    @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

    Bitten the bullet and ordered a new phone direct from apple, an iPhone 12 mini, going for closing o2 account and paying old phone off as their customer service are crap and I’ve had nothing but issues with them. I’m off with a giffgaff sim only deal so I’m not as tied in. #sorted

    @giffgaff please could you help? I bought a goody bag but my network coverage is awful and it would be better to downgrade the amount of data I have.
