  • 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

  • mrstevehuw Steve Huw (@mrstevehuw) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff It’s a shame that your signal where I live has gone terrible. Never used to be like this. What’s changed? Going to have to look for a different provider… 🙁

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

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

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

  • PassionOnlineUK Faith @ Passion (@PassionOnlineUK) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Hi, I'm experiencing problems with data for the third day running. No reception at all today in CF11 8AT

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

    @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

    @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

  • JohnMcb87149939 John Mcbeth (@JohnMcb87149939) reported

    @giffgaff highly disappointed in your unlimited goodybag used 80gig so says reduced service but christ 0.04mbps is a total joke #unlimitednot #newprovider #notworththe£25.00

  • GuyEmerson Guy Emerson (@GuyEmerson) reported

    @giffgaff When you are a student living abroad for a short but significant time, that is not sufficient and she cannot afford the charges. You have lost a young customer probably for life.

  • GuyEmerson Guy Emerson (@GuyEmerson) reported

    @giffgaff My daughter is a student who resides in the UK but is abroad for 3 months. Like I said poor choice as you lose a young person for what is highly likely to be forever. Your business.

  • M0KPH Phil - M0KPH (@M0KPH) reported

    @MX5AKA Good point. Whenever I searched GiffGaff 5G it presented a map showing good coverage without any mention that this was general coverage. Entering locations does allow you select, which wasn’t initially obvious. Better labelling would help, especially when accessed from tablets.

  • denisdevlin1 Denis Devlin (@denisdevlin1) reported

    I tell you what it is @giffgaff sort yourself out your service is absolutely rank rotten I've been with you a couple of years and tbh it's Al gradual decline absolutely piss poor service

  • PaJaBuzz Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (@PaJaBuzz) reported

    @ottocrat @giffgaff @ThreeUK If we all cancel our goody bags today, perhaps they will roll back. I have no allegiance to giffgaff at all.

  • bob_love Bob Love (@bob_love) reported

    @EE @StourbridgeMot1 "some"?? All my devices are on EE, I've had no Internet since around lunchtime (St Andrews, Scotland). Now back at home in Dundee, still same issue (using now via home broadband, but need to go out again). Not good enough. Had to buy a giffgaff sim for my car's wifi router.

  • LSvolopoulos Since .... 🇬🇷 🇬🇧 (@LSvolopoulos) reported

    @robertjoseph Some companies still have 2022 free roaming. Like O2 for example, weird cause giffgaff is using there network. There not very competitive and IMO they will lose clients

  • saramttnez Sara M. ☜ (@saramttnez) reported

    @AndyJBowes @giffgaff Not blaming them, I know the reason behind. But that doesn’t suit my needs as a customer anymore, so trying to find an alternative.

  • Alby alby 🇺🇦 (@Alby) reported

    @giffgaff How do I transfer my giffgaff number to another network?
