    Still no joy with my phone, my days are numbered now with @giffgaff after many years loyal support #no4g

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • TyneTom Tom Bailey (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

  • GosforthHotel The Gosforth Hotel (@GosforthHotel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown 🐝💛🖤💛🖤💛🐝 (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @giffgaff Is there an problem with the network with sending and receiving texts messages. Both my wife and I are getting undelivered, each time when we sending texts over the last week. Little annoying to say the least.

    @giffgaff Thank you, I activated the SIM as a new account rather than through my existing one. Please can you help me?

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @IanTheInventor @giffgaff Don't let @giffgaff hear that! Next they'll ask me to move house. After all the obviously wrong "troubleshooting" steps I had from them, I wouldn't be surprised! Non-techies should NEVER be allowed to give tech advice

    @ThreeUKSupport Still experiencing issues with no Internet on 4G and very intermittent and slow connection on 3G when trying to use in the FY7 8JT area. Having to use my @giffgaff phone to tweet this.

  • MarkH_Photo Mark H 💙💚❤️🏥 (@MarkH_Photo) reported

    @john_thrower @giffgaff am happy with my current provider - have a limited number of options due to coverage issues in my area though. The problem I have is with the phone itself now.
