    @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)

    @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 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.

    @littlepixie3 most masts only have backup power for a few hours, would possibly explain why the @giffgaff signal went for a short while?

  • ICECOLDAM9 AM9 🇩🇿 (@ICECOLDAM9) reported

    Need a new sim, giffgaff is the worst network ever 😣

  • CathyBramley Cathy Bramley (@CathyBramley) reported

    @giffgaff Please can you help? I cancelled my pay as you go SIM but have still been charged for the coming month after I cancelled

  • ShaunClarke04 shaunclarke.co.uk  🪱🐀 (@ShaunClarke04) reported

    @giffgaff 90% of every other service doesn’t require sign in though. And I’ve ignored it 2 dozen times, that should be enough to infer I don’t care about it?

  • faizaaniqbal112 kairo 🏁 (@faizaaniqbal112) reported

    Giffgaff service has gone so **** man

  • Tommytit22 Tom Cousins (@Tommytit22) reported

    Can't believe my luck, @giffgaff, who I have never used, have emailed to say they have $20,700 bitcoin waiting to deposit in to my bank. SIGN. ME. UP.

  • littlepixie3 littlePixie (@littlepixie3) reported

    Weird power cut that. Both EE and giffgaff mobile signals went off as well. Never happened before?

  • davies_jx JXD (@davies_jx) reported

    @giffgaff I seriously hate this two factor crap. It's a shed load of hassle to get my old folks to tell me what the code is whenever I have look to see if I need to top them up. You must make two factor optional. Or we go. Your choice. And no, they can't cope with smartphones.

  • SpeedbirdFan A Happy Speedbird Fan (@SpeedbirdFan) reported

    @giffgaff Hi there - have an issue with my father's giffgaff account and (bless him) he can't remember his sign in details... Any chance of some help?

  • amycapener amy (@amycapener) reported

    @giffgaff When I click to talk to an agent it tells me to click things then says to try topping up my account. I shouldn’t need to, you told me I didn’t now you’re telling me I’ve broken some guideline?
