  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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....

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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • liztheartise Liz (@liztheartise) reported

    @tashtashanat Listen after my first contract I never again did one. Absolute waste of money, I straight buy out now and use giffgaff

  • CraftyNigel Nigel Craft (@CraftyNigel) reported from Ely, England

    Joined @giffgaff on 1st November , it’s now 19th November and still don’t have a signal , most days it’s non existent, wish I had stayed with @ThreeUK now , giff gaff tells me a mast is broken but it seems like it’s going to never be fixed as it’s been broken since I joined

  • GizgizgizTm TM (@GizgizgizTm) reported

    @giffgaff Hi Elmer, I've logged a ticket but wondered if its a known issue. I can deal with a double top up, just as long as both payments hit my account. Only one showing, even though there's two order transactions. Very odd!

  • T1mbuktwo Lingmell (@T1mbuktwo) reported

    @giffgaff cannot access my account again. This happens time and again. Ended up being locked out as I thought it was incorrect details I was inputting. But no, looks like another outage. Hopeless.

  • MaltMusings Brian's Malt Musings 💙 (@MaltMusings) reported

    @fishgutterfishy @giffgaff Go Android mate, much less problem.

  • Northenerx Dennis Houghton (@Northenerx) reported

    I do not want write it all down again, this is a communication service so when your ready talk to me I will contact you daily and cannot be kind to giffgaff as they have failed me with flying colours so when you are ready to make at least this Customerhappy@giffgaff_Dan

  • steven_ncl Steven NCL (@steven_ncl) reported

    @Enefes3 @yorkshirebloke_ Can't agree on the customer service. I had a 16 year account and the deal they offered me for an IPhone 13 stunk so I bought it direct from Apple and moved to GiffGaff

  • ProfKurtMills Kurt Mills (@ProfKurtMills) reported

    @giffgaff My wife’s recurring goody bag failed. The error message claims the bank rejected the charge, but the bank confirms that the card is working fine and did not reject the charge. Not possible to talk with anybody (very bad customer service) and agent response takes 24hrs.

  • ProfKurtMills Kurt Mills (@ProfKurtMills) reported

    @giffgaff My wife’s recurring goodybag failed. Error message says bank declined payment, but bank confirms card is fine and did not decline. Not possible to call (very bad customer service) and agent response takes 24hrs. Meanwhile, my wife cannot use her phone.

  • Mykiel_B MikeKAB (@Mykiel_B) reported

    @shammi97484481 @giffgaff Dial 43430 option 2 from your phone. Does it say you have a goodybag or allowance? If you are able to as well, see if you can borrow an unlocked or locked to o2 phone to try your sim in to see if it works in there. Check service status in ur area again as they report issues late
