    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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....

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • harlequin_1963 Gary Mackenzie (@harlequin_1963) reported

    @giffgaff i left EE over a year ago due to poor service and lack of support. ( transmitter on maintenance for 2 years so no reliable 4g service) GiffGaff gives me a full 4g signal indoors , 100GB a month data and that costs me £20.00 for golden goodybag.

  • juuuuuuu33 J (@juuuuuuu33) reported

    giffgaff is the ugliest dumbest network ever, never ever again

  • Timmy17672437 Timmy (@Timmy17672437) reported

    @SteveFoxAST For the love of god get a Giffgaff sim and try it. No contract so at worst you waster £10 if the signal is bad or the networks to slow. But do it before your contract end just incase you need to go back to EE. EEs network is better that the O2 one which GG uses but the trade is £

  • sjcot1983 Steve Cottam (@sjcot1983) reported

    @giffgaff I have ordered a sim card twice from your website and both times they've failed to arrive. Any ideas? Seems something or someone doesn't want me to join your network! 😔

    @bobbybeardo @SMARTYMobileUK I ditched smarty due to shocking signal. Went to GiffGaff and since had no issues.

  • murray_hecht Murray Hecht (@murray_hecht) reported

    @AndyGibsonTV I moved to @giffgaff a few years ago. No problems at all, no contract, and you can choose a different bundle (and payment) each month.

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

    @Mark_Antony_3 We're very sorry to hear of your issues Mark. As long as you were using a card or PayPal, you should have had no problems adding a golden goodybag. Have you reached out to our agents about this? - giffgaff Jeanette
