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

  • 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 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 :)

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

    @leaveciaraalone Reboot your phone periodically during the 24 hour activation period if the SIM is still showing out of service. If you still have issues after this time, send us a DM to have this looked into further. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • erabass Erato Basea (@erabass) reported

    @giffgaff why is it so difficult to transfer my old number to a new SIM? I'm trying to solve the matter since 4 January, and my old number will be closed in two days.. Your customer service via email leaves a lot to be desired, I am afraid. #giffgaff

  • VexNemorensis Vex Nemorensis (@VexNemorensis) reported

    Of course it doesn't help that I'm on GiffGaff so half my attempts to dial take like ten minutes to connect anyway... 🙄

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @giffgaff i can kinda put up with your slow internet, but no internet at all isn't worth paying for. Not happy with you.

  • Ayxxooo jose🍉 (@Ayxxooo) reported

    @dumplinglover59 WTF IS GIFFGAFF

  • _baretto Baretto ⚡ (@_baretto) reported

    @charlierward @giffgaff entire support service is based on their community

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    A 'manual roam' seems to have fixed my GiffGaff mobile data problem, at least for now. Interesting their support said there's an issue with O2 locally, though. I wonder if the O2 network is 'forgetting' GiffGaff customers?

    @monty_warbler @BootstrapCook Have a look at GiffGaff, they have some decent prices. Only issue is they're sim only so you need to buy a handset.
