  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • Benjakev jason k (@Benjakev) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PoliceConsumer @giffgaff Been on giffgaff since they launched, cheapest and most reliable network I’ve ever used

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • BartBoski Bartek 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇵🇱 (@BartBoski) reported from Camberwell, England

    Hey @Ofcom we have been having issues with our mobile number that’s with @giffgaff no calls/texts from EE are coming through! (pretty basic part of service) Reported to @giffgaff beginning of August - still not resolved. (Suspect it’s been going on for much longer) can you help?

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • Loucathwil ☃️🎄🦌loucathwil🧵✂️🧸 (@Loucathwil) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • SuzieStewart Suzanna Stewart (@SuzieStewart) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @giffgaff hi, tried to renew password online but the link you send keeps saying it’s already been used when it hasn’t. Need to renew bundle asap but can’t help please

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

    @markkitchen5 If you want to cancel your account, please update your case and let our agents know, so they can do this for you - giffgaff Jade (2/2)

  • markkitchen5 mark kitchen (@markkitchen5) reported

    @giffgaff Its great just as long as you don't mind paying for a service you dont get

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @puncharama Yikes. Within your phone connection settings, you'll be able to change the network mode, to not include 5G service if you want this switched off. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • michaelocyoung Michael Young (@michaelocyoung) reported

    Hello @giffgaff A friend who is on a rival network (but one which also uses O2 infrastructure) has had EU roaming charges implemented. Can you confirm that you are going to continue not charging for EU+Norway roaming - at least until July?

  • AnxietyYT AnxietyYT (@AnxietyYT) reported

    @HutchieV Ah dang, I’ve been with giffgaff before and it was terrible, it could have just been the area I was in though tbh

  • markkitchen5 mark kitchen (@markkitchen5) reported

    @giffgaff Which is great if your service worked but for me it hasnt and this setup of customer services is not ideal as it takes forever to get a reply. When in reality a 10 min phonecall would probably sort it in one go!

  • Handle_Barred_ ~Red/acted~ (@Handle_Barred_) reported

    I'm singling out @giffgaff because they made it incredibly difficult to contact them, without being a customer

  • Ergun_Kazali Ergun Kazali (@Ergun_Kazali) reported

    @boyci3 @giffgaff Funny, I’m in London & I had the opposite. I was with Smarty for a short while, had terrible signal 50% of the time practically everywhere. Since switching back to Giffgaff I’ve had no such problems. 👍

  • markkitchen5 mark kitchen (@markkitchen5) reported

    @giffgaff Is it out of the realms of possibility to have someone call me just to put this issue to bed i mean it has been 4 months or is that not quite long enough

  • stephaniedk96 Stephanie Kelley (@stephaniedk96) reported

    @scriblerian I always did this in reverse—PAYG in the UK (bc giffgaff was cheap, like £8/mo) & paused my US Verizon plan for months at a time, so I could keep the number/have service when here. Maybe there are cheaper US PAYG plans now though?
