    @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!

  • mrstevehuw Steve Huw (@mrstevehuw) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff It’s a shame that your signal where I live has gone terrible. Never used to be like this. What’s changed? Going to have to look for a different provider… 🙁

  • 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 I get mast issues can effect different sevixes I have worked for a number of mobile providers but the as I said in my original tweet 3 different sims and 3 different handsets. Also this has been ongoing for over a week now so I think its something a bit more than the mast issue

  • kendall1tau Ori (@kendall1tau) reported

    @O2 Please can you help, bought iphone XS @giffgaff it should be unlocked, however it's locked to O2 network (OK with Giffgaff sim). @giffgaff just can't seem to unlock the device to allow use on all networks. Realise its a big ask but is there anyway you can help me ? Thanks.

  • DakaraSpawnBlk Dakara_Spawn_Blk (@DakaraSpawnBlk) reported

    Right now my GiffGaff service on my phone is faster and more reliable than @virginmedia #virginmedia I can go on like this for days until I've been released from my contract or go to the #newspapers or #bbc to expidte things. Every month there's something. Luckily for now I CBA!

    @giffgaff Since switching to your network it's been terribly spotty & recently lost all connection no incoming/outgoing calls/texts. Done all we can with the phone, is there something else going on within the network? Some insight & when it will be back up. Area code DE1 3LD
