    @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 @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • davidwinch David Winch (@davidwinch) reported

    @EE Just switched to giffgaff (service from O2 - mast behind Fire Station!) Took number with me. Half EE price and a strong signal whole time. Now I can make calls whenever I like, texts are sent as soon as I hit send, and phone pings as soon as WhatsApps and texts are sent to me.

  • ipswoody Mark Woodcock (@ipswoody) reported

    @giffgaff can you help with why incoming phone calls aren’t being diverted to my answerphone service?

  • vikkz85 vikki (@vikkz85) reported

    @giffgaff can someone please help in trying to activate my replacement SIM but I can't get into my account to do this

    @StevieLogan647 That's odd, Shelby. Please can you clear your cache, cookies and web history then try this again. Please also try logging in via the app and web browser, as this should help - giffgaff Jade

  • ChloeYasiZhou Chloe Yasi Zhou (@ChloeYasiZhou) reported

    I hate to say that but the @giffgaff customer service is the worst ever. My phone got snatched and I tried to get my number back on 4th August. Can’t assess my online bank and other accounts cos they all need to send a code to the number! Can the team just do something?

  • Anastasia_T22 Anastasia Tempest (@Anastasia_T22) reported

    @giffgaff “If you contact us through the account, I don’t know what this means.” I had a look, I don’t recognise that. At the time I was a new customer. I would like a refund of my £20. Anastasia

    @ChloeYasiZhou Hi Chloe. We're so sorry to hear this. Can you please drop us a DM, so we can help you further? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • setfreethesea AJ (@setfreethesea) reported

    @giffgaff everyone keeps saying the line is bad when I try and speak to them recently - please help

  • jkhan762 jk94 (@jkhan762) reported

    @Mykiel_B @giffgaff I did this yesterday night and it seemed to work, I had the same problem today morning and I tried it again and now giffgaff mobile network doesn't even show up?

  • sudden_stars Captain Easychord (@sudden_stars) reported

    @sputniksteve @BBCRadio2 @giffgaff Just my opinion. Giffgaff works in a different way to other networks so you get great value packages on a flexible, rolling monthly basis with no contract. It's only a problem on the very rare occasion you want to text a paid service, but as I said you can add credit.
