  • 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.

  • 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 @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)

    @VoterEngagement Hi Alex. Oh no, that's not right. Can you please drop us a DM, so that we can help further. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • danny_rose_p Danny Rose-Peters (@danny_rose_p) reported

    @NabilN17er Is it because of the number of people in the same place? The nearest cell gets too busy or something? I'm thinking about switching giffgaff for some other provider but I can't find information suggesting this would fix my problem.

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

    @kapilguptaaa This must be a very concerning time for you Kapil. Please be assured if O2 have been notified, they will be able to get your number ported back onto their network as quick as possible. We'd recommend removing your number from this post as it's public. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @O2 Tried to move from Giffgaff. Supplied PAC code etc and was supposed to happen yesterday. Phoned O2 at 17:30 and guy said there had been a technical issue and it would be resolved in the next four hours and would get an email to confirm. No email. Still on Giffgaff. @O2 ??????
