  • 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 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

    @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!

    It's always a shame when a once good company's customer service goes down the pan, so it's sad to see it happen to @giffgaff. Who have also fallen into the "if the delivery company we chose to use have failed it's up to you to complain to them, bye" shittery

  • RuthieMorris Ruthie Morris (@RuthieMorris) reported

    @giffgaff Hi thanks, but I don’t have a login password for some reason. ruthi64854

    And I am not trying to dump on giffgaff here, really like their service. But I am an IT worker, I have 20+ accounts like that who all try to be super clever and frustrate the hell out of me.

    I joined Giff Gaff in 2012. Never once had a problem, never once paid more than £12 a month. Credit where it's due. @giffgaff are faultless. Can't say that about many service providers. Here's to the next 10 years.

    1) @giffgaff Hi, I have quite the pickled related to your 2 factor process, which has created a problem that related to 0 chances to skip without verification. Despite previously verifying and linking the account to my iPad’s app, to avoid this kind of problem. As my mother -

    @giffgaff Yes I did and still no help , so tired I’m thinking of giving up on giffgaff

  • Zebsmattz ZebsMattz (@Zebsmattz) reported

    @Chutzpah84 @giffgaff How much is Giffgaff these days? There are a few options for no contract sims that we've tried eg smarty, lebara. You can try them for a month and cancel if no good. Lebara has 15gb for 7 quid and half price for 3 months!

  • muhammadujavai1 muhammad u javaid (@muhammadujavai1) reported

    @giffgaff I’ve spoken to my insurance too they told me they never requested to block Imei and that must be a mistake by giffgaff /o2 .Spoken to them and they’ll send another email but for no reason my phones being blocked never had this problem with any network like that

  • sdcbmthsch Stephen Coombes (@sdcbmthsch) reported

    Hi @giffgaff ! Are you aware of poor signal in the last week or so in Bournemouth area (BH8/BH9)? Tried forums and to contact an agent, but nothing yet. Can help please? Multiple SIMs in multiple devices struggling to get signal and running down battery because of it. Thanks.
