  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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)

  • 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

  • natcmidge Natalie (@natcmidge) reported

    @giffgaff hi, no network issues showing in the area but my mum can’t use either her phone or tablet both on giffgaff. She can’t top up or call you to discuss the issue…she’s just had surgery and needs phone access! Help please

  • Mildred76 Rachel Midwood (@Mildred76) reported

    @giffgaff There is no answer on the feedback and they are saying its answered but nothing and phone not working. So I'm not tech phobic...but its not even taking or sending WiFi calls but has credit...

  • soxxylady Sharon 🦋 (@soxxylady) reported

    @JackpWild @stax97 @giffgaff Calm down! It’s not a bloody commercial 🙄 I was stating before you had a fit! That if you researched reviews etc on companies before you buy a phone. Then you wouldn’t get crap refurbish ones 🙄 grow up 👋

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff DO NOT use this strange company with no customer services that you can talk to. We purchased their SIM card for a brief period then cancel it by following their website. Despite email assurances 2 months on they are still charging us via DD. DISGRACE!

  • Tracy52468806 Tracy (@Tracy52468806) reported

    @giffgaff Done all those things already. Will be looking for new provider. Too many issues and poor coverage

  • asaltyplace kay (@asaltyplace) reported

    @giffgaff I paid for a £20 goodybag and still haven’t received an email of confirmation and the goodybag is not active yet, the money is off my account though. please help :))

  • asaltyplace kay (@asaltyplace) reported

    @giffgaff I have tried both, haven’t heard anything back. I need to get this sorted asap as I need data when I’m outside, is there any way you can help me? :)

  • johnprangnell John Prangnell (@johnprangnell) reported

    Any idea what’s happening to the 4g service around the #sawtry area this week ?? #O2 #giffgaff

  • darwin_got_this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿✊🏼✊🏾Pragmatist📸🎨🇬🇧 (@darwin_got_this) reported

    @GL650_LynneG It's a general comment. I'm Giffgaff, but that runs on O2.. I get them, but they aren't from O2, a parcel service or whatever because they come from a mobile number not a 4 digit assigned number.

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

    @natcmidge Oh dear, we're so sorry to hear this. Can you please send us a DM with her full post code, just so we can check for any issues? - giffgaff Tasbiya
