  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • StuartD91164836 Stuart Davis (@StuartD91164836) reported

    @giffgaff Yes I have tried that and they stopped responding. Bought dad a larger phone so he can see screen better while organising mums funeral. Attempted to cancel the order immediately when address was wrong. No response when I asked for this and was given the option by your agent?

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

    @ChelleMcDermott Can you please dial ##002# from his phone, and this should cancel any divert that is enabled on his phone/SIM. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • WillBHA58 WillBHA58 (@WillBHA58) reported

    @giffgaff Hi. I've just put a giffgaff SIM in my Samsung S8. It's asking for a SIM network PUK, but neither the one I got from giffgaff or EE (previous network) works. Any ideas?

  • JackpWild JackPWild (@JackpWild) reported

    @giffgaff can you tell me why i still haven't received a reply to my complaint yet I'm getting emails saying I've not replied and you are going to recycle my (faulty in warranty) phone. Do you know? #arsefromelbow

  • richtwriter101 Richtwriter101 (@richtwriter101) reported

    @giffgaff Just received my "Like New" Iphone XR and its far from looking like new and is in fact chipped and scratched bottom right edge and top right edge. In addition to that the battery is showing only 91% capacity which is very poor.

  • lnr_blair Eleanor Blair (@lnr_blair) reported

    Switched to voxi/Vodafone as giffgaff don't do voice over WiFi. Now out and unable to log into pokemon go, dunno if it's my signal. Sigh.

  • HK_pigs HeiMiu🇭🇰 (@HK_pigs) reported

    @zazumi_A2 HGC blocked my residential Int'l Internet access for about 2 hrs yesterday include some not web service ports & VPN. It seems they try to setup the firewall to block the NET soon. Got ready guy!!! Apply a giffgaff SIM just in case. Activate it only necessary. Free to ship to HK.
