  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

    @hellojamie_t giffgaff. month by month so no contract and can go up or down as you need each month re data allowance. It means owning your phone outright though but cheaper in the long run.

  • enter_name_hr Bobby Punk☠️ (@enter_name_hr) reported

    Help please When I send a text it sometimes days the recipient is offline. But I can call them fine no problems. I would've thought to be offline, that you would have no signal or phone is turned off. Why is this? I'm on Giffgaff and have Android.

  • nabzee9 LiveLaughLasagne ♌️ (@nabzee9) reported

    Nah I’m leaving giffgaff cause I never have signal anywhere 😒

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

    @BobPrydderch A manual roam can sometimes help you to connect to another mast. As previously advised there will be an update on the mast repair by Friday 1st July 2022. We can only advise that you keep an eye on the coverage checker provided above for updates on this. - giffgaff Ann

    Giffgaff is leaving me with no signal… my fiancé is on EE and has signal all the time 😭

  • tredtoponty John Lewis (@tredtoponty) reported

    @giffgaff Really?! After I went through 15 screens I got to some nonsense about IMIE code or similar. I just want to add data not trying to cyber your systems. Can't even talk to someone on the phone. The DM response is just leave us alone. Awful customer service

  • rollingsheep Michelle (@rollingsheep) reported

    @GlastoFestFeed Terrible for giffgaff, nothing for 6 days! :(

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

    @BobPrydderch Oh no, please send us a DM with your full post code, so we can check for any issues. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    I didn’t want to change mobile provider. But I was told this was the only way I could keep my service bill at a level I could afford. I was very happy with the PAYG service I had from @giffgaff, and did not want to change, but it was that or a surcharge.

  • tredtoponty John Lewis (@tredtoponty) reported

    @giffgaff hopeless. Absolutely hopeless. No customer service at all. Dreadful
