    @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

    @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 ordered the Huawei P30 yesterday and you guys have sent me the P30 Pro.. My moral compass feels bad for accepting this, please advise :)

    Help me out! Whose the best phone network to go to? I'm thinking giffgaff or lebara? Anyone who dares suggest three or ee will be told to f**k off and blocked!

  • DanHallas Dan Hallas (@DanHallas) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff @O2 Sadly as GiffGaff use the O2 Network, of which O2 and Vodafone 'share' masts. GiffGaff won't be able to repair a mast and will just continuously fob people off saying the 'network is busy', when in fact it's an infrastructure issue. Fix the mast issue and the network will be fine

  • oxgizz ALIS SPACE (@oxgizz) reported

    @giffgaff my network is not working what’s going on ??

  • susalling I am Salling (@susalling) reported

    @cag352 @giffgaff I had GiffGaff for years and was very happy with it. Only reason I changed to Smarty (that I am also happy with) is that GiffGaff do not offer wifi calling. We have a bad signal here so wifi calling is useful.

  • Hnc365 Howard Croston 🟠 🏁🇬🇧🇬🇬 (@Hnc365) reported

    @giffgaff @cag352 I left O2 with an expensive price increasing contract and came over to @giffgaff to get exactly the same network coverage and paying alot less for alot more data etc. I pay £10 a month for 15gb and often receive a goodybag extra of a further 1gb. Wife and family have now joined

  • Monkeyboy2k1 . (@Monkeyboy2k1) reported

    @giffgaff is your connection down in South Wales for the last couple of days 4g isn’t working and have data

  • Leah20999854 lea3345 (@Leah20999854) reported

    @giffgaff please help, my mobile data isn't working? Says I have no limit and I don't think I've gone overboard but I'm getting nothing and having to rely on WiFi? I just want to gym to my own music 😩

  • DanHallas Dan Hallas (@DanHallas) reported

    @giffgaff The network's busy because there's mast issues in the area, causing other masts to run at a higher capacity causing strain on the network. I'm less than 50Meters from a mast yet I can't even get a 4G signal?? When are these going to be rectified? Its been on-going for months now

  • dereksmithboro1 derek smith (@dereksmithboro1) reported

    @giffgaff This is one of the most pointless posts you've made while reality TV is off the air 🤔 disappointing Giffgaff. As a mobile network you're in the lead, but quit with the "lifestyle" posts. Tweeted while eating a sausage and bacon bun with tomato sauce.
