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

  • 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

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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

  • sofiloco Sofi Summers (@sofiloco) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff hi Giff Gaff 👋🏼 my husband is having problems with his data - it’s not working at all. We’re in N1 London. Is it down?

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Bukom_Boy Mr Wellington (@Bukom_Boy) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @giffgaff is there a problem with your network coverage ? My network has been off since 12 noon and it’s still not back.

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Gemalovesyou gemma (@Gemalovesyou) reported

    @giffgaff I couldn’t figure out how to get to someone from the options, honestly! A very odd and specific issue

  • sludgetown McCuntney Gruntfump (@sludgetown) reported

    'You don't have enough credit to make this call.' What's the point of having an option for auto top-up if you're not going to do it, stupid Giffgaff.

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

    @RobertHol6 Hi Robert. We're so sorry to hear that you're having problems. The SIM can take up to 24 hours to fully activate once you activate this on your account. We would recommend restarting your phone periodically during this time as this usually helps. - giffgaff Emer.

  • actionspouser WILL (@actionspouser) reported

    @giffgaff I topped up my friends phone and the screen demonstrated that the card payment didn't go through. So I tried again and £40 in total has been debited. I meant to top up just £20 please help

  • shirtytrish ShirtytrisH 🚖 *a typo in every tweet* 🙄 (@shirtytrish) reported

    @giffgaff hi! I ordered a sim, but cannot use it on my daughtwrs phone-it's locked to ee, so want to cancel. But as unused, i cannot login to cancel it, and still being charged.

  • Michael_MXP MMartin (@Michael_MXP) reported

    @liamnorris1001 Sky mobile just runs on top of O2's network, which is fine enough locally. Just comes down to whether you like dealing with Sky or not. I usually go for GiffGaff myself.

  • NicolaLeanneTay 𝔑𝔦𝔠𝔨𝔩𝔞𝔯𝔥 (@NicolaLeanneTay) reported

    @giffgaff I’m having issues with using my data when out and about, any idea as to why this is?

  • virtualdolI anu (@virtualdolI) reported

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

  • AndrewShute2 Andy S (@AndrewShute2) reported

    @katelallyx Circumstances resulted in me using a Samsung , absolutely hate it, so thankfully back on my iPhone. If you’re happy with your current phone go contract free, @giffgaff are amazing they operate on the @O2 network, I pay £15 a month.
