    @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!

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • mrstevehuw Steve Huw (@mrstevehuw) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff It’s a shame that your signal where I live has gone terrible. Never used to be like this. What’s changed? Going to have to look for a different provider… 🙁

  • PassionOnlineUK Faith @ Passion (@PassionOnlineUK) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Hi, I'm experiencing problems with data for the third day running. No reception at all today in CF11 8AT

  • 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

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @wendylynnzhang @giffgaff Hello Wendy. Are you still having problems with accessing internet ?

  • _realFIFA GiovAlly van BronkCoist (@_realFIFA) reported

    @giffgaff why is your reception all over the Uk so poor?

  • TulipsisonBlair Happy (@TulipsisonBlair) reported

    @giffgaff Is your system down? It told me I had wrong passeord, despite it being auto saved. Password link emailed, but I've not received it. I can't activate the sim and I need it this afternoon. Tesco mobile will be getting an instore sale by the look of it.

  • PrimaryMike noname (@PrimaryMike) reported

    @giffgaff You could try fixing your authentication…without fail, every time I want to log in and manage multiple phones I need to reset everything. Try managing 3 kids phones via a phone that’s not on gifs gaff. Almost impossible

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

    @_realFIFA If the manual roam hasn't helped, and it's occurring in more than one place, please send us a DM and we can help further with this. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • katiem565 Katie Mills (@katiem565) reported

    @__Myron__ @giffgaff It’ll be 4 weeks tomo! They couldn’t replace phone so I asked for a refund, they’ve just given me £149…for an £800 phone, they’re a joke! Impossible to contact and impossible to resolve any problems

  • chris_davies11 Chris Davies (@chris_davies11) reported

    @giffgaff if I was to leave your network would you refund any credit I have left or would it be lost, I'd be looking at porting number out as well

  • Lee_E_Collins Lee E Collins | Reassuringly Daft (@Lee_E_Collins) reported
