    @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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • elusivemoment Maya Stone (@elusivemoment) reported

    @giffgaff hi I have had massive issues for the last fortnight in KT9 and been unable to connect without wifi. What's the deal?

  • irish_tynes Sarah Smith (@irish_tynes) reported

    @giffgaff terrible signal these last few days in wallsend NE28 - is this because of the telephone pole fire?

  • Roberta9996 Roberta Sutton (@Roberta9996) reported

    @giffgaff No the most was car insurance and I've sorted that giff gaff was 10, 10, and 6 on different dates in May - maybe that is when I bought goodybags but have never used them because although supposedly activated the phone stayed dead.

  • Leonlinsx Leon Lin (@Leonlinsx) reported

    friend recommended @giffgaff sim for my europe trip and it worked great, no service issues and had enough data at a reasonable price

  • ctubboasd manu (doodling dsmp ideas) (@ctubboasd) reported

    @cpurpIed wtf is giffgaff

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

    @StarfallGodiva Oh no, that's not good. Can you please drop us a DM with your full post code, so we can check for any issues? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • NicholasPretzel Nicholas Pretzel (@NicholasPretzel) reported

    @mattgreencomedy Afraid not. I'm on giffgaff, but I would recommend them. Their PAYG is quite pricey, but the goodybags are very cheap. The cheapest £6/month. That gives unlimited calls, texts & 1GB data. Excellent service & coverage (they run on the O2 network). £35 gives you unlimited data.

  • HarryReynoldson Harry Reynoldson (@HarryReynoldson) reported

    @giffgaff Still no service after 5 days, “mast issues” in my area, new sim which had service until I activated it, automated reply’s in DM’s, we’re just going round in circles here aren’t we?

  • jon87152705 Jon Jon (@jon87152705) reported

    @giffgaff DPD Has just collected the apple phone He did not give me my Samsung S10+ Phone as he did not have it. If my S10+ does not arrive today I wish to decline your offer of £50 compensation and demand £100 in compensation for this awful experience.

  • Tanni39276484 Tanni (@Tanni39276484) reported

    @giffgaff got my first SIM card. Eventually managed to log on with a usernane sent by giffhaff. Add card, try to pay for goody bag. Every time I approve the payment in my bank app the giff gaff app closes and takes me back to the activation code. #fail
