  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

    @giffgaff lost my 4g and can’t send or receive calls Sent you message with no reply Can anyone at Giff Gaff help....

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Still no joy with my phone, my days are numbered now with @giffgaff after many years loyal support #no4g

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown 🐝💛🖤💛🖤💛🐝 (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @giffgaff Is there an problem with the network with sending and receiving texts messages. Both my wife and I are getting undelivered, each time when we sending texts over the last week. Little annoying to say the least.

  • TyneTom Tom Bailey (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

  • MXOFO Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

    @ThatsDoubleA If 5G access is part of your plan and you’re not getting it Id contact giffgaff as you’ll be paying for it within your monthly fee...it could be they only have access to certain areas of 5G within o2s network

  • JaayOnPC ジ Jc - ********* (@JaayOnPC) reported

    @Vunci @pcgamer Some don't get good connection, i never got internet with my old service provider on my mobile (giffgaff) i do now because i switched to EE but it costs more

  • Cueball666uk Tony Middleton (@Cueball666uk) reported

    Hey @giffgaff I am currently encountering issues also LE12 area. No Network, No Data connection, Dropping Signal. Just straight up unstable

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

    @scotdiscovered Hi Lyndsay. Our engineers have found an issue with a mast, and we’re organising specialist equipment to come and do the repair. Until we're finished, you might have some trouble with your calls, texts and data, sorry. We will update you by Friday 18th March - giffgaff Nicole

  • neslurt Neslurt (@neslurt) reported

    @giffgaff Would I get more / better help doing that?

  • shoshanade 🌈😷🗽💙Shoshana#WokeAF🥳#JohnsonMustGoNOW (@shoshanade) reported

    @burningoil1972 @GeorReader @Rosychipshop Maybe check-out GiffGaff?...no shops, no admin, thus low costs. You order a sim card, top it up when needed, no contract necessary...think I even read they're using the EE network now?

  • Marrr1ah (:/ (@Marrr1ah) reported

    @giffgaff hi, my dad’s data is not working, is there a network issue?

  • IanCaine3 Ian Caine (@IanCaine3) reported

    @benmrowe I was waiting for the punchline after doing all those credit checks. Never understood why doing more checks harms your rating. Anyway, switch to GiffGaff.

  • GEMB148 G🌹🏳️‍🌈 (@GEMB148) reported

    Oh great been with @O2 on a contract less than a year and they’re rising my bill over 10% in April. 🙄 Was with the sister company @giffgaff for over 10 years and never had a rise. Proves this rise is just shameless money grabbing from O2.

  • ItsSpecialHands SpecialHands (@ItsSpecialHands) reported

    @ShAmEYoUFaiLeD Switch to Giffgaff if you can mate, it's just a better O2, I've never looked back
