    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • LashanStuff Lashan (@LashanStuff) reported from Camberwell, England

    @giffgaff There wasn't, the network just slows down to a crawl/stops functioning from congestion levels that are literally a daily occurrence there

  • nealdcruz Neal D'Cruz (@nealdcruz) reported from Bromley, England

  • staylowkae baby wasteman. (@staylowkae) reported from London, England

  • Ryanclairmont 🅡🅨🅐🅝 (@Ryanclairmont) reported from Ilford, England

    Really not good enough, since Thursday got a goodybag sim for my daughter & it's still not working till now,you should haul all sales of sims till the issues are fix. #ofcom #cisas #ombudsmanservice #giffgaff

  • AzukaFred Wang Lin (@AzukaFred) reported from Dartford, England

    Okay, so it’s not just O2. People on other networks are having issues too O2, Three, Vodafone, EE, Giffgaff with most the issues BT, Tesco Mobile & Virgin Media with a few

  • MVautrin Angela M Sturniolo (@MVautrin) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @Claytoncast @ThreeUKSupport @giffgaff I was in Bologna Italy for most of the month of May and didn't have any problems. Maybe it depends where you are. Anyway good luck.

  • Agathi0usssss Agathe (@Agathi0usssss) reported from Hackney, England

    Am I the only one having Data issue with @giffgaff ! Every time it says my 3G is on but it doesn’t work at all 😡😡

  • SophieGudge_ Sophie 💕 (@SophieGudge_) reported from Stratford, England

    @l0ulaa I had this issue in Lincoln with Three... had to change to giffgaff as it was so bad!

  • fchaps68 Fiona Chapman**••..** (@fchaps68) reported from Brentwood, England

    @SophieEB @giffgaff @ThreeUK Giffgaff is great and when u go abroad I just buy a local sim and you still use your UK number on wats app. So much cheaper!Obviously only works if your phone is not locked to a particular network tho! X

  • Loucathwil ☃️🎄🦌loucathwil🧵✂️🧸 (@Loucathwil) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

  • LashanStuff Lashan (@LashanStuff) reported from Camberwell, England

    @giffgaff Service was practically unusable around London Bridge station at 5pm yesterday

  • CliveJGoodwin Clive J Goodwin (@CliveJGoodwin) reported from Bromley, England

    @giffgaff Just activated my SIM and ported my old number over from previous network. Seemless process. Fast 4G signal also. 👍

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

    No signal, phone or data here @giffgaff

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • Agathi0usssss Agathe (@Agathi0usssss) reported from Poplar, England

    @giffgaff It’s ain’t working since yesterday afternoon I have tried to disconnect and reconnect it ain’t working and the network seems to be fine where I am right now 😡 I’m paying £25 to have unlimited and right now it isn’t!

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff Clearly this isn't based on your customer service... 17hours since I last heard from your "agent"

  • MaryKnightArt Mary Knight: Allsorts (@MaryKnightArt) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, not tried yet but apple has no ‘hotspot’ listed in system menu. when I contacted someone on their ‘support’,chat (cannot checkback as did not keep the ref. number, he proposed that Apple did not support Giffgaff. (When I get my sim this week I will try and see).

  • MaryKnightArt Mary Knight: Allsorts (@MaryKnightArt) reported

    @Apple Trying to find out if I can use a giffgaff sim in my new and rather costly phone. Your ‘support’ cut me off. I also understand you will not allow tethering with giffgaff. Why is this please? I am having a bad experience with Apple today.

  • miked36 Mike d (@miked36) reported

    @giffgaff how long dies it take for your recycle team to send a phone back? You really are a bag of ****. 24 hours to answer a question and then dont give a straight answer. Delaying it further.every heard of live chats in these modern times?

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff Day 3 and my elderly disabled mother's internet is still off, unresolved, and now that they realised its their fault it is back to ignoring me. WORST "CUSTOMER SERVICE" EVER!

  • cozycritters16 Cozycritters (@cozycritters16) reported

    @giffgaff Because @asda_mobile are compete crap!! Switching my mom over to giffgaff where the service is much better!

  • MaryKnightArt Mary Knight: Allsorts (@MaryKnightArt) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I know you allow tethering but the @Apple support guy suggested that they did not!

  • diswhorientated Diswhorientated (@diswhorientated) reported

    @slut4satanism I use Giffgaff. Getting a work phone is a good move, when you're not working you can switch it off and forget all about annoying clients

  • lucy_stokess Lucy (@lucy_stokess) reported

    @giffgaff have unlimited data as part of my goody bag but 4G doesn’t work, nor does the phone connect to internet whilst using data. Apple store said to speak to giffgaff about the issue - is it a problem with the SIM?

  • LongExposures Andrew Whyte (@LongExposures) reported

    Plus side of being a @virginmedia customer is that when the home wifi drops and I'm forced onto my phone's 4G- which happens multiple times a day- I get to enjoy the speed & dependability of my @giffgaff mobile service. #GlassHalfFull
