    @giffgaff what is up with your signal in the south of the UK? Every time I’m working down here it’s next to impossible to get a signal! @VodafoneUK @EE is your service any better??

  • gGuinnessnut Bhoyalways1 (@gGuinnessnut) reported

    @ThreeUK This is 2nd time in as many months with this **** network, get better signal from pay&go o2, giffgaff ffs, disgrace

  • DirkBruere Dirk Bruere (@DirkBruere) reported

    @dshensmith @ThreeUK I use giffgaff Zero problems

  • FridoKala The ghost of Mughals past🔻🍉🍁 (@FridoKala) reported

    Got a 3rd phone from giffgaff to replace the refurb that I purchased over a year ago. This one doesn't work either. I think I am done trying to get a working phone from them and am just going to change provider. Do not buy refurbished phones from giffgaff.

    @O2 @giffgaff I'm on the Eurostar travelling back from Belgium. Signal tremendous all the way 5G /4G on Orange-B / Orange-F until I get to the UK when it keeps dropping and I get loading icons. Why in 2025 can't the UK have reliable signal throughout the country?

    @gatchacaz That's so weird! Also, I flirted with Giffgaff years ago. I hate the forum-based support. So weird!

    @giffgaff Hi, any explanation why Jersey is not included in your goody bags/roaming ? I'm there for the weekend and it doesn't work. My partner on O2 (Giffgaff uses its network) and it's included. Thx

    @MartinSLewis I’m with GiffGaff who use the O2 network, and I didn’t receive the emergency alert. I have an iPhone 7, currently running iOS 15.7.3, and I have the extreme and severe emergency alerts switched on in my settings/notifications.

    How frustrating… 20+yrs as @O2 customer, best deal for me to renew = £15 + annual rises, for new customers £8! So much for looking after customers! @giffgaff @£10 no price increase here I come!! (which is O2 coverage anyhow - but I’ll have more data now!)

  • clairegled Claire Gledhill (@clairegled) reported

    @giffgaff just received a second emergency alert this morning? Not to brag but…
