    @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… 🙁

    @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!

  • 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

    message 'You will have 2 wait for number transfer2 complete'. Why? Just send me a PAC Code so that I can leave Giffgaff and get decent service elsewhere. Obstructive and totally anti Customer Service

  • MsDiamondPearl Diamond Pearl (@MsDiamondPearl) reported

    @giffgaff why does your data /internet access never work? it's either super slow despite a 4g connection, or it tells me I have 4g but never loads a single thing and tells me I have no internet connection. My friends and family are experiencing the same thing!!!!
