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

    @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)

  • 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

  • JelllyBeaan Gezza (@JelllyBeaan) reported from Romford, England

    @giffgaff hi team is it possible to have some help in regards to my account?

  • 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

  • ric_mc ric (@ric_mc) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my network is very poor since yesterday night and today in this morning is not working at all. sometimes I even got no network. using most of the time at Limehouse and Stoke Newton areas. My phone is an iPhone 12 (trying to) using 5G

    @realbackinstyIe Giffgaff is cheap but their coverage is awful

  • Barnsey_21 Neill Barnes (@Barnsey_21) reported

    @djillings @O2 Switch to @giffgaff mate. They use O2 network but a hell of a lot cheaper 👌🏼

  • itslivmattock Liv (@itslivmattock) reported

    So … I lost the phone with the SIM card linked to this account so I had to order a new one. Then I had to wait for GiffGaff to transfer my number. Then I tried to get a code sent to this one and it never came. Then I had to tweet Twitter Support / Elon Musk and practically beg.

  • sieco sie evans (@sieco) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, my postcode is SM5 3AG O2 initially said it was due to a fault about 2 weeks ago, now their service checker states it's due to being a busy area! Data is pretty much unusable now which is the only reason I signed up to Giffgaff. No problems for the last year or so.

  • _mclewis 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕒 𝕃𝕖𝕨𝕚𝕤 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇺🇦 (@_mclewis) reported

    Good morning @EE 👋 just a message to say, I will be leaving you in June when my contract is up, after years of being a loyal customer, as I do not accept your 14.4% hike on prices. @giffgaff here I come!

  • Jacey_T Jane T (@Jacey_T) reported

    @amscanlon Can't help on iphones but I've had own phone and SIM deal for years. Look at Lebara and GiffGaff. Can get deals for around £5 per month. She won't need loads of data. Do a comparison on uswitch or similar.

  • askfletch1 Chris Fletcher (@askfletch1) reported

    @giffgaff traded in my phone. No payment and can’t contact you ?? Can someone please help. Flat pancake day.

  • celebrutality 🌱 (@celebrutality) reported

    ...customers are treated. @giffgaff let estelle know her customer service is nonexistent. you will not see another penny from me.

  • TerryFCFCSmith Terry FCFC Smith (@TerryFCFCSmith) reported

    @giffgaff are you having issues with service? Not being able to receive calls or texts all day and when I'm calling or messaging out other people aren't receiving them, I'm in Leeds if that helps

  • tallsam Sam (@tallsam) reported

    @thefunmoneyclub @TheO2 I pay 1p a month with Lebara. It goes up to £6 after 6 months. Get way more minutes and data than I did on Giffgaff. Voda network piggyback. Highly recommended.
