    @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 :)

    @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!

  • 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

    @O2 absolutely disgusted at your none existent customer service! I can do what I want via MyO2 but you phone line keeps cutting me off. Only been with you one day and want to leave back to giffgaff already!

  • fatiima_aah Fatima (@fatiima_aah) reported

    Giffgaff has the worst service ever!😡

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff I’d say anyone who want reliable mobile service just pay for a proper provider. There’s a reason it’s so cheap.

  • Covlad1981 John mccafferty (@Covlad1981) reported

    @amyhart1707 Good luck with the signal on 3,especially using the internet on mobile data.Recommend giffgaff 👌

  • Abriwhistleblo1 Abri whistleblower (@Abriwhistleblo1) reported

    Lols Nokia's are cheap as **** on eBay and Giffgaff hone has not been cloned so far unlike my ten year plus phone number.

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff I’ve asked for help before through your forum. Why different this time? I’ll see if I have the energy to try more giffgaff solutions. But that doesn’t explain why most times I can’t even send a text first time and have the resend multiple times just to text.

  • MarieWistuba Lady Muck frae Clabber Castle. (@MarieWistuba) reported

    @katiec1314 Giffgaff good and no contract, cancel anytime. Different price packages.

  • Balr0g Norma Ballingall 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@Balr0g) reported

    @katiec1314 Giffgaff is good and works on O2. Unlimited calls and texts with 15Gb data for £10 a month. No contract, cancel any time. They also have cheaper packages and you can change it every month.

  • standup220 Standup220 (@standup220) reported

    @giffgaff why is my internet running like utter **** it's been like this for days nothing is loading I've got more than enough data Sick of paying every month for data that barely works Maybe it's time for a new provider

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff It’s not a temporary signal issue. It’s a complete failure of your network to actually provide coverage. I’ve done all your community advice stuff and fiddled with settings and all sorts. It’s just useless.
