    @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!

    @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 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 :)

    @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 can't log in to my account as the login page just loads endlessly when I click login. I'm desperately trying to cancel my renewable goody bag as I don't live in the UK any more. Can I do it via DM? I can't call you guys as not in UK.

    @musichqhull Hi. Are you able to try your SIM card in another unlocked phone, or try another network SIM in your phone, to see if their work? As this will determine whether the SIM or the phone is the issue, Darren - giffgaff Jade

    Imagine having virgin media broadband which is broken 24/7 and then giffgaff for data which doesn’t load up anything 😭😭

    @MattEva64025022 A variety of ways. For example, EE primarily use it as a method of customer service, aiming to respond to customer queries as quick as possible. GiffGaff meanwhile create more jovial content, and like to chat about things like what toppings they like on their pancakes.

    @giffgaff Thanks for replying, but I think the problem is with @lebara, since they're the ones who aren't helping. Your website says "If you've submitted your PAC to your new phone company and still haven't been connected, it's time to get in touch with them", which I guess I'm doing now.

    @Sinbad2000 Hi Steven. Your would normally receive an email to let you know whenever the SIM is on it's way. All our SIM's would be sent using the postal service, not a courier. - giffgaff Emer.

    @giffgaff well I've just restarted my phone again and the speed has now increased to 6mb (hurrah) . As I say the same phone & sim card 10 mins down the road & the speed is 20mb+. Its the same with my spare phone which is on Tesco Mobile...so must be coverage I guess.
