  • 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

  • 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 :)

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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 🤬😤

  • 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 😡😡

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • mziehlke Maciej Ziehlke (@mziehlke) reported

    Hey UK friends. What mobile network are you with? I'm with BT and coverage in Twickenham is bad (2 bars indoor outdoor). Teddington was even worse - 1 bar or no service. I'm looking for a provider who offers WiFi calling: @SMARTYMobileUK or @giffgaff (no WiFi calls so unlikely)

  • jwbritus jwbritus (@jwbritus) reported

    @giffgaff I'm an international tech worker and there's nothing more infuriating than these guys trying to cancel my UK phone number because I haven't used it recently.

  • ChrisJo24895371 Chris Jones (@ChrisJo24895371) reported

    @JohnHurst @giffgaff The response I got from their help was to check hardware, reset phone, remove and put sim back in etc. None of which has worked, these pings worked last week, not working now. So I've started a move to another provider. Only been with giffgaff 3 months.

  • Terrycampbell7 T C (@Terrycampbell7) reported

    @giffgaff @cvillis Hi I am trying to purchase a goody bag but the system keeps saying that giffgaff is not taking any payments at the moment please try later, this has been happening since yesterday help

  • _feeohna lasagne del rey (@_feeohna) reported

    @giffgaff is there an issue with mobile data service in Manchester at the moment? Had really patchy service since Sunday and it’s been out pretty much all day today

  • Ebsfae Ebony Fae 💙💛 (@Ebsfae) reported

    @giffgaff can someone help with an issue I'm having? It's impossible to talk to a real person anywhere.

  • rugbyjoe90 rugbyjoe90 (@rugbyjoe90) reported from Wellington, England

    @giffgaff I bought refurbished iPhone Max XS off you with status "like NEW". We sent ph back for 3rd time battery does not charge + microphone has never ever worked properly. Today received an email from you asking for £559 to repair ph when it is STILL IN WARRANTY !! #GIFFGAFF

  • Pete861993631 Pete (@Pete861993631) reported

    @sumlin @O2 O2 are up there as one of the worst customer experiences of all time, switched to giffgaff 10 years ago for 30gig at that price and a friendly text letting me know if I’m using enough to justify that monthly package

  • daniel_hoo_04 Daniel Hooley (@daniel_hoo_04) reported

    @giffgaff hi my dad is in tenerife, his calls are working but his data isn't working, any help to fix this?

  • ChrisJo24895371 Chris Jones (@ChrisJo24895371) reported

    @giffgaff the best thing about giffgaff is it is easy to leave. Been a customer for 3 months, moving back to another provider for cheaper and I suspect better service. I'm not getting all SMS through which looking at twitter I'm not the only one. Your help has been hopeless.
