    Seems to be a really poor signal with O2/Giffgaff in the north Nottinghamshire lately. Only seems to be recent though. Any reasons @O2?

  • maddycoconut Maddy (@maddycoconut) reported

    @O2 @VodafoneUK @giffgaff I’ve been without any connection due to a local tower for about 14 hours now. Your websites say no updates until 4/4. Is there a plan to fix the tower? Realistically when should I expect an update? How can I keep track of updates without any signal?

    Yo @lebara, I v ordered a sim card, paid for it, to switch to your service. Guess what. Haven't received it. That order was made on 19/03. Is that a sign? Should I ask for my money back and stay with @giffgaff ?
