  • 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....

  • 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.

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • J3XLCartwright Jake Cartwright (@J3XLCartwright) reported

    @giffgaff What is your policy on keeping numbers alive on your network? For example, I will be using a connection on your network, but not that often. How often would I need to make an outbound call to retain the number?

  • dancastree6346 robert smith (@dancastree6346) reported

    @giffgaff not sure if the dm will go through twitter keeps blocking my dm .there must be something giffgaff can do to look into this without dm there must be other customers with the same problem

  • pmh2_patrick ⚽️ (@pmh2_patrick) reported

    @giffgaff She has. But she finds it hard to follow their instructions. There seems to be an issue with her phone, which she bought from you, but as it’s a bit out of the 30 days they are not being too helpful with a repair or replacement.

  • clouddancefest Cloud Dance Festival (@clouddancefest) reported from Portobello, Scotland

    @brightdome Feedback from my mother who was seeing Paradise Lost tonight - she was at table 17, but had no phone signal to scan the bar code and order drinks (she’s with Giffgaff). She absolutely loved the show, and all the attention to detail to ensure safety.

  • headbarnesy gerry barnes (@headbarnesy) reported

    @kirky0110 Your provider is Giffgaff, you have no contact or contract with O2, other than it’s the network Giffgaff use. I am no fan of O2 either, but Giffgaff have been superb

  • F1Lozzy lozzy🏳️‍🌈 (@F1Lozzy) reported

    @rhiannonefc18 i’ve always been on O2 and loved it but you do pay a bit more... i’m with giffgaff now (who run off O2s signal) and it’s so good to be able to change tariffs month by month. in lockdown when i was on wifi 24/7 i reduced my data and saved sooo much

  • ZomeDash Levi (@ZomeDash) reported

    @Sutoretchii @O2 @SMARTYMobileUK I used giffgaff a few years ago which runs on O2 and it was fine, been using voxi since which is on Vodafone and its great. Tried smarty once, could hardly get a signal anywhere. Awful

  • Photo_Iain Iain J 🇪🇺💙 #StillEuropean (@Photo_Iain) reported

    @markbutcher9 @RemainingKind @Eddystone506 Hardly naive, I’d suggesting getting it in proportion. You know what O2 announced for 2022, in-effect a fair use policy, will actually be cheaper that what Giffgaff already charge EU roaming customers exceeding 25gb. Even EE is one network of over 60 operators&virtual operators.

  • JackpWild JackPWild (@JackpWild) reported

    @giffgaff God help your "pals"

  • MetalHoosier Ψ (@MetalHoosier) reported

    @giffgaff hey, I just got an email about my Goodybag confirmation. I have the recurring disabled because I don't live in the UK. Want to help with this?
