    @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 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!

  • 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

  • MertonMuffley Jonathan Brooks (@MertonMuffley) reported

    @giffgaff hi gifgaff. Not sure whats going on but every month for past couple of months my auto top up doesnt occur and I end up using up credit and/or running out with no idea why my phone has stopped working. Can you fix?

  • LAUGEEPaul Paul LAUGEE (@LAUGEEPaul) reported

    @giffgaff Hello my mother has recently deceased and has used your service by direct debit. We have been unable to cancel this using her phone. How can we cancel this. Thanks.

  • hli_hlii ٠٠ حليمة ٠٠ (@hli_hlii) reported

    @YusufPonders I used to be with GiffGaff but the network coverage was terrible, so I left it. :S

  • BronwynEmilyJ Bronwyn Johnson (@BronwynEmilyJ) reported

    @giffgaff My cats told me to tell you that’s so rude.

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @barnstormed @giffgaff As long as you have a giffgaff 5G sim installed and are in a 5G area then yes you should. The 8 series including the Nord had problems with O2 5G but the last I saw from Oneplus in their forum was that the 9 shouldn't have the same problem.

  • barnstormed Matt (@barnstormed) reported

    @giffgaff Have you read the forums? The issue with @O2 /Giffgaff and @OnePlus_Support has been an issue since 5G was launched

  • MikeHenson Mike Henson 🙉🙈🙊 (@MikeHenson) reported

    @bazzacollins I had reliability problems with GiffGaff/O2 with my alarm system so I bought a SIM from Libara/Vodafone which has given me a consistent reliable signal. I bought it through U-Switch and got a discount - I pay £3.50 a month but I do only send text messages.

  • FrankKe91122253 Frank Kelly (@FrankKe91122253) reported

    @giffgaff Have topped up but system won't let me use my credit to cue new goodybag. I'll be seriously annoyed if midnight comes and I lose credit online and can't cue new bag. **** trick.

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

    @manx_maid We're very sorry about this Stephanie. If the website is blocked, then this is due to the website placing an over 18s link to it, not us. Each website has coding which is sent to the network and this is what we've picked up. - giffgaff Jeanette

    Giffgaff has to be the shittest for customer service. There is no customer service number to call. All done via website. Very slow to get a response.
