  • 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

    @giffgaff That's bad. Well behind the competition. O2 offer it and you use their network. Oh well will look elsewhere.

  • steven_ncl StevenNCL (@steven_ncl) reported

    @SirRtHonSimonV1 @EE well yeah and it's unlocked which means if SMARTY doesn't work for me I will try GiffGaff (who I have for my work phone) or someone else

  • DelphineMusic ☕ LeliBug ☕ (@DelphineMusic) reported

    @giffgaff Confused how iPads work with your SIM Cards. NO APNs work & Officially you have NO iPadOS APNs that I can find The Official APN you have is for ANDROID. The others were “unofficial” & on forums. Your Customer Services were no help at all. Bought £10 bag & not working!

    @MotoringEvents @Sir56ALot @thealso I'm on Giffgaff, never had a issue, just got back from Kos and had good service

    @JayPalmer17 Hi Jay. As the giffgaff SIM is working in another phone it seems that the issue is not with the SIM itself. We would recommend getting in touch with the manufacturer of the phone so that they can look into this for you - giffgaff Hannah

  • jquinnink Jamie Quinn (@jquinnink) reported

    @JayPalmer17 @giffgaff Did you manage to find a fix?

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

    @manansaddique Oh dear. As your giffgaff SIM card is working fine in another phone, it sounds like the issue is with the phone itself. Have you tired a non giffgaff SIM card in your new phone? - giffgaff Jade

  • JayPalmer17 Jay Palmer (@JayPalmer17) reported

    @giffgaff I've tried this and it still won't connect. I've put an EE sim in the phone and it connected instantly so it's an issue with giffgaff not the phone

  • lankylegohead Jason (@lankylegohead) reported

    @thealso @ThreeUK I didnt really have any complaints with GiffGaff when I was with them, except their signal was usually worse than people sat next to me on O2 (they use the same network, so thought that was weird).

  • CammieRacing Cammie Racing (@CammieRacing) reported

    @giffgaff The last time I used the online agents they took 2-3 days to respond which is going to be too slow if your team is going to send a replacement phone I don't want. I just want my money back, no more refurb phones with faulty batteries please. Give me a phone number to call plz.
