  • 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

  • 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 :)

    @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!

  • ManOfTungsten RL (@ManOfTungsten) reported

    @ask_burton I was on hold for >2 hrs this morning (cost me £40 in charges) before GiffGaff cut the call short. I have been urgently trying to get an ordered sorted but got no response, where are the customer service agents?!!

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

    @RJNewton93 We're sorry to hear you're having signal issues in more than one location. Have you been in touch with our online agents through your account? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • WithaVeeAy Stevan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@WithaVeeAy) reported

    @giffgaff I'm having trouble making a call to South Africa. All I hear is music rather than a ring tone, but I get charged as though the call was made - almost sounds as though the music is coming from the SA end. Worked fine until a couple of days back - 2 numbers. Any ideas?

  • MarkWalder2 Mark Walder ⚛️🇬🇧⚛️ (@MarkWalder2) reported

    @giffgaff why not sort out the network coverage instead of buying up peoples old phones for a fraction of what they are worth? i am seriously thinking about network change, its important sometimes for work to have good signal, i never ever get that.

  • MsNMcLoughlin Ms. McLoughlin (@MsNMcLoughlin) reported

    @giffgaff I can’t find the original box to return it, is that a problem? I can send in an iPhone box instead?

  • lehayman Leanne Hayman (@lehayman) reported

    @giffgaff service down again

  • markwilsonit Mark Wilson (@markwilsonit) reported

    @stewrogers Except EE doesn't work in my house... or basically at this end of town (so Wi-Fi calling doesn't help). O2 and Vodafone are the only viable networks for me, but giffgaff seems to be giving reduced O2 performance recently...
