  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • GosforthHotel The Gosforth Hotel (@GosforthHotel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  • 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)

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

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

  • 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.

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @giffgaff #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract Just sayin.

  • 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.

    Day 2.5 and still no 4G on EE or GiffGaff, with the latter having far less signal than the former.

  • theandymac65 Andy MacKenzie 💙 (@theandymac65) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. Have lost phone signal. Tried turning off and on again, switching roaming on and off etc. but no joy. Need codes sending to my phone to access work apps. So can you help please?!

  • Weaves14 🇬🇧Mike Weavers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Weaves14) reported

    @GethinJones123 I moved to giffgaff a couple of years ago. Uses O2 network. I pay £8/month for unlimited calls and texts and 2Gb of data. Options range from £5 for 500Mb to £35 for unlimited data. Never had any problems, and you can change your plan each month or cancel anytime.

  • AmoAmmo amo (@AmoAmmo) reported

    I think it's weird that giffgaff don't give you any sort of bonus if you're a long term customer and you buy a handset from them. I want a phone with more storage but I'm not made of money.

  • lyricistbeats Lyricist Sam Beats (@lyricistbeats) reported

    @giffgaff pls explain why my service has been differing from 1-2 bars for the last 2 weeks and my 4g data is really slow

    @sarah93hendry Hi Sarah. We're really sorry to hear about this. We don't have a call centre as we're web based, so we're not sure who you've called. Can you please send us a DM so that we can help you further? - giffgaff Tasbiya
