    @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

    @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

    So glad this will be my last evening for a while and I only got this phone this month. thank @giffgaff for spying and assuming and trying to smite me with injections. They never answered who they assumed I was with. Nor why they don't get what a guideline is.
