    @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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @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?

  • Al_typeR Alan Waters (@Al_typeR) reported

    @giffgaff why is it that the data speeds on our network have plummeted in the last few months? My O2 E-sim has exactly the same signal level but works fine. It’s not just my phone but my girlfriends as well and it’s everywhere not just one location.

  • alanstaples Alan Staples (@alanstaples) reported

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff Thanks. I know how to block and also I use the unknown number but when you can expect calls from numbers related to business/work these are annoying, you have to call the numbers to check they are genuine. Shame you can’t block all giffgaff numbers as they seem the scam network.
