  • 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?

  • 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 😐

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

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

  • 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!

    @giffgaff Hi, my bf has lost his sim card card and is trying to retrieve the number but he needs the PUK number. Is there a way to help us with this?? Thank you

  • KevanRamsdale kevan ramsdale (@KevanRamsdale) reported

    @giffgaff Today my monthly usage is 69,253gb of a 100gb yet your network messages i have run out of data! As a registrered disable person under S6 EA 2010 i require to discuss this on the phone! Failure to do this will result in legal action #disabledhatecrime

  • KevanRamsdale kevan ramsdale (@KevanRamsdale) reported

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff S29 provisions of service p1-7 it's telephone communications company you don't need a call centre to make a call to a vunerable disabled customer who uses phone to communicate with the world! Maybe educate yourself on the law it's there to protect us all ignorance no defense!

  • bubblekittea Leo🌸✧༓⁺˚ goblin (@bubblekittea) reported

    @giffgaff That's kind of disappointing, I've been with giffgaff since 2009 and have several referrals, it seems whenever issue comes up there isn't much customer care, I know you have policies against refunding goodybags but that's probably how you manage to keep the price down to start.

  • dalehay Dale 🇷🇺 (@dalehay) reported

    Just purchased a @GiffGaff Goodybag as mine ran out t'other day. The second I pressed 'confirm payment' my mobile data connection came back online, like within 5 seconds. Never experienced it being that quick before, usually have to wait a few minutes. Thumbs up. 👍 #GiffGaff

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

    @wendylynnzhang Oh dear Zilin. We're not sure why this is occurring, but if you send us a DM with your full postcode, we can see if there is a network issue in your area. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • james_reynolds2 James 🇺🇦 (@james_reynolds2) reported

    The phone signal in Ipswich is absolutely shocking half the time @giffgaff @o2

  • Kookabura_Jones Mo Frills (@Kookabura_Jones) reported

    @aliciabernaldo @ChillaxBcn @guardian My provider Giffgaff is going to continue providing 5gb while away, 90pc of users don't exceed that. Tell me what the problem is 🧐🤔

  • martinlmnt Martin (@martinlmnt) reported

    Anyone with experience with GiffGaff? I’m currently on 3 but it feels like my signal is getting worse no matter where I go…

  • wendylynnzhang ZiLin Zhang (@wendylynnzhang) reported

    @giffgaff Why is my network so bad, I have 4G but can't access the Internet, it makes me angry, I can't understand, why use data in this case
