  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Noosh1977 Anouska Curzon (@Noosh1977) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff Unfortunately none of the questions in the support function relate to my problem. Can you help?

  • jammach Gavin BrrrIan Barrie 🏳️‍🌈🐕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👬🎮 (@jammach) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Noosh1977 Anouska Curzon (@Noosh1977) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff when I send texts it appears as another number to the recipient - can you help?

  • ScotEUSwe SeanAshe🇪🇺 (@ScotEUSwe) reported

    Hmm, the Internet is doing its thing again and being absolute ****. Sky calls it "Superfast," if that is the case then why is my phone's 4G sometimes double the speed of broadband? Sky: 15-24 Mbps GiffGaff 4G+: 15-40 Mbps Now tethered to my phone as the dropouts are increasing.

  • BispingJr BispingJr (@BispingJr) reported

    @giffgaff why is sim only allowing me to make emergency calls

  • 1angiedixon 1angiedixon (@1angiedixon) reported

    @giffgaff Can you tell me who to contact to get the replacement phone sent out? The phone I’m using now loses network connection every 10 minutes
