  • 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

  • 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

    @Rania06396702 We're so sorry to hear that didn't help, Rania. We are investigating intermittent log in issues with the app, so hopefully this will be resolved soon. We would recommend that you keep trying, but in the meantime, you should be able to log in on the website. - giffgaff Emer.

  • yorkshiredadof4 Dave | Yorkshire Dad of 4 (@yorkshiredadof4) reported

    @giffgaff I called the number and got GiffGaff voicemail. Sorry, I'll clarify, it didn't come FROM GiffGaff but it came from a number on your network.

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

    @StephanieFishw1 You would lose service on your old SIM once the number transfer has gone through. However, it can take up to 9pm on your transfer day for your number to be fully transferred across. - giffgaff Emer.
