  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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 @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.

Giffgaff Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    So I can no longer send or receive iMessages on my phone. Apple Support say because it's trying to authenticate *by SMS* with a server in the US, and my carrier @giffgaff is blocking international SMS. Very confusing. It's worked for years, why did it just suddenly stop?

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @lauurenkelly Hi Lauren, we're sorry to hear that your boyfriend is having issues with his data. He would need to contact Giffgaff directly about this for further help.

  • WaynesWorldAuto Wayne's World Auto ✍️ 🇬🇧 (@WaynesWorldAuto) reported

    As a @giffgaff customer (GiffGaff uses the O2 network), perhaps someone there can tell how - if at all - will the £31 billion merger between @virginmedia and @O2 affect me?

  • brianmoreau Brian Moreau (@brianmoreau) reported

    @giffgaff Another company that can't read. I said, I should not have to login to unsubscribe from spam!

  • switches_wow Martin (Switches) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☯ (@switches_wow) reported

    @ChefGarethS @giffgaff Could be... especially if it was that bad lol

  • Gemma_OcTh Gemma (@Gemma_OcTh) reported

    @giffgaff What is going on with my phone signal? Is it poor because I’m now unfortunately living next to a building site...?? It always used to be ok but I will have to change network if this carries on #wfh

  • _gordongeorge Gordon (@_gordongeorge) reported

    @giffgaff I don't think you've understood the issue but nvm

  • nojwop Jon Pow 🏳️‍🌈 (@nojwop) reported

    @giffgaff @Ofcom 97 hours without a resolution to the meltdown of your goodybag purchase systems. utterly disgraceful.

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

    @Gemma_OcTh We're very sorry to hear this, Gemma. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

  • Big_Fat_Gaz That Man Gaz (@Big_Fat_Gaz) reported

    @Plusnet So can you send me a data sim to put in my mifi dongle to give me service. Alternatively will you pay for me to buy an unlimited data goody bag for the giffgaff sim I already have ?
