  • ChrisOverthrow Chris Overthrow (@ChrisOverthrow) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @brendonvbone I was with giffgaff (o2) and its bollocks. Now with Vodafone. I get decent signal apart from half time. At half time I can get some internet but it's very slow. That's unavoidable with 18k people all using their phones though.

  • pachallis Peter Challis (@pachallis) reported from Fareham, England

    @notmany4benny @carterBFC @SamsungUK One of the disadvantages of living in rural locations. At least you must have beautiful views instead. I had problems with Three and I live 200m from a transmitter where I get flaky voice calls. Apparently I need a Three supplied phone to get VOLTE. Currently on O2/Giffgaff.

    @giffgaff my signal has been atrocious around london. In town centres it has also been non existent! I have been with you for ten years and this is how you treat me 👀👎

  • Th3Oasis Matt Hawkins (@Th3Oasis) reported

    @ANewChapterBks @misssheppp It reminds me of the giffgaff "evil step parents" advert. Complete disaster and should have been shot down in the first 60 seconds of the pitch.

  • TractorJem TractorJem (@TractorJem) reported

    .@giffgaff You really have ruined my sons birthday by selling me an iPhone which had it's EMEI number blocked - ie stolen or had debts owing on it: No replacement after a week. Terrible after sales service. Hopeless company. I am sure it is illegal so sell a blocked phone.

    @VOXI_UK need to complain about your unacceptable service, as I transferred my number from giffgaff since last Wednesday and I have no functioning mobile phone number since and I cannot get anything done from two factor authentication to calling an emergency! Great job Voxi…🤬

    @DanielMorris___ @giffgaff Are you able to cancel the contract straight away? As I only need the phone 2

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @JazzieBum Hi Jasmine 👋 When did you lose service on your GiffGaff sim card? If the port is going through today, it should be completed by 6pm. Please restart your phone with your O2 sim card inserted at regular intervals until your signal returns.

  • Leesa_wallace Leesa Wallace (@Leesa_wallace) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. I used a PAC code to switch my number from 02 to you for 26th April. I cancelled that moments later, as I wanted to do it at a later date. My 02 number seems to have stopped working today but it hasn't ported across to you. Can you help?

    @giffgaff Nope. Never had to before. Will it be sorted via website or what?
