    @giffgaff I ordered the Huawei P30 yesterday and you guys have sent me the P30 Pro.. My moral compass feels bad for accepting this, please advise :)

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • 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 I’ve tried the buy a goody bag, yesterday and today and it’s not working, my goody bag hasn’t been activated

  • 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 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!

    @giffgaff having loads of trouble since moved over like saying call will be charged and probs with sim #sortitout

  • PandaSquiish NinjaPanda (@PandaSquiish) reported

    @AnxiousHolly In the UK only a few carriers support esim. Its never mentioned in any adverts and its on contract only. PAYG networks like giffgaff don't support esim. I get the simplicity and convenience of esim but swapping between phones, how easy is it compared to just swapping a sim card?

  • DanielR26058162 Dan eddy (@DanielR26058162) reported

    @giffgaff is the network down in the North West area ?

  • UnknwnUsrZero Zero (He/Him) (@UnknwnUsrZero) reported

    @giffgaff Hey, just thought you should know, I received a SIM in the post today, for someone who doesn't live here, who has never lived here in the 10 years I've been here and I'm pretty sure has never lived here. What should I do with it?

  • sparkes66 Sue P (@sparkes66) reported

    @giffgaff no network for last couple of days and local information says it’s down to replacement of phone mast and due to be out for another 5 days. Where is the communication? I hope you will be giving a refund for the service you are not currently providing?

  • benno44775 Benno (@benno44775) reported

    @RJ_the_man87 @giffgaff Hi rj turn off voicemail by calling 1626 and turn it on by calling 1616. Does that help?👍🏼

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @callamia @giffgaff Do you have an iPhone and if so do you have wifi assist switched on (the default setting is on)? If so whenever you wifi signal drops or gets a bit weak your iPhone will use mobile data which you'll be charged for.

  • Aug24 Eh? I? (@Aug24) reported

    Hey @giffgaff - returned a phone to you via Royal Mail Tracked 24 and somewhere between being collected from my door and you, the package got emptied. So far, so bad - but it gets worse. RM say that they don't reimburse >£100. So your return service is unfit for purpose.

  • ShonaKimberleyM History'sLover (@ShonaKimberleyM) reported

    Is anyone having problems with their phone signals? @VodafoneUK #Vodafone was having trouble yesterday; now I have no sim card connection with #giffgaff @giffgaff ? Phones are fairly new too..

  • ka_sheridan Kathleen Sheridan (@ka_sheridan) reported

    @giffgaff Please can you give an email address where I can contact you about a refurbished phone? The ask a question on your website is frustratingly not working after going through several steps. Thanks.
