  @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… 🙁

  @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

  @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

  @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!

  MRP (@MRP_YT) reported 2 minutes ago

  @giffgaff Web based only ? How convenient. After lengthy email chain with David, received email from Aoife. Telling me that it can't help. WHAT? Are you actually care about customer requests?

• 
  UKAnabolic (@Ukanabolic) reported 4 minutes ago

  @CallumLyon Water meter fitted bills went from £69pm to £29. Car insurance £30 pm, phone on giffgaff £6pm and free calls and texts to others on same network. It isn't hard.

  Wow just when I thought Giffgaff had the worst network signal, @ThreeUK came to dethrone them. Genuinely what ******** is wrong with you all

• 
  Simon (@Simonli127) reported 5 minutes ago

  @giffgaff You never clearly informed customers of any specific time limit, such as 14 days or 30 days. This is completely misleading and feels like a deliberate attempt to take advantage of consumers. Isn’t this consumer fraud?

• 
  Leila - レイラ (@twistedhumanoid) reported 7 minutes ago

  @giffgaff almost 24 hours on my SIM still does not work. I have emailed customer services and still nothing! In this day and age, surely you at least have agents on hand for live chat?!

  giffgaff: “We’re different from traditional mobile networks.” They weren’t joking. Most networks take your money and provide a service. giffgaff apparently takes your money and provides a lesson in reading the Fair Usage Policy. Truly innovative. 👏🇬🇧

  区区本喵 (@WoPosth) reported 16 minutes ago

  I'm so disappointed about giffgaff suspended my SIM card. As a Chinese, I consistently feel discriminated by the rest of the world. I'm trying to exodus to a normal country to be treated like an ordinary earth human being. I just need some basic AI service natively as they are.

  Jo 🤍 (@Joa_Lipa) reported 17 minutes ago

  @giffgaff Thank you I have sent a complaint and responded to the previous agent, although it’s taking 24+ hours for a response apparently

  @dbcxptures i've had no issues with voxi and i've been with them for years (it's a little expensive if you want a realistically useable amount of data though, imo, compared to giffgaff for e.g. it's worth it for the consistency in signal/availability though)

  @giffgaff Could you please tell me why mine & daughters phones are constantly switching to emergency calls only? Also phones keep trying to connect to 5g which we don't have here - TA20 3SZ. My phone right now has 5 and award arrow. There doesn't appear to be any mast problem.
