  • mikeyoungUK Cllr Mike Young (@mikeyoungUK) reported from Elwick, England

    @giffgaff I got a payg sim for my spare phone yesterday and spent 30 quid on credit so I can use it as a data tethering device for my laptop at home. Live in a rural area so no fibre broadband option. Sadly, there is zero 4G signal. I thought all networks had this sorted?!

  • nathanlawsn Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

  • e_gran Lynda D💙 (@e_gran) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @RachelOrr I think you can just get a phone…it doesn’t have to have a giffgaff SIM (but check on that). However, GG is so cheap and easy and you can change plans or cancel with no contract. We have both been with them for years and years.

    Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  • SixCylinderDean Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

    Q on what businesses can do to promote digital upskilling and increase access to tech @Siobhain_Mc says the government has engaged with the likes of BT and Vodafone but many people are using smaller network providers like @LycamobileUK and @giffgaff

  • Adge081 Adge Braddock (@Adge081) reported

    @giffgaff I've had no mobile reception for two days - is there an issue?

  • schoelle Bernd Schoeller (@schoelle) reported

    @giffgaff I have an issue receiving text messages this morning. Any known issues on you network?

  • TobyHopwood Toby Hopwood (@TobyHopwood) reported

    And @giffgaff it's a refurbished phone I'm paying you for in monthly installments. Been a customer a long time but this takes the biscuit.

  • _Izzers Izzy (@_Izzers) reported

    @giffgaff I have managed to do a return now by changing the issue with the phone. There is a piece of paper which I need to print but I do not have access to a printer. Is there a way to process the return without printing off that piece?

  • TobyHopwood Toby Hopwood (@TobyHopwood) reported

    Wow, thanks @giffgaff - you emailed saying my phone repair is out of warranty - no details given - & quoted £246 to repair it. Adding insult to injury, saying I'll be charged £15 to send it back unrepaired. Phone cost me £199 and I've only had it a couple of months! So bad.😡

  • _Izzers Izzy (@_Izzers) reported

    @giffgaff I am being driven INSANE by your online diagnostic service. The microphone on my newly purchased phone does not work properly and I would like to return it for a replacement but cannot manage to do this online.

  • SephBentos Theoretically Seph Bentõs 🎸🎶 (@SephBentos) reported

    @giffgaff It’s not a text it’s a call, the app shows a code that you have to verify over a call but the call can’t get through. When I was on the phone to them they said giffgaff have blocked them before. Apparently I have to ask you guys to do a “signal diagnostic” or something?

  • _Izzers Izzy (@_Izzers) reported

    @giffgaff Those are the steps I am following and at the end of the diagnostic it says "your issue has been resolved" and will not let me process the return

  • SephBentos Theoretically Seph Bentõs 🎸🎶 (@SephBentos) reported

    @LloydsBank Ok, I tried to circumvent the issue by logging on via a desktop computer and adding my parent’s landline as an alternative number but this time it said it would text me rather than call me. The text never came through. Giffgaff can’t block texts, so it’s definitely a Lloyds fault
