    @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 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 :)

  • 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 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!

    @Yorksims @giffgaff And yet Giffgaff have since gone back on their tweet from a few days ago and are saying it doesn't work?!

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

    @manx_maid We're very sorry about this Stephanie. If the website is blocked, then this is due to the website placing an over 18s link to it, not us. Each website has coding which is sent to the network and this is what we've picked up. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • Lisacshotmail Lisalashes (@Lisacshotmail) reported

    @giffgaff the service is poor, if customers have queries you should have people to answer their queries, i have a 2nd sim i need replacing asap, and no assistance to enable me to do so, this isn’t acceptable!

  • SarahCrust Sarah Crust 💙 (@SarahCrust) reported

    @giffgaff I have but no response. I need it fast as the warranty is nearing. Can you help please?

  • MikeHenson Mike Henson 🙉🙈🙊 (@MikeHenson) reported

    @bazzacollins I had reliability problems with GiffGaff/O2 with my alarm system so I bought a SIM from Libara/Vodafone which has given me a consistent reliable signal. I bought it through U-Switch and got a discount - I pay £3.50 a month but I do only send text messages.

    @giffgaff Hi, I haven't been able to receive any SMS to my mobile for days now. I can't do my online banking, I can't pay my clients. My business is affected. I might lose my house. Please help me!
