    @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

    @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 Are you still having issues with a mast not working properly in the ch41 area or has the issue been fixed

  • clarinette02 clarinette Datarainbow 🌈Privacy Advocate (@clarinette02) reported

    @kevtownsend Have you tried calling as a new customer? I could never get anyone when trying to cancel the subscription few years back. Cancel and get a Giffgaff pay as you go redeem SIM. No hassle.

    @mnb1806 Hello there, Sorry to hear that. Please safely note down your login information, so that you're able to login after any updates. - giffgaff Ann

    @Secondcitylee It can take up to 24 hours from activation for your service to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot your phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

  • BusinessBad4 Bad4Business (@BusinessBad4) reported

    @giffgaff Very kind of you but... I had to go to the ombudsman, but GiffGaff blame the devices and ombudsman accept. Thus - No support. I've already left your company as you were not willing to investigate the fault. I feel sorry for the rest of your customers. Good luck with the fault!

  • mnb1806 mnb1806@gmail.com (@mnb1806) reported

    @giffgaff This doesn't help when 2 of them are my parents phones and they're 11 miles away trying to sort it in these strict times 🙄

  • ssbib85 Salford Citizen (@ssbib85) reported

    @giffgaff please help. Activated wife’s SIM over 24 hours ago and requested to move number across from old giffgaff sim also. It’s not finished and now neither SIM is working. What could be the hold up? Thanks.

  • Secondcitylee Hoochy Koochy (@Secondcitylee) reported
