    . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

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

    @JayPalmer17 Hi Jay. As the giffgaff SIM is working in another phone it seems that the issue is not with the SIM itself. We would recommend getting in touch with the manufacturer of the phone so that they can look into this for you - giffgaff Hannah

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

    @Zeeyg93 That's very strange, Zed. Please can you try using a different browser or device as this should help - giffgaff Jade

  • MariaAkhtar1234 Maria (@MariaAkhtar1234) reported

    @giffgaff hi I need help with getting a refund on two goodybags that have automatically been activated on my account. I need someone to contact me as this was an account for someone who is longer with us. Please get in touch with me.

  • JamesSwiftDay James Day (@JamesSwiftDay) reported

    @MattKamen Giffgaff is pretty great, their goody bags get pretty cheap if you’re not a heavy data user. Unlimited calls and texts. Only problem I ever had was when the O2 network went down that one time.

  • manansaddique Mannan Saddique (@manansaddique) reported

    @giffgaff Yes, ee sim works. It detects the sim but says network unavailable so i dont think there is a problem with the sim or the phone.

  • TonyVCarter 🅃🄾🄽🅈 🄲🄰🅁🅃🄴🅁 (@TonyVCarter) reported

    @giffgaff That's bad. Well behind the competition. O2 offer it and you use their network. Oh well will look elsewhere.

  • loadingadventur L O A D I NG A D V E N T U R E S (@loadingadventur) reported from Basingstoke, England

    @giffgaff i cant get a goodybag! Please help

  • jquinnink Jamie Quinn (@jquinnink) reported

    @JayPalmer17 @giffgaff Did you manage to find a fix?

  • bigwows The Marvellous Muttdini 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔰💜🤍💚 (@bigwows) reported

    @cosmiclandmine Avoid EE. Vodafone are so-so. GiffGaff are good with a flexible, no contract model (tho an O2 MVNO), provided you can get a decent signal - it’s woeful here.

  • Zeeyg93 Zed Gabby (@Zeeyg93) reported

    @giffgaff why is card payments not working?
