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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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.

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

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

  • MeInSunderland #ImMe | #SAFC | 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@MeInSunderland) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

    @AlxMakes Yikes. Did she complete a SIM swap Alex, or how did she move her number across? When was this completed? If a SIM swap was carried out, this can take up to 24 hours to process and have full service on the new SIM. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • Akhlaq1386 Akhlaq Hanif (@Akhlaq1386) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I've been experiencing issues with calls and 4G for the last 24 hours (just realised it but could be more than that. Working with a quick restart) any issues I should know about?

  • 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.

  • ChrisJo24895371 Chris Jones (@ChrisJo24895371) reported

    @JohnHurst @giffgaff Hi John, I've not been receiving any Ping ID SMSs for last few days from various companies to then be able to log in. Giff gaff have been useless in sorting it. But I've seen a number of people having similar issues. Is this similar to issue you having?

  • GreatScottLP Scott (@GreatScottLP) reported

    Is @giffgaff being slow as molasses for anyone else right now? Case in point, I've been trying to send this tweet with full bars of 4GLTE for about 20 minutes...

  • BenjaminEHowe Ben (@BenjaminEHowe) reported

    @DigitalStefan @vaelfonia Ah, signal is important as well as cost! Once I've proven that I can use an L2TP tunnel from @aaisp (with port forwarding etc. working on the router) I'm hoping to find someone who sells immediately-switchable "bundles" (e.g. 1pMobile / Giffgaff / etc.) so I can buy ~10GB [1/2]

  • iconickari ig : lavongardekari (@iconickari) reported

    Giffgaff NEVER have signal it’s insane, I switched to virgin but I still have a few weeks to go, I can’t, I actually want to change NOW

  • JasmineDunn Jasmine Dunn (@JasmineDunn) reported

    @giffgaff Giffgaff Network *not available* for voice calls here. Texts 'waiting for connection' also. NO SIGNAL. WHY? Please help @giffgaff

  • graceybabe1 Gwen Davison (@graceybabe1) reported

    @giffgaff can you help? My son is not receiving texts off some people, including me and I'm also with Giffgaff. We have tried doing a manual roam but that didn't work

  • ademuyiwaayeni SOFT-King 🇬🇧🇳🇬 (@ademuyiwaayeni) reported

    @giffgaff can my number be restored on your network again?
