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

  • 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

  • lfcmossy @LfcMossy (@lfcmossy) reported

    @Mykiel_B @giffgaff Thanks for replying. I cancelled it the week before last and the app said that it was all done and I had nothing more to do. It’s just disappointing that you follow the steps on the app and they still don’t manage to get the it right. Very poor service.

  • sayersps Paul Sayers (@sayersps) reported

    @giffgaff How long does it take to transfer a number over to your network? Thanks

  • Mykiel_B MikeKAB (@Mykiel_B) reported

    @Angel51133622 @giffgaff Giffgaff has never had a call centre. It’s an online based service only. Agents will get back to you ASAP.

  • JaneClifford23 Jane C (@JaneClifford23) reported

    @psychcomm @VodafoneUK With no warning? That's outrageous. What if there was an emergency. Ps. I've got an online sim only contract with o2 for a tenner a month. Or payg giffgaff might do you.

    @giffgaff have you guys launched 5G support or not yet?

  • devscover Wayne, Devscover⚡️🎥 (@devscover) reported

    @giffgaff is there likely to be support for Apple Watch cellular in the future? I notice it supports your parent network O2

  • tradinguk Market Master (@tradinguk) reported

    I have tried, tested and critiqued every mobile data provider and @SMARTYMobileUK is by far the best available, compared to @giffgaff who are by far the worst and most unhelpful rude people I ever came across in 50 years
