  • 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 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

    @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

  • andybee Andy Buckingham (@andybee) reported

    @gav You’re likely to get poorer bandwidth allocation on a cell when on a network like GiffGaff. GG will have a smaller share of O2’s capacity, in turn carving that up between all the 3/4/5G traffic on the cell. Potentially end up with a useless amount allocated.

    Called my mobile's voicemail to keep a service alive and I didn't realise that giffgaff had such a northern sounding default voicemail message.

  • capeverdeanvibe Tina Not Turner 🇨🇻 (@capeverdeanvibe) reported

    @giffgaff my sim has been unavailable for almost 24h. I can’t make or receive calls or texts. No data usage too. It’s not a coverage issue as well as I’m all over London since yesterday

  • capeverdeanvibe Tina Not Turner 🇨🇻 (@capeverdeanvibe) reported

    @giffgaff my network ???

  • 1Joshwa 🚑🌈Josh 🇪🇺👨‍⚕️ (@1Joshwa) reported from Patchway, England

    @giffgaff your 4G full bar signal doesn’t even load a webpage 😩 #giffgaff

  • carolinejoyw Caroline Joy Watson (@carolinejoyw) reported

    @giffgaff Hi I’ve tried both the app and the website. My card details are up to date and I usually have a recurring goody bag. Think something is broken as I’ve not been able to add credit all week but thought it was because I was abroad

  • bigmonmulgrew BigMonD (@bigmonmulgrew) reported

    @giffgaff Update, the agent "as a gesture of goodwill" refunded the sms charges, as if that was the point. Either my sim has been cloned or giffgaff has a billing issue. Given no one has had access to the sim its been cloned without access or before giffgaff sent it me. Both major issues
