  • 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

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

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

  • 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

    @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!

  • 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

  • TowpathTim Tim (@TowpathTim) reported

    @jwflame @Adrianepdavey I get all my data via a £15/month giffgaff phone deal and just use a hotspot for my pc. Can't reliably stream HD and I dare say gaming would be way too frustrating to bother with. No problems otherwise.

  • ijjeeezy I, (@ijjeeezy) reported

    @giffgaff @PapaCobo Ive been with them for years and its been spot on using other networks i can say giffgaff are on another level the customer service is always on point. They sell phones aswell which ive purchased 10/10 Goodbags i used when i was in portugal worked fine

  • m1key_m Mikey! (@m1key_m) reported

    The fact that in 2022 I’m still struggling to get phone reception in the middle of Bristol is ******* shocking. @giffgaff might be good on prices but it’s terrible on reception.

  • mark_simpson Mark Simpson 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 (@mark_simpson) reported

    @antisyzygy Smarty. Changed to them a few weeks ago as Giffgaff/O2 coverage wasn't nearly as good around home. Previously was on Three for years with no issue and all has really been ok since on Smarty.

  • t_oliver24 Tom Oliver (@t_oliver24) reported

    Goes to France for 3.5 weeks with a £10 goody bag from @giffgaff which works fine. Adds £10 credit to my account for additional data, goes within 1 day. Wtf?

  • MissAnneMarie01 Kiwi gal Ⓥ (@MissAnneMarie01) reported

    @giffgaff I've just spent 3 weeks in Kent with no internet signal outside my daughter's WiFi. No signal in London either. O2 network clearly hasn't improved in the last 10 years since I lived in Oxford and had no signal in most of the city.

  • yuwen_yong Kerwin (@yuwen_yong) reported

    @giffgaff @giffgaff hey, this problem happened before when your website is okay. I think it is irrelevant to your website regarding whether I can make a call or not when roaming in the EU.

  • zophilpott Zoe Philpott (@zophilpott) reported

    @giffgaff Your ask agent doesn't co er this issue.

  • daherni Nicolás Daher (@daherni) reported

    @giffgaff I want to cancel my current goodybag to start a new one. I don’t have the option to do that in my dashboard as I still have data in my current goodybag, but I want to cancel it anyway. Any help in how I can do that?
