    @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!

  • PassionOnlineUK Faith @ Passion (@PassionOnlineUK) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Hi, I'm experiencing problems with data for the third day running. No reception at all today in CF11 8AT

  • 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

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff I’ve tried the buy a goody bag, yesterday and today and it’s not working, my goody bag hasn’t been activated

  • 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 :)

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • Indraraaarrrhhh little tiny ones (@Indraraaarrrhhh) reported

    @O2 hello please help! I ordered a sim deal a week ago and I have had no update and now have had to pay for another month of giffgaff. My o2 account won’t let me login. Order number ms-318136130

  • JarrydHillhouse Jarryd Hillhouse (@JarrydHillhouse) reported

    @giffgaff internet connection has been slow and shoddy for a while now. Sort it out. #unimpressed #payingcustomer #fullpricehalfservice

  • PlipOGamez Plipo Gamez (@PlipOGamez) reported

    @TheO2 Greetings, why do you allow the baffoons @giffgaff to use your network without oversight? They are incompetent in every thing they do. I have been using their service for only three weeks, and every query, service issue, I have had with them, have been met with #idiocy.

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

    @Nazaroth You just need to select 'continue' under not a member, and follow the on screen instructions. Whenever you're asked for an incident number, you can select 'I don't have an incident number', and then 'Make a complaint' to continue. – giffgaff Ann. 2/2

  • BuxtonTheRed Buxton The Red (@BuxtonTheRed) reported

    @oliviasolon Might be worth looking at Giffgaff, Voxi and Smarty. They're in-house "budget-MVNO" brands owned by the network they're on (O2, Voda and Three, respectively). All PAYG with auto-renew options, perhaps more convenient than a contract?

    @Chris_Ramirez17 Try giffgaff pretty decent network,Even just a temp one

  • RogueWolfIII vaccinated worm🐛 (@RogueWolfIII) reported

    @jaffameister I'm also on giffgaff and I've been getting a lot of spam lately, been with them a while now & it tends to come in waves, best advice is to just swear loudly and then spam the * key before you hang up, dunno if it actually works but it feels better at least lol

  • PlipOGamez Plipo Gamez (@PlipOGamez) reported

    @giffgaff I have 8 days left of airtime, therefore none needed adding. You don't know what 'goodwill' means, you #incompetent wasters. It did not take 5 working days for my money to go from my account to your grubby hands. Good customer service would be - crediting my account with data.

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

    @ChampSmithson @LincsGay some of the cheaper ones run on the EE network (who I am with now) so I know the signal is good here, my work phone is on 02 via Giffgaff and that's fine everywhere too

  • Vrntvr Sébastien Bowery (@Vrntvr) reported

    @giffgaff Hello. What's happened to the signal in TW5 Hounslow.?
