  • 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.

  • 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)

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

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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. 👍

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

    No signal, phone or data here @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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Mykiel_B MikeKAB (@Mykiel_B) reported

    @DelphineMusic @giffgaff I use my iPad Air with a giffgaff sim and it works great. Mine actually installed the carrier profile automatically. Do you have the latest iOS first and foremost? If not update that first. Then go to Settings~General~Reset~Reset network settings then pressing See if that works.

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

    @kingrajib123 Oh dear, that's not good. Can you please drop us a DM with your full post code, so we can check for any issues? - giffgaff Tasbiya

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

    @Bexstorr We're sorry to hear this, Rebecca. If your phone is asking for a SIM Network PIN then this means your phone is locked to the previous network you used. In this case, you'll need to get in touch with them or take it to a Mobile repair store near you. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • JayPalmer17 Jay Palmer (@JayPalmer17) reported

    @giffgaff I've tried this and it still won't connect. I've put an EE sim in the phone and it connected instantly so it's an issue with giffgaff not the phone

  • lankylegohead Jason (@lankylegohead) reported

    @thealso @ThreeUK I didnt really have any complaints with GiffGaff when I was with them, except their signal was usually worse than people sat next to me on O2 (they use the same network, so thought that was weird).

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

    @manansaddique Oh dear. As your giffgaff SIM card is working fine in another phone, it sounds like the issue is with the phone itself. Have you tired a non giffgaff SIM card in your new phone? - giffgaff Jade

  • CammieRacing Cammie Racing (@CammieRacing) reported

    @giffgaff Yes, just letting everyone else know the kinda service GiffGaff offers to customers who bought phones from you.

  • bigwows The Marvellous Muttdini 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔰💜🤍💚 (@bigwows) reported

    @cosmiclandmine Avoid EE. Vodafone are so-so. GiffGaff are good with a flexible, no contract model (tho an O2 MVNO), provided you can get a decent signal - it’s woeful here.

  • DelphineMusic ☕ LeliBug ☕ (@DelphineMusic) reported

    @giffgaff Confused how iPads work with your SIM Cards. NO APNs work & Officially you have NO iPadOS APNs that I can find The Official APN you have is for ANDROID. The others were “unofficial” & on forums. Your Customer Services were no help at all. Bought £10 bag & not working!

  • CammieRacing Cammie Racing (@CammieRacing) reported

    Bad experience with @giffgaff. 2''Like New'' iPhone refurbs & both had faulty batteries - Told their agents I want a refund but they're sending me a replacement I don't want. Can't fone them, can't leave a msg with the return team, agents take 2-3 days to reply...
