  • 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

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

    @giffgaff I’ve tried the buy a goody bag, yesterday and today and it’s not working, my goody bag hasn’t been activated

  • 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

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

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @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 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 :)

    @FelicityCloake @O2 Have you looked at Giffgaff? V reasonable costs, and I've been a customer for years with no issues (one tiny outage in service in all that time)

  • jruddy99 John Ruddy (@jruddy99) reported

    @hapsci Thats weird, because giffgaff use the O2 network (as do Tesco Mobile and others) and I've usually found the O2 service to be fine.... not an expert on iPhones, though!

  • WarlockGlyndalf Glyn Roberts (@WarlockGlyndalf) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. After several restarts and network resets speed is still unusable. At around 7 am it was OK but from 8am zilch. Now down 0.1 up just fails. Using Ookla Speedtest.

    @ItsCallumtomz Hi Callum. We completely understand your frustration, however, we can see that a mast nearby isn't working, so this is why you're having issues. You wouldn't need to SIM swap, so don't worry about that. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • HGooner14 HGooner14 (@HGooner14) reported

    @giffgaff Very disappointed. My internet used to work smooth on the £20 plan, yesterday I upgraded to the £35 plan and it feels like it’s throttled as it’s very slow and pages takes long to load. I’m paying more yet the service is much worse 🤔

  • championbankole Michael Bankole (@championbankole) reported

    @giffgaff This still doesn’t fix the issue. My email has 2FA active. I left 2FA off for giffgaff so I could access my account from anywhere to request a sim. I will not be able to access my email until I have my phone number HANDY

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

    @championbankole If you could access your emails via another device Michael if you have lost your phone, then this would help you get the verification codes - giffgaff Nicole

  • ItsCallumtomz Callum (@ItsCallumtomz) reported

    @giffgaff Any timescale on when it’s going to be fixed? I don’t fancy waking a few streets away to get service for the next few weeks

  • HGooner14 HGooner14 (@HGooner14) reported

    @giffgaff Yes, I have just raised a complaint in regards to this as it’s unacceptable and I’ve contacted the Ombudsman with regards to this issue as I’m not being able to use the services that I paid for.

  • michaelocyoung Michael Young (@michaelocyoung) reported

    Hello @giffgaff A friend who is on a rival network (but one which also uses O2 infrastructure) has had EU roaming charges implemented. Can you confirm that you are going to continue not charging for EU+Norway roaming - at least until July?
