  • 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

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @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

    @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 :)

  • mrstevehuw Steve Huw (@mrstevehuw) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff It’s a shame that your signal where I live has gone terrible. Never used to be like this. What’s changed? Going to have to look for a different provider… 🙁

    Isn't it odd who the contract phone networks like EE, 02 and Vodaphone have issues with keeping customers when they annual RPI increases Buy a phone direct from Apple and Samsung and go to a PAYG network like GiffGaff or SMARTY Owned by the biggest....... sh1† loads cheaper

  • fuzzweed füzzwêêd-poweruppu 🚀💎⚡👾💥 (@fuzzweed) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @BreakIntoProg @barry_barcrest I chucked all my stupid overpriced business plans in the bin and went to Giffgaff a couple of years ago. Couple of odd little quirks, but really have no complaints and save a ton of money. Very good CS too. Tend to sort you out / benefit of doubt if problems.

  • Barbara4003 Barbara Poole ⚽🦅 (@Barbara4003) reported from Crawley, England

    @IAG828 Talk mobile is about the same cost as giffgaff and is on Vodafone network

  • JamesAWright77 James Wright (@JamesAWright77) reported

    @LordHuw @tescomobile for an old contract, and is a way obviously to lock them into a new deal with a frozen price contract. Much cheaper than any of the other networks, which actually have stores in which you can go into for help and talk to someone - and giffgaff are only keeping their prices fixed

  • supernat13 natasha stragalinou (@supernat13) reported

    @giffgaff so, due to fraud alert in December (never informed) u declining now any new forms of payment leading me to leave- i was told i cannot keep my number if i had a new sim card either. Bought voucher for the timing being, it's draining while im at home with my home wifi.

  • CazMcDo Caroline McDonagh-Darwin (@CazMcDo) reported

    Hold up, isn't there that @giffgaff advert talks about the future and says turnips are the latest craze... Is Therese Coffey's media strategy "Oh ****, what was that thing I saw on TV last night"?

  • Alexand57638684 Alexander 🏳️‍🌈🎸🇺🇦 (@Alexand57638684) reported

    Great customer service from @giffgaff today. Told them I was having issues with my data connection. Within an hour told I was being processed a refund. Thanks guys.

  • PoppyFatherCult Stevie-Oi (@PoppyFatherCult) reported

    Isn't it odd how the contract phone networks like EE, 02 and Vodafone have issues with keeping customers when they impose annual RPI increases Buy a phone direct from Apple & Samsung then go to a PAYG network like GiffGaff or SMARTY It's sh1† loads cheaper I did

  • Barbara4003 Barbara Poole ⚽🦅 (@Barbara4003) reported from Crawley, England
