  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cyclenut23 Jazz 🎺🚲🛶🏍🐶🐾 (@Cyclenut23) reported

    @giffgaff your customer service is dreadful. I'm still waiting on a sim card, because you guys can't be arsed to check addresses and send it to the wrong one. So much for data protection.

  • 1937_jane Lady Jane (@1937_jane) reported

    Still having problems with @giffgaff sim, I bought unlocked phone and still not right.. going to give it more time - feel like giving up

    @went57 Hi. It can take up to 24 hours for a number transfer to be fully completed. During this time please reboot your phone off and on again a few times, as this should help - giffgaff Jade
