    @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

    @Suse_Susie @VodafoneGroup @GBNEWS We buy our phones and use Giffgaff. No issues at all.

  • mizzoopa Mizzoopa (@mizzoopa) reported

    @giffgaff despite phone showing as having a 4G signal and 2 bars I have had no mobile data so no access the internet this evening. I have submitted a ticket but this is not showing in either the app or on the website.

  • faramog faramog (@faramog) reported

    @JanKay_ @VodafoneUK @GBNEWS Well done Jan I remember a call from Sky when I cancelled after the phone hacking... Poor operator was calling no end doing the same... Never had anything to do with them since I moved to GiffGaff... Essentially O2 network but a lot cheaper and more flexible... Can recommend

  • jessiemay1909 Jessie-May⚡️❤️ (@jessiemay1909) reported

    @giffgaff hi, I’ve had a nightmare trying to top up and it wouldn’t let me start a new goodybag early so I added credit to my account which I’ve done before but now the options have changed and I can no longer start a goodybag of £35 early. Can you help me please

  • JohnStumbles John Stumbles (@JohnStumbles) reported

    Why are mobile phone companies such a PITA? I thought @giffgaff were the exception but I've just spent several hours I'll never see again trying to set up my partner's own phone with them after we'd already put her younger child on it. >>

  • mac_plastic PlasticMac (@mac_plastic) reported

    @giffgaff It's now 14 days since I activated my replacement SIM. Still not connected to the giffgaff network! Last I heard, "the engineers are working on it ..." and that was last week ...

    @BeaumontDMD @VodafoneUK Think yourself lucky I've been stuck with EE and a **** signal nearly everywhere I work to a point where I've got myself a giffgaff £6 monthly deal and a cheap phone just so I can be got hold of just incase of an emergency

    @giffgaff I've reported this before and it wasn't fixed. Over to you to try and fix it. It was on the Android app. Please don't ask me to contact others at GiffGaff, I don't have time.
