  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Al_typeR Alan Waters (@Al_typeR) reported

    @giffgaff very disappointed and now leaving your network due to the appallingly slow data speeds. Excuse after excuse and a complete failure to accept it is O2 throttling the speed of your network was the final straw. I’m sure you will lose a lot of customers over it.

  • Tesshan8211 Tesshan (@Tesshan8211) reported

    @glhfb @virginmedia Same here. It's been like this since late afternoon yesterday. I work from home, so this did not help. O2 and Giffgaff seem to have the same issue.

  • grampius Grampius Grump (@grampius) reported

    @giffgaff any info in why total loss of service in Washington Tyne and wear can make emergency calls only but no signal at all.

  • notbrokenow John (@notbrokenow) reported

    @giffgaff this is crazy. if i had a smaller cell plan, of 5 GB per month, this wouldn't be an issue. but since i pay you more, i get screwed by these EU changes. getting a new SIM instead

  • jamesmckay1996 James Mckay (@jamesmckay1996) reported

    @giffgaff why do I barely have signal and no 4g? Can’t even go on the site/app because it asks for verification and then never sends me the code!

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

    @jamesmckay1996 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

  • CTwatt C. T.Watt (@CTwatt) reported

    @giffgaff Hello! Are you a bit slow getting new sim cards out? I ordered one for a relative of mine to get her on to giffgaff, that was on Monday. Got an email to say it’s been sent out first class, but still no sign of it yet.

  • DatUncleOfYours 🇬🇭 (@DatUncleOfYours) reported

    Wouldn't wish Giffgaff 4G on my worst enemy.
