  • Agathi0usssss Agathe (@Agathi0usssss) reported from Hackney, England

    Am I the only one having Data issue with @giffgaff ! Every time it says my 3G is on but it doesn’t work at all 😡😡

  • MVautrin Angela M Sturniolo (@MVautrin) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @Claytoncast @ThreeUKSupport @giffgaff I was in Bologna Italy for most of the month of May and didn't have any problems. Maybe it depends where you are. Anyway good luck.

  • arigork Ari Gork (@arigork) reported from Camden Town, England

    Family visiting needed a local sim. Got @giffgaff prepaid & activation was simple & fast. Catch is you need to get a voucher or credit/debit card to load selected bundle as store could not help and needed browser access to activate sim and load bundle. Otherwise 5 stars :)

  • Ryanclairmont 🅡🅨🅐🅝 (@Ryanclairmont) reported from Ilford, England

    Really not good enough, since Thursday got a goodybag sim for my daughter & it's still not working till now,you should haul all sales of sims till the issues are fix. #ofcom #cisas #ombudsmanservice #giffgaff

  • SuzieStewart Suzanna Stewart (@SuzieStewart) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @giffgaff hi, tried to renew password online but the link you send keeps saying it’s already been used when it hasn’t. Need to renew bundle asap but can’t help please

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @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 🤬😤

  • JelllyBeaan Gezza (@JelllyBeaan) reported from Romford, England

    @giffgaff hi team is it possible to have some help in regards to my account?

  • SophieGudge_ Sophie 💕 (@SophieGudge_) reported from Stratford, England

    @l0ulaa I had this issue in Lincoln with Three... had to change to giffgaff as it was so bad!

  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • staylowkae baby wasteman. (@staylowkae) reported from London, England

    giffgaff finally back to more data less money but ofc its slow now 😐

  • 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.

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

    No signal, phone or data here @giffgaff

  • kiers__ Unotheactivist (@kiers__) reported from Islington, England

    @RafaFerdinand1 @MrSir____ @Sahveeyo @_euanito Sir you connected to GiffGaff so doh try that shit

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • MarvinMoore42 Marvin Moore (@MarvinMoore42) reported

    1/2 @giffgaff Hey, i've bought a phone from you and have tried to find a way to contact you, without success. You said i could cancel my goodybag via the dashboard, but i go round in circles....

  • MarvinMoore42 Marvin Moore (@MarvinMoore42) reported

    @giffgaff A paid giffgaff staff member is in touch with me via email and so i'll hopefully resolve the issue with them 🧵

  • MarvinMoore42 Marvin Moore (@MarvinMoore42) reported

    @giffgaff "A giffgaff agent" suggests a person and badly designed Q&A pathways are not a person. Community members are people, however i presume they are volunteers and their responses to others asking the same question as myself didn't help either 🧵

  • MarvinMoore42 Marvin Moore (@MarvinMoore42) reported

    @z52782 @giffgaff I think it's a very bad business model to use your own customer base to act as voluntary customer service agents having worked in customer service for many years myself. It's bad enough when people are paid.

  • sp_jimbob JSP (@sp_jimbob) reported

    @GazRich88 if you can afford to buy the phones outright, there’s no point being with a traditional carrier anymore - and it works out cheaper across the life of a traditional contract even with that upfront cost. Recommend GiffGaff (o2) or SMARTY (Three) dependant on local signal.

  • Happy_Cats2017 Happy Cats 😻😷💙🌍 🇺🇦 Titch 🌈 (@Happy_Cats2017) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH I'm on @giffgaff - £6 p.m for unlimited and 2Gb of data and I never run out. Runs on the O2 network so coverage is fine.

  • AoSauntonsands RozzieB (@AoSauntonsands) reported

    @BorisJohnson @giffgaff please support this for your #Uxbridge staff who live in outer London

  • _TheGbolahan_ one spanner loss (@_TheGbolahan_) reported

    Giffgaff be like the Glo of UK. Very unfortunate network.

  • LukeGroves16 Luke Groves (@LukeGroves16) reported

    @9Matthew7 I've been paying £8/month to Giffgaff for years without any issues

  • Freemasonsnakes John (@Freemasonsnakes) reported

    @giffgaff All sorted thanks to Cliona👍 Giff gaff customer service is great but a bit hard to contact if you lost phone. Logging in I mean.
