    @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 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 :)

  • 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 hi, I need to reject the new offer made for my phone but the link on the email is broken and I can find no other way to get in contact... please help!

  • JANEDART5 CROW Mark2 (@JANEDART5) reported

    @giffgaff I am not going to consent and allow the Government to send their corrupt emergency alert on 23rd. So are you going to cut my phone off? Are you condoning this? This is breaching GDPR. Are you going to try and force us to accept it and then cut off our phone? Thanks

  • Aug24 Eh? I? (@Aug24) reported

    Hey @giffgaff - returned a phone to you via Royal Mail Tracked 24 and somewhere between being collected from my door and you, the package got emptied. So far, so bad - but it gets worse. RM say that they don't reimburse >£100. So your return service is unfit for purpose.

    @EE I switched to EE from giffgaff migrating with my number am not on any network now and have not heard from EE although they have already taken payment

  • bumblegoth BumbleGoth 🐝🦇 (@bumblegoth) reported

    @giffgaff hello, just switched to your network. How do I enable WiFi calling? I live in an area with extremely poor signal and WiFi calling is the only way I'm able to receive and make calls at home. Thank you.

    @UnknwnUsrZero The link above won't require you to have an account, if you scroll down and press 'Make A Complaint', it will direct you to a page where there is an option saying 'Not A Member? No Problem' and you will be able to continue. - giffgaff Dana

    @DevonportDreams o2/giffgaff is awful at home park! alot of people find it works ok on 3g as most are on 4g but i wouldnt recommend it. Plymouth is behind the times with 5g tech.

  • ilfuturo_ F🇬🇧✝️ (@ilfuturo_) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I bought an £8 goodybag and it says I can roam in EU area. Now I am in Italy, and the problem is that the 4GB data doesn't decrease but my top-up credit has been used up. How can I fix this problem?

  • jomaccers Jo Smith (@jomaccers) reported

    @giffgaff why was my data used during a FaceTime group call that I never accepted? I have run out of my monthly data because of this.
