  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @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

  • katejones_cymru Kate Jones (@katejones_cymru) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff I’ve tried the buy a goody bag, yesterday and today and it’s not working, my goody bag hasn’t been activated

  • 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

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @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 :)

    @giffgaff Please don’t. The phones sold are broken and not fixed before you buy them.

  • DeepSteak Dr Magnus Pym (@DeepSteak) reported

    @LittleSausage @O2 @giffgaff All the major mobile phone companies are the same…they don’t give a **** about rural customers

  • bookmadmum Sara Clifford-Gray (@bookmadmum) reported

    @ThreeUK I am no longer with your network so why do you insist on calling me twice a week to ask me if I want to come back? The fact that you hound me with phone calls doesn’t make me want to return - I’ll stick with @Giffgaff thanks as they leave me alone and don’t harass me

  • SOLIDLIQUID5 SOLID LIQUID (@SOLIDLIQUID5) reported

    @giffgaff YOU ARE CLEARLY A SECURITY RISK AND SOMETHING PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW AND BE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT I CAN TELL YOU I WILL NEVER EVER USE YOUR SCUMBAG SERVICE AGAIN . AND I REALLY HOPE YOU LOOSE ALL CUSTOMERS AND GO BANCKRUPT AND YOU ALL LOOOSE YOUR JOBS

  • Queenjunkfood crisp connoisseur (@Queenjunkfood) reported

    @SOLIDLIQUID5 @giffgaff At a certain point they can just block you because you're technically being abusive to their staff. They'll take your dozens of hostile messages and use it as an excuse to ignore you. You're not helping whatever issue you have by hounding them like this I promise.

  • maxine_deuchar Maxine (@maxine_deuchar) reported

    @giffgaff No I cannot even log onto my account because my security verification won’t work as it repeatedly tells me there is a problem and to try again later. This has been happening for about 5 days

  • JackpWild JackPWild (@JackpWild) reported

    @giffgaff Giffguff don’t quality check refurbished phones then refuse to do anything about it. DONT pay £500 plus for a broken phone!

  • bnjmnjhn (@bnjmnjhn) reported

    a joke that @ThreeUK can’t piggyback a 2G network for emergency situations or something. meanwhile, a @giffgaff sim i have in a spare phone still works quite well for emergencies. maybe i should switch networks full time. 🤔

  • BishSinha Bish! (@BishSinha) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport I'm on the 3 Home Broadband at N5 Islington and there's very flaky and weak 4G broadband and no 5G at all. Restarted router, took SIM out and inserted again, nothing. Can't stream and websites barely working. My GiffGaff phone is working perfectly, no data issues. This is bad.
