    @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!

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • HollieNev Hollie Nevison #45 (@HollieNev) reported

    @giffgaff can't return a non-working phone without fitting into a specific category. Can't request help without fitting into a specific category. Phone will not update, phone will not transfer data until updated which renders it useless. A little help please?

  • GraceAnatomyUK Grace Anatomy (@GraceAnatomyUK) reported

    Both my mobile service and my broadband are down. I've found an unsecured network to join but it's still scary! #giffgaff

  • hereport Patricia Dyer (@hereport) reported

    @MoneySavingExp Will it affect Giffgaff customers, who use the O2 network?

  • peterkin1010 Peterkin2020 (@peterkin1010) reported

    @telecom_mast @Phonemast Well, smart Alec.Voxi ISN'T a network for starters. It's a concept to utilise the Vodafone network for younger users who want a cheap as chips service and who would probably be off to Three or perhaps its closest competitor, GiffGaff. EE have tried limiting parts of their...

    @giffgaff Please support Wi-Fi calling or else I’ll have to switch to another provider 😓

  • yasirkhidr yasir (@yasirkhidr) reported

    @giffgaff please please activate WiFi calling,it is the only missing service

  • Jennife13678800 Jen Jen ♥️💙❤️ (@Jennife13678800) reported

    Can @giffgaff sort your bloody website out every frigging month I can't get log in.... Frigging joke... Never known anything like it... One more month of this and il be leaving... 😤😤😤😤😠😠😠

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @Jon__crawford @giffgaff I can only suggest you contact Oneplus to see if the last update should have cured it but there seem to be multiple firmware problems because since an update in Sept users on Three are saying they can't get 5G any more and I've seen reports that the 9 series won't work with O2 5G

  • messagewords Tim Gray (@messagewords) reported

    @PonyPonyPony4 If it helps, you could get a Giffgaff sim and buy a one-month 'goody bag' (though of course that would mess up calls /typingpastbedtime). Hope you find a solution.

  • onerealbeanie onerealbeanie (@onerealbeanie) reported

    @giffgaff Sorry, I've got to say I find this new voicemail voiceover guy irritating. Please kindly go back to what we've had for years. Why fix something that isn't broken?? Far too slow, overly "personal", and in my face. Voicemail is a deal breaker for me .
