    @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 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!

    @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 :)

  • 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

  • question_dog who me? (@question_dog) reported

    @giffgaff it's only when things go wrong when you see how good or bad a company really is. Trying to activate a replacement sim but your system has been down all weekend. Have you tried turning it off then on again? Or is nobody at work until Tuesday?

  • DrChemistryEmz Emma (@DrChemistryEmz) reported

    @Yorksims @Arednel @giffgaff Yes, sorry, I meant if they were available all the time the store is or only from the mobile phone mini shop. They’re available all the time on the tills, just grabbed one but can’t activate it until the morning. The sim is working though (shows signal) so looks good! Thanks:)

  • GimfelDweller Toni Web (@GimfelDweller) reported

    @giffgaff I have today received a sim card addressed to my address but the addressee does not live here and never has. I believe this could be a scam. who do I speak to please?

  • NickHackett2 Nicholas (@NickHackett2) reported

    @thom_horne @giffgaff What I’m saying is companies that leaked data should pay everyone who’s data got leaked compsatjon & fined for it. Whilst people that stole data go to jail. I never asked to be on a spam list. Action fraud don’t do anything except tell you to report it ti them on numbers.

  • Reflex1eye Brad 🐝 (@Reflex1eye) reported

    @giffgaff I really don't want to move company as I like how easy Giffgaff is to use but the past 3 months have been awful, only lets me load things I've searched for in URL bar before , sometimes nothing for a while. Spend most of the time using my mates hotspot. Any help?

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff You clearly do not under what these "alerts are" these are specific Alert Notifications for 02 WiFi hotspots. Suggesting users need to turn off their WiFi completely is just technical illiteracy. I don't get an Alert Notification every time my phone see's a WiFi network do I

  • ChericoRoo Cherico 🌻 (@ChericoRoo) reported

    @giffgaff Could you confirm which network you piggy back on? I’m@looking to seitxh but we only have a signal with Vodafine here. Also what are your EU data roaming prices?
