  • 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

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @giffgaff embarrassing network changing provider today no service for 3 days only god knows how many important phone calls/ texts I’ve missed

    @tashtashanat Listen after my first contract I never again did one. Absolute waste of money, I straight buy out now and use giffgaff

  • shammi97484481 shamaya (@shammi97484481) reported

    @giffgaff What else can I do I’m desperate #help

  • wheresnigel Nigel Hawthorn (@wheresnigel) reported

    @giffgaff I know that's how you reply, as that's how you replied! I am suggesting that your email could have included the answer so that the customer got there faster. Instead you force your customer to find data services, name/password/login a portal to read it.

  • AndrewF15580922 Andrew Ferguson (@AndrewF15580922) reported

    @virginmedia @LornaDa81281283 Just bin the virgin sim. Wish I had never left giffgaff. Spent an hour in the phone to virgin and they don’t even admit they have an issue

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

    @_yogaprincess Oh no, we're sorry to hear this. Can you please drop us a DM with your full post code, so we can check for any issues. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    In a world of poor customer service, one company that constantly overdelivers is @giffgaff Tremendous value for money and their stuff “just works”. One ad-hoc month of goodybag data at £20 for 80GB has meant non-stop Netflix and TV during > 1 week hospital stay. Fantastic value.

  • thomasdavies Thomas Davies (@thomasdavies) reported

    @steve228uk @SupercutsUK @ICOnews That might be your service provider. My partner is on Giffgaff and they ban texts to shortcode numbers and I don’t believe offer a way to in-ban sending texts to shortcodes. Assuming, it’s a shortcode number!

  • Headlessspectre Chris Jones (@Headlessspectre) reported

    @giffgaff Bitterly disappointed. Ordered a refurbished “as new” black iphone11. Paid £469 upfront. You’ve sent me a red phone with pitted marks down both sides. Please DM me as a matter of urgency.
