    @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

    @rachelabbiee You should have no issues then, unless you don't qualify for the RLAH feature. Have you been in touch with our agents through your account? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • CJWass Chris Wass (@CJWass) reported

    @giffgaff do you support or plan to support esim?

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

    @TheIronSkull We're sorry to hear this. Please try the SIM in another phone, to check if there's an issue with the SIM or phone to cause this. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • STattisconie Silvio Tattisconie ©💎 (@STattisconie) reported

    @Ne3Steve Yes, the most I've used is 5gig when we had a break down your way but everyone was tethered onto my phone as they couldn't get data. Giffgaff don't give as much data but you can buy new phones from them that are cheaper than airtime providers.

  • TheIronSkull IronSkullProductions (@TheIronSkull) reported

    @giffgaff I spend £1100 on a new Samsung S20 Ultra 5G and the screen keeps saying 'not registered on network' Is there an issue with your network? Or do I switch to a better provider?

  • magicroundabout Ross Wintle (@magicroundabout) reported

    I hate to be so negative. I really do. But I've just found a THIRD website that doesn't work with Firefox's default tracker blocking. So I'm naming and shaming: @giffgaff @WooCommerce @harvest Your websites are all broken in Firefox with default settings. Sort it out please!

  • RichEThomas Rich Thomas 💙 (@RichEThomas) reported

    @giffgaff You’re about to lose 4 customers to EE unless you can get @O2 to sort out signal coverage in the CO5 area… no reliable service now for 2 months and counting… 😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported

  • dtylam Lam Dono Kebab 😷💉💉 (@dtylam) reported

    @giffgaff I don’t know what to say, two of us joined giffgaff at the same time and it is awful on TfL (tube segments between Richmond and Chiswick), high street shops indoors, and on the Kew Bridge bridge etc. Our phones would just say 3G with 1-2 bars. Just going to try other carriers
