  • 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!

  • 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.

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @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

  • 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!

  • 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. 👍

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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

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

    giffgaff finally back to more data less money but ofc its slow now 😐

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

    @giffgaff why are you so crap

  • crash_cohle Mark Gibbons (@crash_cohle) reported

    @giffgaff Incident: 220723-000351 U R a horrible heartless bunch. Ofcom should expel u from the telecoms market. Words don't fail me when I think of you, you're not worth it! I can see why you are rated as the worst telecom company in the UK. A title u have definitely earned

  • omotforest david sinfield #fbpe #onlykidding (@omotforest) reported

    And my giffgaff data roaming doesn't work and my Vodafone to SIM has expired because I haven't used it for 30 months. Otherwise all is well with the world.

  • comrade_chungus ??? (@comrade_chungus) reported

    Photo 2 shows the absolute cheek of their subsequent trade in quote for my near-perfect iPhone X. £29 offered down from £145 due to some non-existent 'screen burn' Incredibly shady practice from @giffgaff, to first send me a non as described product and then subsequently...

  • _ClaireMcGregor Claire (@_ClaireMcGregor) reported

    @BellaRoscetti @ollieburtonmed Me too - I bought a second hand iphone from GiffGaff, a model only a few years old but for half the price, only thing was slightly degraded battery life but not a huge issue. Paying that off over 2 years + voxi came to £29 pm!

  • O2 O2 (@O2) reported

    @CharmingFishFan We're sorry to hear that and we appreciate how frustrating this must be for you. However, if you're with Giffgaff, you'd need to contact them directly for further help and support.

  • JuJulesberry Jules 💙 (@JuJulesberry) reported

    @giffgaff will do but it happens all the time and has been going on for months at first I though it was because there was an active goody bag but no credit but even with credit it still has the same issue I tried asking the community a while back and got nowhere

  • comrade_chungus ??? (@comrade_chungus) reported

    @ijjeeezy @giffgaff Even if customer services are helpful why are they trying to ***** people out of money on trade ins? there’s hundreds of reviews online where people accuse them of falsifying condition reports in order to give low quotes. Borderline illegal IMO

  • vinesack Joe Wadsack (@vinesack) reported

    Thanks for your advice everyone. It appears that @giffgaff is overwhelmingly the most popular suggestion amongst you, but I still have to pay over £1000 in rentals before I can consider moving from the crooks at @EE. Do any providers help facilitating the move?

  • Tigercuddles74 Julie A Richardson (@Tigercuddles74) reported from Livingston, Scotland

    @MartinSLewis Between 6,8 quid a month on Giffgaff swapped from o2 that I BEEN with for 10 years when they dropped lend us a quid and rewards was going down it was time to change would not have it any other way
