    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • djrowsam DJ Rowland Samuel (@djrowsam) reported from Paddington, England

    @MissyMissyJ I had a similar problem....but it was with Giffgaff (who use the O2 network as well)

  • K9Protection K9 Protection Ltd - Your ACS supplier. (@K9Protection) reported

    @JayneCowan @matthewevansnpt Personal SIM is GiffGaff, work one is EE. I have less signal issues in almost every location on the supposedly crappy cheap network than I do on the premium network. Lost track of the number of times I have to call back on the other line.

  • stoneycatt Stoneycat 💙 (@stoneycatt) reported

    @BroughtToBook We had Vodafone and thought they were crap. Gone to giffgaff. So far so good.

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

    @RhonaBT Hello, We have had a look at our coverage checker and the masts in your area are as they should be and it shows no issues with your coverage. Try switching off your device and then switching it back on again. - giffgaff Ann 1/2

  • juasunshine Emzy (@juasunshine) reported

    @giffgaff Can we change the name of black Friday to bargain Friday or something, the history is so horrible

  • SprinklesOfNuts Dani (@SprinklesOfNuts) reported

    I’d never been able to use another network’s SIM in it, until Dad said today that I could. So I’ve put my GiffGaff one in it and the signal is shite (to say the least).
