  • 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 No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    @giffgaff lost my 4g and can’t send or receive calls Sent you message with no reply Can anyone at Giff Gaff help....

  • 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.

  • 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.

    🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  • 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.

  • MeInSunderland #ImMe | #SAFC | 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@MeInSunderland) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    @RedDevils_74 @giffgaff Yes she won't have any problems (I use the same one in a 4G phone) giffgaff just need to explain things a bit better,the golden goodybags are the only ones that include 5G but they can still be used with any phone.

  • FarterSmarter 55marterFarter (@FarterSmarter) reported

    @parkovanbasten Mine is only 3 months old. Always go for mid-range phone bought outright and on Giffgaff network every 3 years or so. Seeing people spending £2k+ on phone & contract over 2 years when I get what I need for under £550

  • Linkzy_x Jamie Andrews (@Linkzy_x) reported

    @giffgaff If I were to purchase a one-off data Goodybag, does the data expire at all on these or is it for "forever"? Exploring options for a 4G backup solution for my broadband router in case my internet were to go down. Thank you!

  • btp0990 Ben (@btp0990) reported

    @Virginhelpteam yet again I’m sat at home using my data as your internet is pure crap. Good job @giffgaff looks after us. @Virginhelpteam not good really considering we just settled a previous complaint

  • ukfilmnet ukfilmnet (@ukfilmnet) reported

    @giffgaff Didnt read the tweet huh? Sim ordered weeks ago. No show. Ordered again OVER a week ago. STILL NO show. And your sales / tech support phone number is where...exactly?

  • picapicali っっっっっp (@picapicali) reported

    @giffgaff I’ve lost my signal since this morning and I’ve tried other cards on this phone while they all worked well. I tot it’s because I got no credit on my account so I topped up £10 1 hour ago but it’s still processing. I’m in China btw, rly need to use this number NOW

  • FionaCarty_ Fiona Carty (@FionaCarty_) reported

    @giffgaff can someone please help, I filled out a survey about why I am not using my phone as much and at the end it said my account has been cancelled. I still need my number to work even though it’s not my primary number. Can someone help me get my number back please?
