  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 @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.

  • 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

  • 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)

    @Mandoline_Blue On Giffgaff 12 pay as you go reoccurring Giffgaff bag. Pay for my own phone no more than 300. It is 02 network and cheaper than any deal I know.

  • BobPrydderch Bob Prydderch (@BobPrydderch) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff Giffgaff have just reimbursed me for lack of service, so, I was right! Wasn’t I? You are entitled to reimbursement for lack of service. Shhhhh….

  • Iron14Lion S (@Iron14Lion) reported

    If you want to go in a genuine time machine, use @giffgaff 4G. It's like Dial-up Internet from the late 90s. #crap #giffgaff

  • testedbylife Richard Fröhlich #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦 (@testedbylife) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @GTTO__ Try GiffGaff for sim- no contract, move tariff up or down each month. My 2 phones cost £10 and £6 pm. Avoid Vodafone like the plague.

  • benno44775 benno44775 (@benno44775) reported

    @BobPrydderch @giffgaff Unfortunately no company offers 100% service, even your own bank or broadband company. When it comes to telecommunications it can never be 100% guaranteed but mast issues, limiting network speeds at congested times, coverage in your town/city etc

  • BobPrydderch Bob Prydderch (@BobPrydderch) reported

    @giffgaff Nicole, your agent is just saying” you are entitled to nothing” I repeat, I have paid for a service, no service is not a service. I want to tell everyone what Giffgaff’s approach is to a customer who has paid for a service but is getting “ no service “ and that is NOTHING”

  • BobPrydderch Bob Prydderch (@BobPrydderch) reported

    @giffgaff So. I have paid for 30 days service. You can’t provide that service but you will not compensate me for no service? Is that correct?

  • NicolaB08261277 Nicola Brown (@NicolaB08261277) reported

    @giffgaff totally let down by giffgaff and red tape. Beginning of June you were prepared to help me….now you won’t even help with the account in my name. I understand there is data protection but short of a dna swab I’ve given you all the information you asked for ! 😡

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @DavidTh55952799 @giffgaff Only a giffgaff agent can deal with account issues so it'll be a matter of waiting for them to reply to you but £10 only buys 100MB of data at the PAYG rates so just apps running in the background can use that up in minutes at times.

  • JohnLee90252472 John Lee (@JohnLee90252472) reported

    @Beverle51995260 Was on T Mobile then Orange then EE Took them over awful firm went to giffgaff on a friends recommendation pay £10 a month for text...calls...and 15g all in!they have cheaper and dearer packages but you renew every 30 days so you don't like your under no obligation to renew. 👍
