffgaff Sort your signal out may as well throw my money away instead of topping up

  • Promise31845891 Maya promizee (@Promise31845891) reported

    @Feedback_Pete @giffgaff I know a guy on Instagram that can help you with that one winks_hackers on IG helped my boss at work get her account verified in less than a day maybe it's better you try that instead
