  • 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

  • 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!

    @SteveFoxAST For the love of god get a Giffgaff sim and try it. No contract so at worst you waster £10 if the signal is bad or the networks to slow. But do it before your contract end just incase you need to go back to EE. EEs network is better that the O2 one which GG uses but the trade is £

  • XvYhi6 A H M E D 𖤐. (@XvYhi6) reported

    @giffgaff I received my SIM from giffgaff. I have a problem to activate the SIM. I forgot the name of the membership and I was not able to activate the SIM. Please help me in another way to activate the SIM

  • catashton Cat Ashton Ryan - fully 💉🏳️‍🌈 (@catashton) reported

    @kianryan @giffgaff Oh yes we have. And had the form responses that weren't followed up. We've even had a replacement SIM sent out without communication. No actual technical support. All buck passing.

    @Mark_Antony_3 We're very sorry to hear of your issues Mark. As long as you were using a card or PayPal, you should have had no problems adding a golden goodybag. Have you reached out to our agents about this? - giffgaff Jeanette

  • benjitindz Benjamin 🏳️‍🌈🎮🐻 (@benjitindz) reported

    @bobbybeardo @SMARTYMobileUK I ditched smarty due to shocking signal. Went to GiffGaff and since had no issues.

  • thomas5919 Thomas Rosser (@thomas5919) reported

    @giffgaff why is ur network so slow and why are we paying £25 for 50kb.

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

    @CoachCallum Hi Callum. We don't support eSIM's at this time we're afraid. - giffgaff Emer.

    giffgaff is the ugliest dumbest network ever, never ever again

  • harlequin_1963 Gary Mackenzie (@harlequin_1963) reported

    @giffgaff i left EE over a year ago due to poor service and lack of support. ( transmitter on maintenance for 2 years so no reliable 4g service) GiffGaff gives me a full 4g signal indoors , 100GB a month data and that costs me £20.00 for golden goodybag.
