    @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 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

    @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 :)

  • thomas5919 Thomas Rosser (@thomas5919) reported

    @giffgaff why is ur network so slow and why are we paying £25 for 50kb.

  • hellofergus Hello (@hellofergus) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks for that but during what period to top up, call or text to keep service active?

  • Eli_Eli_s Eli_s (@Eli_Eli_s) reported

    @giffgaff hey! I've been a customer for years and have never had any issues but recently I have no Internet signal 90% of the time! Starting to think I may need to change providers but I really don't want to leave if I can help it 😩 any advice?

  • harlequin_1963 Gary Mackenzie (@harlequin_1963) reported

    @giffgaff i left EE over a year ago due to poor service and lack of support. ( transmitter on maintenance for 2 years so no reliable 4g service) GiffGaff gives me a full 4g signal indoors , 100GB a month data and that costs me £20.00 for golden goodybag.

    @Mark_Antony_3 We're very sorry to hear of your issues Mark. As long as you were using a card or PayPal, you should have had no problems adding a golden goodybag. Have you reached out to our agents about this? - giffgaff Jeanette

  • murray_hecht Murray Hecht (@murray_hecht) reported

    @AndyGibsonTV I moved to @giffgaff a few years ago. No problems at all, no contract, and you can choose a different bundle (and payment) each month.

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

    @fleming77 We're very sorry to hear this Jane. A SIM swap can take up to 24 hours, so if this was only completed, this may be why you're unable to use your new SIM. We can see you've already been speaking with our agents, so please update your case for further help. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • WithaVeeAy Stevan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@WithaVeeAy) reported

    @giffgaff I'm having trouble making a call to South Africa. All I hear is music rather than a ring tone, but I get charged as though the call was made - almost sounds as though the music is coming from the SA end. Worked fine until a couple of days back - 2 numbers. Any ideas?

  • Timmy17672437 Timmy (@Timmy17672437) reported

    @SteveFoxAST For the love of god get a Giffgaff sim and try it. No contract so at worst you waster £10 if the signal is bad or the networks to slow. But do it before your contract end just incase you need to go back to EE. EEs network is better that the O2 one which GG uses but the trade is £
