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

    @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

  • alexbloor 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 (@alexbloor) reported

    Next issue with changing phones... I'd probably pick up a pixel 6 pro... And it's dual sim! Oh but wait, one has to be eSIM. Well I'm sure one of my 2 networks offers eSIM. GiffGaff... No. Three...... No. Genius.

  • _katefm Kate French-Morris (@_katefm) reported

    @O2 @giffgaff day 8 of mostly no service in NW3. How long does it take to repair a mast?

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @WarlockGlyndalf No worries Glyn, we recommend rebooting your phone several times within this time frame also to help with this and if the problem persists, you can get back in contact with us then - giffgaff Nicole

  • HGooner14 HGooner14 (@HGooner14) reported

    @giffgaff Very disappointed. My internet used to work smooth on the £20 plan, yesterday I upgraded to the £35 plan and it feels like it’s throttled as it’s very slow and pages takes long to load. I’m paying more yet the service is much worse 🤔

  • jamesoneill James O'Neill (@jamesoneill) reported

    @virginmedia have you had a most-of-the-day outage in the OX14 area ? My GiffGaff (i.e. O2) fall back gave up, which is usually a sign of abnormal load on their side - many people going from cable to 4G/5G.

  • girlgeorgexo lizzie laszlo (@girlgeorgexo) reported

    @giffgaff I need to talk to an agent, pls can someone help?

  • WarlockGlyndalf Glyn Roberts (@WarlockGlyndalf) reported

    @giffgaff How long after switching will I start getting useable mobile Internet speeds? Switched yesterday but only getting 0.2 mbps up and around the same down. Checked the usual solutions but no luck.

  • DJ_Unreal DJ Unreal (@DJ_Unreal) reported

    @alexbloor O2 support eSim... So GiffGaff should get it eventually. Hopefully...

  • sam34029538 BillPiff (@sam34029538) reported

    @giffgaff yep and all the other issues i have. basically ignored. they only focused on the fact i asked for a refund. abit like you just did in relation to the other messages ive sent

  • jruddy99 John Ruddy (@jruddy99) reported

    @hapsci Thats weird, because giffgaff use the O2 network (as do Tesco Mobile and others) and I've usually found the O2 service to be fine.... not an expert on iPhones, though!
