    @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 @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.

  • 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....

  • 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 No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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 Hi just a quick question though about this issue - normally texts I receive from @giffgaff say they are from GiffGaff, but this one didn’t - it had a random 5-digit number. Why would that be the case on this occasion? You can understand why I didn’t just follow the link provided?

  • AngryRatford AngryRatford 🇬🇧® (@AngryRatford) reported

    @1BJDJ @EE I've been with GiffGaff over 7 years. I pay £6 per month for unlimited calls & txts, OK the data allowance is pony at 500mb but I only ever use it when I'm out to check TfL's live timetable. I have broadband at home so it'd be stupid to pay for a high data package.

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @smlomax Okay, you'll need to contact Giffgaff directly for help with this 👍

  • RavenscroftLynn Lynn #Lucifer #SPN 🇬🇧 (@RavenscroftLynn) reported

    @giffgaff ordered a sim for my dad, had emails about dispatch and activation but SIM not arrived. Can you help?

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff Yes endless messages dragging feet not to understand. It is NOT a rocket science: I cancelled your service by following your procedures. You already apologised last month, promised no withdrawals but till continuing to withdraw the cancelled subscription!!!

  • 30_firegirl firegirl_30 (@30_firegirl) reported

    @giffgaff had no signal coverage for over 10 hours now???

  • SJTurner93 SJ (@SJTurner93) reported

    @giffgaff my friend had her phone stolen last night, and is trying to order a new SIM card but the “reset your password” email isn’t coming through. Any chance you can help? 🙏🏼

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

    @disclotheya Hello there, We're sorry to hear that. A nearby phone mast in your area is currently not working and this will be what is causing your usage problems. - giffgaff Ann 1/2

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff DO NOT use this strange company with no customer services that you can talk to. We purchased their SIM card for a brief period then cancel it by following their website. Despite email assurances 2 months on they are still charging us via DD. DISGRACE!

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff Incident Ref: 210702-000149 on 3 July confirming no charges despite the withdrawals. There are others this week, your staff pretending not understanding the problem: 210802-001916 Then a few more for not working logins - not interested! All I need STOP charging!
