    @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 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.

    @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.

    @giffgaff My wife's phone has never had a signal when away from home for 2 years GG said change sim have done no change. I have to phone here to get it working. How to I switch provider ?

  • katrotsky ben diver (@katrotsky) reported

    Giffgaff actually is a great service provider but I’m not that much of a fan of them sending me bills of exactly how much money I spent when I call my overseas fam, pay per minute is so not the vibe for catching up with oma

  • AmbyNavy Amber (@AmbyNavy) reported

    @pheebiess Most UK networks are lucky in that they either share masts or, in the case of giffgaff, they run on the infrastructure built by o2. It bewilders me how poor the standard infrastructure is across NA and how it varies every dozen miles so massively.

  • ptitstef1 Stephane (@ptitstef1) reported

    @giffgaff No I just wanted to check first if there were some network issues or changes for international calls. Thx for your answer

  • louisandre Louis André (@louisandre) reported

    Hey @giffgaff, we’ve topped up our account by £20 for data roaming and have never been credited. Tried to reach you twice about it and messages don’t go though. Could you pls help cause money’s been debited from our bank account 🫤?

  • chthonicionic ཀ།༨ཇ ་།་འ།སབཇའ (@chthonicionic) reported

    @giffgaff how do I feed back a problem with an email sent from you (there’s a mistake in the email so something is up with your systems)? Can’t find any way to do it on your website

  • justwearmasks Lefty on the shelf..... 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 😷🐶 (@justwearmasks) reported

    Recommended @giffgaff to my aunt when she was looking to change her phone as she's a light user and their price plans are good. I'd never researched the trade in values they pay for old handsets and now I feel like I helped them rob her. They're about half of everywhere else. 🙄
