  • 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

  • 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.

    @hapsci Thats weird, because giffgaff use the O2 network (as do Tesco Mobile and others) and I've usually found the O2 service to be fine.... not an expert on iPhones, though!

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

    @WarlockGlyndalf No worries Glyn, we recommend rebooting your phone several times within this time frame also to help with this and if the problem persists, you can get back in contact with us then - giffgaff Nicole

  • WarlockGlyndalf Glyn Roberts (@WarlockGlyndalf) reported

    @giffgaff How long after switching will I start getting useable mobile Internet speeds? Switched yesterday but only getting 0.2 mbps up and around the same down. Checked the usual solutions but no luck.

  • janetuk19 janet leigh (@janetuk19) reported

    @O2 hi, I need to unlock an O2 device but I can't create an O2 account to get onto live chat as I'm a Giffgaff customer so my number isn't recognising. Can someone help unlock a phone if I give you the IMEI number?

  • chyvalrous chyvalrous (@chyvalrous) reported

    @giffgaff service (both calls and mobile data) are down in RG6

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

    @championbankole If you could access your emails via another device Michael if you have lost your phone, then this would help you get the verification codes - giffgaff Nicole

  • sam34029538 BillPiff (@sam34029538) reported

    @giffgaff 2/2 all they did was deleted the next goodybag i had sent up i spent 60 quid. and you have the audacity to delete the things i paid for. im stranded in another country and have no data. ive had to walk 3km to the nearest town to talk to you. what is this ****

  • hapsci Heather Doran, PhD (@hapsci) reported

    @giffgaff I’m having real issues with getting data (particularly in towns and cities). My phone says there’s a 4G connection but then says the network can’t be activated. It’s sporadic and happens in Dundee city centre particularly. Is it a data issue or conflict with wifi

  • alexbloor 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 (@alexbloor) reported

    Next issue with changing phones... I'd probably pick up a pixel 6 pro... And it's dual sim! Oh but wait, one has to be eSIM. Well I'm sure one of my 2 networks offers eSIM. GiffGaff... No. Three...... No. Genius.

    @giffgaff I need to talk to an agent, pls can someone help?
