    @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 :)

  • 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

  • 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… 🙁

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

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

    @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!

  • PassionOnlineUK Faith @ Passion (@PassionOnlineUK) 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

  • floralcalamity Not a melonpan 🦔 (@floralcalamity) reported

    @giffgaff I’m in Europe and my roaming is on but my internet speed is “E”. My husband’s a giffgaff member too and his internet speed is just fine. I’ve tried turning phone off and on, changing data settings etc but nothing is working. Please help asap

  • nickofmn0506 Nick Oliver 🇬🇧 (@nickofmn0506) reported

    @giffgaff Not a problem in Bath City Centre as the network there is crap and virtually non existent.

  • jackmcconnell Jack McConnell (@jackmcconnell) reported

    Having an odd problem where my wife, who’s on @giffgaff, can’t access a FreeDNS domain name to access Home Assistant. It works if I use a browser-based proxy though, so seems to be phone network related. Anyone else on GiffGaff and use Home Assistant that’s had issues?

  • MrJohnHumphreys John Humphreys (@MrJohnHumphreys) reported from Littlebourne, England

    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

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

    @amandafclark Okay, no problem. If you need anything else, let us know. Take care for now. - giffgaff Tasbiya

    @Readyornotq Hi there. We've had another look into this for you and our service should now be working fine in this area. Please can you reboot your phone off and on again, and then perform a manual roam to refresh your connection to the network, as this should help. - giffgaff Tasbiya
