    @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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SlothrockUK Slothrock Gaming (@SlothrockUK) reported

    @Jaime_Rivera @SomeOfMiles OnePlus 3 was the last one I bought. Then the price basically doubled for their “flagship killer”. I came back for the 8 I think and it was mediocre in every way. With the weak support updates and lack of giffgaff 5g support without going into dev menus that was my last oneplus.

  • Happy_kiddo Nidhi (@Happy_kiddo) reported

    @giffgaff Thank you for your reply. I’m still waiting for my sim to arrive in the mail, been quite a while. Plus i have my PAC from o2 ready. Really hoping your operations are back to normal next week as I’m a new customer.. now a nervous one. 👀

  • josephjscollen Joe Scollen (@josephjscollen) reported

    @giffgaff Not sure if you’ve seen my DM, but today has been awful for data service, it’s kinda working now, but I haven’t been able to browse the internet at all for about 14 hours. Just seen on the giffgaff app that I’m now on 3GB left of data??? I had 13GB today???

  • super_taxi SuperTaxi (@super_taxi) reported

    @giffgaff Visually, I can now see the 4g sign at the top of the screen. Hopefully normal service resumed....

  • DJMidarezaki DJMidarezaki, Esq.🇬🇧🇨🇦🇭🇰🇹🇼#NeverRishi (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @AnnColl02782394 My problem isn't with Giffgaff, it's with Esure.

  • unicornfacuk Helen @ The Unicorn Factory | Surface Design (@unicornfacuk) reported

    @giffgaff As a new customer I really don't appreciate being blamed for not looking for info I didn't know I needed When I booked porting there was no indication of issue. The email on the morning had no mention of possible delays. There was no reason for me to look for service updates!

  • unicornfacuk Helen @ The Unicorn Factory | Surface Design (@unicornfacuk) reported

    @giffgaff If it wasn't for my husband being a long-term @giffgaff customer I'd be leaving again pretty quickly. I know he's generally had good experiences so I'll stay and give @giffgaff the benefit of the doubt for now

    @haydencohen That's odd, Hayden. Please can you ask your wife to clear the cache, cookies and web history then try this again. Please also let her know to try using a different browser or device, as this should help - giffgaff Jade

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

    @unicornfacuk We are again sorry for the inconvenience caused, and we do sincerely hope that things are up and running again soon, and you're able to truly get started on our network - giffgaff Hannah (3/3)

  • unicornfacuk Helen @ The Unicorn Factory | Surface Design (@unicornfacuk) reported

    @giffgaff I wouldn't have an issue if the information about slow porting was up front - then I could've chosen to do it when it wouldn't have been such a big issue to be without my phone number & messaging for more than one day It's the lack of transparency that's upsetting
