    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • barnstormed Matt (@barnstormed) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff And yet Giffgaff have since gone back on their tweet from a few days ago and are saying it doesn't work?!

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

    @barnstormed The issue could be with the phone or with the SIM, which is why we advise in SIM swapping and testing other SIM's. Should the issue persist then please get in touch with the manufacturer. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • MertonMuffley Jonathan Brooks (@MertonMuffley) reported

    @giffgaff hi gifgaff. Not sure whats going on but every month for past couple of months my auto top up doesnt occur and I end up using up credit and/or running out with no idea why my phone has stopped working. Can you fix?

  • manx_maid Stephanie Brooke (@manx_maid) reported

    @giffgaff However, the choice of only a driving licence or passport to prove age is your choice, and excludes many disabled people as I said, who no longer or have never had either ; there should be alternative means of lifting the block.

  • NIGHTSLXYERR b. (@NIGHTSLXYERR) reported

    @lonlycrybIood oh shiiiiiit, i’m a sucker for o2 cos the signal is always good, plus free wifi an priority. i’ve heard of ID but didn’t know it was a whole network thing, i thought it was like giffgaff

  • barnstormed Matt (@barnstormed) reported

    @giffgaff I'll send off for another sim and if that doesn't work like I suspect it won't, then i'm off to VOXI. Sad as i've been with GiffGaff since 2011

  • ftb_11 ft (@ftb_11) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I haven't been able to receive any SMS to my mobile for days now. I can't do my online banking, I can't pay my clients. My business is affected. I might lose my house. Please help me!

  • MikeHenson Mike Henson 🙉🙈🙊 (@MikeHenson) reported

    @bazzacollins I had reliability problems with GiffGaff/O2 with my alarm system so I bought a SIM from Libara/Vodafone which has given me a consistent reliable signal. I bought it through U-Switch and got a discount - I pay £3.50 a month but I do only send text messages.

  • SarahCrust Sarah Crust 💙 (@SarahCrust) reported

    @giffgaff I have but no response. I need it fast as the warranty is nearing. Can you help please?

  • soylentteal X Æ A-12🌈🧢😷 (@soylentteal) reported
