  • 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’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

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

    @jonabluse Hi there. When your number transfers over to another network, you will lose any remaining giffgaff credit and any payback points you've accumulated. The account will then also become unusable. - giffgaff Tasbiya

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

    @DanielJohnRyan Hi Daniel. We're very sorry to hear this. Can you please send us a DM with your full postcode, so we can help further? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • tooftalf 𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕄𝕖𝕝 𝕁𝕒𝕪𝕓𝕖𝕖 (@tooftalf) reported

    @giffgaff can you help please? Tried to send a text to someone which included an emoji and get a "message failed" notification. Plenty of credit on my phone. When I click on the message I don't seem to be able to edit it, just retry or cancel.

    @ktb2102 Hi Kate, How can we help? - giffgaff Ann

  • ktb2102 Kate (@ktb2102) reported

    @giffgaff Website says mast is out so service is down - I didn’t think to check before purchasing as my main mobile is on the o2 network and is working fine

  • joelhacking Joel Hacking (@joelhacking) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. I received a text message this morning telling me my number will switch across to GiffGaff. I've not instigated this as I'm not a GG customer. Is there a way you can look into this? I don't have a GG account. Thanks!

  • calliope_olive Natalie (@calliope_olive) reported

    @Apple @Vodaphone4 please can one of you sort out my broken phone and not pass the buck between the two of you; i will be buying an android and moving to giffgaff.

  • ApolloBelladona ☆ Apollo ★ (@ApolloBelladona) reported

    Just upgraded to a Galaxy S8 from an S6 Edge. I've inserted my @giffgaff sim and I'm getting poor signal in data and phone. Trying to make a call brings up a no network msg. Any solutions to fixing this?
