    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

    If @giffgaff is the mobile network run by me, then I am a cretin

  • Musti_khader Musti (@Musti_khader) reported

    Btw like is EE banned in Manny because why do I have bad reception everywhere in that city? Giffgaff *** merchants.

  • WSC0_X { wsc }; (@WSC0_X) reported

    @Messsingh @MartinSLewis That's because iD Mobile uses the Three network. Try someone like giffgaff which is on the much better O2 network.

  • HouseInNowhere Hidden Villain Lilith (@HouseInNowhere) reported

    @Nash076 @LexiAlex Yeah that's not even a weird American thing either. I used to be on Giffgaff, which is a UK network renting space from O2 for cheaper.

  • TomjHindle Tom Hindle (@TomjHindle) reported

    @giffgaff hi! I use you for my sons phone and I lost my bank card l, I have updated the new card details but his monthly goody bag is not coming out and he doesn’t have any data! Can you help please

  • jen_efc Jen (@jen_efc) reported

    Anyone know what 3 phone network is like? I’m currently on giffgaff but signal is shite, especially round Goodison when I can’t contact anyone at all. Signal map on 3 website looks good but wondering if anyone can give any advice/recommendations 👍🏼
