  • 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

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @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!

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

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

    @RCModelGeeks No problem at all, we hope the agents can get your issue resolved ASAP. - giffgaff Megan

  • ProudHeadTeach1 Proud Former Head Teacher (@ProudHeadTeach1) reported

    @ed_objective I’ve always been happy with @giffgaff Flexible so can change rate pay each month depending on how much you use. Most range up to £20 a month. Only paid 10 last month with my own phone. Rates seem to have come down over the years been with them. No long term contract.

  • Luton_Spurs Buzztone (@Luton_Spurs) reported

    @giffgaff who on Earth is responsible for your latest tv ad? It’s one of the worst I’ve seen!

  • CoreyUTB Corey (@CoreyUTB) reported

    @giffgaff why’ve I had no service all day? Is there some kind of issue

  • LawAndPolitics3 LawAndPolitics 🇺🇦 (@LawAndPolitics3) reported

    @giffgaff are terrible. Can’t reset password, can’t activate sim. Why is everything with your company so hard? Can’t get support because you can’t log in. Terrible terrible service.

  • jambuslang jambuslang/ジェイミー🧋 (@jambuslang) reported

    I need to find another mobile provider. Currently with Giffgaff and can barely get a signal whenever I leave the house. What's the point then?

  • RCModelGeeks RC Model Geeks (@RCModelGeeks) reported

    @giffgaff Yes done all that multiple times. 2 different devices 2 different sim cards. Both have poor signal and data download of around 1Mbit and upload of 256kbit. A tenth of what it was a few days ago...

  • Junebug_Minis Junebug Minis (@Junebug_Minis) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Today is the 30th day and I can't request a PAC because the form keeps redirecting me to the general "want to report a problem?" page. I genuinely don't know what to do and I can't reach anyone who can help me. They "aim to reply within 24h" but what if they don't?

  • Alexlotl Alex Holland (@Alexlotl) reported

    @scottcrussell I found O2/GiffGaff basically unusable in any very busy urban area - lots of signal reported, but you couldn’t even send an SMS half the time, let alone use data. Switched Voxi (Vodafone) and it’s worlds better.

  • manx_maid Stephanie Brooke (@manx_maid) reported

    Well it's only taken 2 days to find where I put the old MiFi, sellotape the new mini SIM into the middle of the old giffgaff one and now half an hour to extract the last little bit of the broken SIM out of the phone with a needle . .
