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

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @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

    @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

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

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

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

    @Edyir_ Yes that was for NE17PF, the data appears to be slow in NE289HQ. You could try switching the mobile data connection from 4G to 3G in the meantime to see if that helps your connection, 1/2 - giffgaff Nicole

  • J_Ded Jon Marr (@J_Ded) reported

    @cruciomysoul @giffgaff It's a fault with the new software upgrade, if you have a look on here you will see that thousands of us have got the same issue regardless of network. The #Pixel6 is a complete waste of money, does everything but connect to a phone network since the "upgrade" I'm returning mine

  • CheltenhamRed CheltenhamRed (@CheltenhamRed) reported

    @VOXI_UK @giffgaff are the network to be with,10 years trouble free

  • sazzygeek Sazzygeek (@sazzygeek) reported

    So @giffgaff received my returned handset but unlike in the past where the return is handled within 24hours 48 at the very latest it seems their track info on returns page isn't even acknowledging a return. So annoying and you can't talk to anyone as zero phone support.

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff It’s not a transient issue because of the current power issue affecting our house. It’s ongoing poor performance. Constantly having to use Wi-Fi because my mobile connection is so poor. Text messages that just can’t send. Call strength that makes calls impossible at home.

  • DrSamHayes1 Dr Sam Hayes (@DrSamHayes1) reported

    @giffgaff But you’ve never offered this before when I have contacted. I’ve been persevering for months. I’ll decide later. Maybe. We have power restored and miraculously it’s still not working but at least I have Wi-Fi again.

  • seamus_mr Mr. Seamus McMichael (@seamus_mr) reported

    I seem to be getting no signal, my mobile network is GiffGaff

  • mr_bridger ROSPITALITY (@mr_bridger) reported

    @lnoormohamed @three Same here. At work full signal H+ won't even speed test. Sometimes get 4G, get 2 or 3 Mbps if I'm lucky. GiffGaff I'm getting 40+ down, 12up on 2 bars of 4G. Not tested 5g yet.

  • drvape999 Totally wicked (@drvape999) reported

    @giffgaff Not accepting an issue is a weak respy imo , I've checked coverage checker and there seems to be an issue, never had it in my area b4

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

    @DrSamHayes1 We can understand your frustrations with the situation you've been in with the service and we will do our best to help resolve this for you and with you Sam. We're not saying it is your fault, and do not mean to come across like that if we have. (1/2) - giffgaff Jeanette
