    @WilliamNB @giffgaff No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • MXOFO Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

  • 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.

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

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

  • ScooterRiderFMX 🏳️‍🌈 #ImMeWhoAreYou 🏳️‍🌈 (@ScooterRiderFMX) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

    @giffgaff lost my 4g and can’t send or receive calls Sent you message with no reply Can anyone at Giff Gaff help....

  • 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?

  • SixCylinderDean Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @giffgaff #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract Just sayin.

  • nathanlawsn Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

    @giffgaff Transferred over to giffgaff, followed all steps and SIM Network PUK not working. Unable to use phone. Help!!

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

    @rebby1992 We're very sorry to hear this, Rebekah. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

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

    @Bexstorr We're sorry to hear this, Rebecca. If your phone is asking for a SIM Network PIN then this means your phone is locked to the previous network you used. In this case, you'll need to get in touch with them or take it to a Mobile repair store near you. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • RiderLAK Kat Jones 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏳️‍🌈 (@RiderLAK) reported

    @giffgaff, any reason why there's a data network outage that had my phone tell me "Yo your phone data network's gone"? Can't be the only one who's brought this up.

  • ezelukwu ◤𝓝 (@ezelukwu) reported

    @giffgaff is there a reason you don't allow conference calls on your network? I mean, you should let people know this on time, so people can avoid your network.

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

    @SamAli77777 We're so sorry about this, Sam. Can you please drop us a DM, so we can help further? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • rebby1992 Rebekah Chapman (@rebby1992) reported from Nottinghamshire, England

    @giffgaff can you tell me why you keep turning off my network? I need my internet and calls for work and you keep cutting me off. Your website doesn't have any information on it as to what is going on.

  • elizavrose06 evrhc (@elizavrose06) reported

    @giffgaff I can never seem to view my repayment schedule of my phone loan, when I click on the link it takes me back to the homepage. I’ve had this issue previously and it’s never seemed to be resolved?
