    @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 Definitely not a browser issue for future reference with this error. It is now working on the same browser.

  • Cyclenut23 Jazz 🎺🚲🛶🏍🐶🐾 (@Cyclenut23) reported

    @sueranson @RoyalMailHelp @giffgaff Thats how bad they are. Both of them. 1st class letter, taking longer than 5 days. Thats a joke.

  • Cyclenut23 Jazz 🎺🚲🛶🏍🐶🐾 (@Cyclenut23) reported

    @giffgaff Why? Your customer service it terrible. Rated Number 1? In 8 years I've never been asked if you're good or not. Now, I'd say you were appalling.

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

    @TheCustomer14 We're very sorry to see this is occurring. Please try using a different browser or device to see if the issue remains. If so, get back to us through DM for further assistance. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @giffgaff How come when I pay for a golden package the internet is still slow currently at 0mbps this is ridiculous

  • thesilentgirl6 thesilentgirl (@thesilentgirl6) reported

    @Cyclenut23 @RoyalMailHelp @giffgaff Can’t you text and explain to the therapist your difficulties? I don’t know how it works but maybe they might understand or get a new sim and ring and explain? I don’t know they might because it’s an emergency

  • Cyclenut23 Jazz 🎺🚲🛶🏍🐶🐾 (@Cyclenut23) reported

    @UsernameBinkers @giffgaff The best for customer service apparently

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

    @Cyclenut23 We're very sorry to hear you're still waiting for your replacement SIM. Please get in touch via DM so we can try to help further with this. giffgaff Natalie.

  • Cyclenut23 Jazz 🎺🚲🛶🏍🐶🐾 (@Cyclenut23) reported

    @giffgaff I don't want to click links and find out. I want you to tell me why it is taking so long for me to get a sim card yet you still want my money and custom, after me being a customer for nearly 8 years with you.
