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

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

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

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

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

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

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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)

  • 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 🤬😤

  • Felim_Doyle Félim Doyle #M3HIM 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@Felim_Doyle) reported

    @giffgaff Is it possible to get hold of a SIM without a plan so that I can check coverage at my location? Despite being in a built-up area on the outskirts of a large town (Aylesbury) coverage on most networks is poor or non-existent regardless of what the coverage maps may say.

  • TheSikThSenSE ELF丨TKC丨TheSikThSenSE (@TheSikThSenSE) reported

    @giffgaff Yeh, no problem!

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @Felim_Doyle @giffgaff An unactivated giffgaff sim will show signal bars if you put it in your phone so you can see how good the coverage is before paying to activate it. You won't know how good the data speeds will be there but you will know the signal strength.

  • Arleta1 Barrie Llewelyn (@Arleta1) reported

    @giffgaff I’m sorry, I’ve been all over your website and can’t resolve the issue without help.

  • iosifica11 Iosif Popa (@iosifica11) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks! But everywhere I go is the same... very low signal... I understand that Facebook, Insta... Whatsapp 6 hours where dead that day but why mobile networks? Do you want to put more 5G antenna? Be honest! Thanks! Appreciate that!

  • Arleta1 Barrie Llewelyn (@Arleta1) reported

    Wow @giffgaff Massive customer service fail. And I used to tell people how brilliant you are. Is it greed or laziness? Actually don’t answer that. I don’t care. Thanks @Barclays customer service for sorting. Dominic was calming!!! Moving on…

  • MrAdeCarter Ade (@MrAdeCarter) reported

    @giffgaff Same issues here, Mobile data has been barely functional for a week

  • iosifica11 Iosif Popa (@iosifica11) reported

    @giffgaff Hi! Why giffgaff doesn't have good signal anymore? Thanks?!

  • Felim_Doyle Félim Doyle #M3HIM 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧 (@Felim_Doyle) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thanks, that's what I thought, it's just getting hold of such a SIM is my issue.

  • icallitjustice 👁‍🗨 (@icallitjustice) reported

    @giffgaff I have tried everything you had told me to. You told me “there doesn’t seem to be an issue” and to “turn the device off and on again”. That implies it is an issue with the device and not giffgaff. It is CLEARLY an issue withe giffgaff as I’m not the only one having trouble.
