    @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!

    @Peter_Gustafson Don't bother. Get refurbished phone from giffgaff and sim only deal from Smarty. Cheaper, easier and all done online. Never need a contract again

  • mattdhp Matthew Harding-Payne (@mattdhp) reported

    @giffgaff If someone is having payments taken out of their bank account but hasn't got an account or SIM with you, who do they contact? A friend is in this situation, and her bank said to contact you, but she can't without making an account? Any help would be appreciated!

    @giffgaff I’m trying to leave your network. I need to get a NUC form filled out. So I can get my new sim to work on the phone. Apparently it’s locked to gift gaff. I just need help. Your website is so unhelpful there’s l it really nothing online to do with this.

  • FMCJ10 Chris (@FMCJ10) reported

    @Tim_Arnold1977 @giffgaff Once 5g was installed round here, which we don't get access to - only Bilborough. Speeds went to ground, I switched to the same network as Kate and I haven't looked back.
