    @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!

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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… 🙁

  • 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

    @VOXI_UK @giffgaff are the network to be with,10 years trouble free

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

    @Edyir_ Yes that was for NE17PF, the data appears to be slow in NE289HQ. You could try switching the mobile data connection from 4G to 3G in the meantime to see if that helps your connection, 1/2 - giffgaff Nicole

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff I’ve been through the community forum stuff and done your manual roaming. I think it’s just your service isn’t very good. I know loads of people who have the same experience. As I say, it’s cheap for a reason.

  • CraftyNigel Nigel Craft (@CraftyNigel) reported

    missing being with @ThreeUK I changed to @giffgaff but have had no signal for 2 months maybe I should go back to three , anyone else have this issue with giff gaff,had a bad signal with 3 at times but never this bad,giff gaff keep saying a mast being fixed surely not this long

  • DaveEllisDev Dave Ellis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DaveEllisDev) reported

    I love that using @giffgaff means having full signal constantly but still not having a working connection. It’s like being gaslit by your phone every time you leave the house.

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff Look I’ve literally got covid and I’m tired and we’ve just had to try and get power restored to our house during which time my crap giffgaff made that harder.
