  • 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

  • Mr_MartinCalder Mr Martin Calder (@Mr_MartinCalder) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @EE Giffgaff has unlimited everything for £35 and even that is very expensive and crazy for the price in the current day’s we are living networks need to help their customers

  • 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

  • BartBoski Bartek 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇵🇱 (@BartBoski) reported from Camberwell, England

    Hey @Ofcom we have been having issues with our mobile number that’s with @giffgaff no calls/texts from EE are coming through! (pretty basic part of service) Reported to @giffgaff beginning of August - still not resolved. (Suspect it’s been going on for much longer) can you help?

  • 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

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Racha33l Rachael (@Racha33l) reported

    @giffgaff 6 times I’ve tried to renew my goody bag to be told with an error message.. it’s your side? My card has now been blocked, I’ve run out of petrol 10 miles from home & im stranded with no signal to call for help..

  • AmAProperJoke Paul Burke (@AmAProperJoke) reported

    @giffgaff Any chance of some help activating my new Sim card when I can't log in to Giffgaff for some unknown reason?!

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

    @wiredfire The battery will be in full working order, as we check battery life before the phones go out to our members. However, if there are any issues then all refurbished phones on giffgaff are covered under a 12-month warranty - giffgaff Jade

  • UncleZebulon SiBr (@UncleZebulon) reported

    @giffgaff All this frustrating garbage would be avoided if you allowed multiple sims to be managed from a single account. Feels like bloody amateur hour.

  • AmAProperJoke Paul Burke (@AmAProperJoke) reported

    Giffgaff may be a cheap network, but it's the worst one EVER when you're having issues. There's literally nobody you can speak to, it's all done via messages and emails. What should be 30 seconds is taking days!!!

  • wiredfire WiredFire (@wiredfire) reported

    @giffgaff Sorry to keep in about it, but under what conditions would a battery issue qualify for a warranty return? For example if I receive a phone with low battery capacity, say 81%, would that be covered by warranty?

  • M0KPH Phil - M0KPH (@M0KPH) reported

    @RobertDL3RR We were with EE, but coverage is limited round here, so we then moved to O2. Great coverage, but appalling service, so we moved to giffgaff as it is on the Telefonica network so same coverage as O2, though offers a very flexible monthly package without contract.

  • Seanr712 Seanr7🌹♿ (@Seanr712) reported

    @giffgaff No **** off I want nothing more to do with any of you. 😡
