  • 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)

    @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.

  • paulgardner303 Paul Gardner🌻🌍☀️🌈 #BLM (@paulgardner303) reported

    @giffgaff @salome_gongadze I have also been having poor or no service from giffgaff since the early afternoon today. Right now it's showing as "No Service". I have rebooted my iphone several times to no avail. Do not patronise us by pretending it's a settings issue.

  • BusinessBad4 Bad4Business (@BusinessBad4) reported

    @giffgaff After being fined for over charging customer between 2016 - 2019, when will you start to acknowledge that your customers are missing calls and you have no fix? They pay for a service, but only receive a partial service. Seems like your spots haven't changed!

  • MaisyLeague Maisy (@MaisyLeague) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, thanks for your response. After paying 35 pounds and requesting to change my old number to this new giff gaff plan, I have noticied that the data I receive is actually really poor and will not work for me. I’ve tried to cancel my transfer of numbers but it won’t let me, help

  • timidheathen marxist bully boi (@timidheathen) reported

    @giffgaff I’m not. I’m just out of it because I tried to get help from you and couldn’t speak to a human.

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

    @shed7anorak Hi Sherina. Have you ported your number to another network? If so, your SIM and number will no longer be active on giffgaff - giffgaff Jade
