  @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… 🙁

  @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

  @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

  Hey @O2 I have a phone that's locked to your network but since I'm now on GiffGaff, I can't unlock it... What do I do?

  Dear giffgaff Team, I am writing regarding the email I received stating that my service (mobile number ending in 3047) will be disconnected due to extended use outside the UK. My account/number is 7768423047.

  Jacob Smith (@Smit3930) reported 7 minutes ago

  @giffgaff Oh my bad, I'll do that now.

  Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported 7 minutes ago

  @Jenny_1884 Dont stress about it @GiffGaff 5G is significantly slower than their 4G. Been like it for years, same on multiple different handsets & waste of time reporting it. Smarty has much better 5G coverage & speeds in my area. But overall 5G is really ****.

• 
  Fergus Kiely (@fergus_kiely) reported 10 minutes ago

  @giffgaff @KielyFergus Still unresolved. Giffgaff deliberately making it difficult to reclaim money that has been taken from my account without authorisation. Going to the regulator and will provide full disclosure as to resolution.

  @robj3d3 @IMAC2 @ThreeUK Ah dude that sucks. FWIW, I use giffgaff and they're happy so long as you top up every few months.

  Custom Wedding Portraits (@LoveFrameStudio) reported 11 minutes ago

  Giffgaff is cancelling users' SIM services, and many customers are unable to get a refund—this is terrible!

  Jay Smith (Sonic/Dragonwolf) (@DragonWolf5589) reported 12 minutes ago

  @tescomobile Says no issues. The problem is it been going on for several months. Reported again for now. Just odd my friends on giffgaff and o2 never have issues and tesco uses the o2 network and I have to use their phone or switch an a pay as you go sim on different network for data
