    @LeftLost_Pltcs Might want to check coverage maps on a couple of providers to prevent disappointment. GiffGaff run on the O2 network, as does Tesco mobile.

  • trrhodes Ross Rhodes (@trrhodes) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff Hi Hannah, thanks for the prompt reply. This seems to be a persistent problem near a signal tower, so I suspect that may be the cause of the problem? May your team investigate further please?

  • AndruRomanowski Andrés Romanowski (@AndruRomanowski) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff Thank you Kyle. I just contacted an agent to see if they can help.

  • clouddancefest Cloud Dance Festival (@clouddancefest) reported from Portobello, Scotland

    @brightdome Feedback from my mother who was seeing Paradise Lost tonight - she was at table 17, but had no phone signal to scan the bar code and order drinks (she’s with Giffgaff). She absolutely loved the show, and all the attention to detail to ensure safety.

  • clouddancefest Cloud Dance Festival (@clouddancefest) reported from Portobello, Scotland

    @giffgaff So, your goodybags don’t cover any phone calls or texts - including phone calls to landline numbers (0131) or texts to other Giffgaff users. How much do users have to bribe GG for even a vaguely functional service, and what compensation does GG give failed customers?

  • ashpryce Ash Pryce (@ashpryce) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff having data connection problems in Edinburgh, been having trouble the past few days.

  • DRZO73 David Ogilvie (@DRZO73) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Awww, no @giffgaff!!! I hate the new voicemail guy. Terrible annoying voice and I just want the friendly, cheery Geordie announcer guy back or I'm going to have to leave you. #bringbackgeordiegiffgaff

  • paulforsyth7867 Paul Forsyth (@paulforsyth7867) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @Rpearson081 @CEOemail @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @Three_Is_Broken @EE @giffgaff As soon as my contract is up with Three, I'm moving to another service provider. Only get poor service and coverage from Three and has got worse recently. Not wasting money any longer on this appalling company who provide you with nothing.

    @WilliamNB @vodafone @EE I don't know where abouts you are, but if that's 3 companies you've had issues with, are you sure it's not your phone playing up?? I've never had issues with Vodafone or giffgaff (can't speak for EE) but Vodafone isn't cheap hence moving to gg. Hope you get it sorted anyway!

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

    @labmrb We're sorry you're having issues. Have you been in touch with our agents regarding your SIM being cancelled? - giffgaff Jeanette

  • chris_skelsey Chris Skelsey (@chris_skelsey) reported

    No signal at home for two days now, what's the deal @giffgaff ? Postcode HX6 3ED

  • WinchesterLunch WinchesterLunchbreak (@WinchesterLunch) reported

    @nicktweet Oh goody, I'm on giffgaff which is basically O2. To be honest I doubt I'll notice a difference - I never get a connection in Winchester anyway - everything cuts out from Worthy Lane carpark onward

  • DJMontyzephyr Monty Zephyr (@DJMontyzephyr) reported

    @CraftyNigel @giffgaff That's a shock I've been with giffgaff for about 5 years and never had a problem

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

    @ClareLouiseMil2 Unfortunately there is still a problem with the mast at the moment we're afraid, Clare. Our engineers are working on this, but currently we don't have any further updates on when this will be resolved. We're really sorry for the inconvenience caused by that. - giffgaff Emer.

  • ClareLouiseMil2 Clare Lou Milbz (@ClareLouiseMil2) reported

    @giffgaff no signal indoors, can barely get a signal outside. What is happening? Two days it's been like this and that was without the other day where it wasn't working either. Would hope for a bit more reliability when your paying £300 a year

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

    Dear @vodafone, I've just switched to you, after the pathetic service from @giffgaff, only to find your signal at my home fluctuates between 4G, 3G and nothing at all. On the same handset, which remains in the same spot Can you fix that in a hurry, please? Or should I move to EE?

  • Drea00000 Andrea (@Drea00000) reported

    @giffgaff your website is down and I’ve run out of credit last night and I can’t add credit and goody bag and I am no where near WiFi today and need data ASAP . please help , when will the site be back up so I can add credit

  • ManicEddie Edward Woods (@ManicEddie) reported

    @WilliamNB @vodafone @giffgaff I'm with EE. Only problem I've had, and I've also had it with Vodafone, is that if I cycle or walk along the South Downs or Kent coast I get charged for using French signals.
