    @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

  • 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… 🙁

  • 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

    @giffgaff I have a SIM card that I used for one week last month and forgot to turn off auto renew. You will be able to see that the SIM card hasn't been active or even in use since then. Any chance you can help and refund the money?

  • PhysixGuy Matt (@PhysixGuy) reported

    Hi @giffgaff ! Looking to move away from @EE - Do you support WiFi calling yet?

  • EmmaLBus Emma (@EmmaLBus) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thanks, I DMed them but they were unable to help. Still waiting for a reply from customer support via the giffgaff app.

  • lucky1uke_ Luke Wilson (@lucky1uke_) reported

    @giffgaff will you ever give me a refund after I was delivered an empty cardbox on December 7? Your non-existent customer service is a disgrace. Don't respond that this must be extremely frustrating for me, just get it sorted!

    @O2 I am switching from Giffgaff to O2 and have inserted the new O2 sim card. I need help but O2 couldn't offer any suggestions on the chatline. I have updated the APN settings. I have filled in the online form to transfer old number via a PAC code. What next?
