  • 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.

  • 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?

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

    @giffgaff hi, need to cancel my account but cannot log in. Can someone assist. Thx

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @giffgaff Morning! I just pop up a new 5G plan on my iPhone 12 but seems it’s not working for me even after I have set to work on 5G on my phone settings

  • Johndartspur John H (@Johndartspur) reported from Gravesend, England

    @giffgaff Hi contacting for my friend Maggie who's an OAP she has bought a £25 goodybag at roughly 3am today and its not showing up in her credit can you private message so I can give you her number as she can't contact anyone for help

  • 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 🤬😤

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

    @WilliamNB We can appreciate how frustrating this must have been for you. We ask for you to complete a SIM swap to ensure there are no SIM issues. Did you manage to SIM swap? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • StunnerCurves StunnerCurves (Birmingham,UK) £3 O.F💦 (@StunnerCurves) reported from Birmingham, England

    @giffgaff And still dropping signal every 3 hours

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    with those, but the way @giffgaff treats people is simply atrocious! Don't EVER lie! Don't EVER blame the customer when it's patently obvious there's an issue with the mast. Don't ever do business with a company who treats you like this!

  • RehabilitatedB3 Back in rehab (@RehabilitatedB3) reported

    @Jessrocks71 @LSW12612672511 @Marian17761604 My mum is having so many problems with her landline, keeps breaking down, charged her 65 quid for an engineer to fix it. That was talktalk, most oldies can't get on internet to pay bills etc. I got her a mobile on GiffGaff & 6 squid comes out of my account every month.

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @giffgaff No. Last time there was an error with the mast you lot tried blaming the handsets & insisted I do a SIM swap. A big part of the reason why I *will* leave your service is because of how awfully you handled the last outage & how you tried to blame me! You're a nasty company!

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

    @garrybanjo We're very sorry to hear this, Garry. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

  • osmodias Osmodias (@osmodias) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff "The mobile network run by you" I thought that was just a metaphorical marketing phrase. So they're literally blaming you for not running the network ;)

  • grizzlysuk Grizzlys (@grizzlysuk) reported

    @huddlestone_v @WilliamNB @giffgaff I am using giffgaff for same reason I personally found EE awful and as much as I am not a huge fan of Vodafone customer service I would say they probably most reliable service and coverage but you do pay a premium for it.

  • garrybanjo garry finlayson (@garrybanjo) reported

    @giffgaff Strange problem here, my wife has had "no service" for 2 days but my service is fine. Did a hard reset on her phone, no joy

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @linseygiles One of the quickest ways to get my back up is to be treated like this. Reasonable tests I have no issue with, but it's obvious that @giffgaff has no interest in anything other than twisting the truth
