    @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

    @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

  • 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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • fluoresenz 🎹 Franz Schubert (@fluoresenz) reported

    I am in the process of terminating my domestic ISP contract early on the grounds of unreliability and continuously slow speeds. I've returned to mobile broadband. Get a phone that can work as a wi-fi hotspot or a cheap mobile router, plus a SIM from Smarty or Giffgaff.

  • lpz3 🌈Thoughts Aloud!😷 (@lpz3) reported

    @virginmedia I accessed that using paid for @giffgaff data when your broadband was off in our area for 4th time in 6wks (or less). @Ofcom - is there any scope for auto refunds when a service is not reliable? The 24hr loss of use thing is pointless for us as its off for less - but often!

    @pjmullins Oh dear, Paul. Are you still able to log into your account via a web browser, with no issues?- giffgaff Jade

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

    @ImperioBellaL Hi Rebecca. We have checked this and can see that there is still a problem with the mast in your area and unfortunately there's no update on when this will be resolved yet. We're so sorry, our engineers are working on getting this sorted out as soon as possible. - giffgaff Emer.

  • paulgardner303 Paul Gardner🌻🌍☀️🌈 #BLM (@paulgardner303) reported

    @giffgaff There has been an issue with the data connection in my area of Leeds since about 3pm yesterday. At times it is showing on my iphone as "No Service", while occasionally there is a 3G signal (normally it's 4G) and just one bar showing, no internet connection.

  • fluoresenz 🎹 Franz Schubert (@fluoresenz) reported

    Smarty is Three 3G and 4G, owned by the same company. The top speed I've had so far is over 38 Mb/s. It's usually slower in the daytime. Recently, I had 9 Mb/s but last night I had over 30 Mb/s. Giffgaff is less cheap and uses the O2 network. I've been with them since 2014.

    @jazzporridge We're so sorry to hear that didn't help. Please send us a DM, and we can look into this for you. - giffgaff Emer.

  • ImperioBellaL Rebecca Scorer (@ImperioBellaL) reported

    @giffgaff Any update yet? I still have no signal! What's the point in paying for a service if I can use it.

  • LordJimmy84 Jimmy (@LordJimmy84) reported

    @giffgaff both my and my wife's phones are showing us no network signal and it says emergency calls only is something wrong with the network?
