  • MXOFO Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown 🐝💛🖤💛🖤💛🐝 (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @giffgaff Is there an problem with the network with sending and receiving texts messages. Both my wife and I are getting undelivered, each time when we sending texts over the last week. Little annoying to say the least.

    @MartinSLewis Please note that price alone for a virtual network does not take priority into account. Example: giffgaff is a virtual network provider on O2's network. But the moment that there is contention (lots of people using it), O2 will give their own direct customers priority. 1/2

  • TishtaSharma Tishta Sharma (@TishtaSharma) reported

    @giffgaff What's happening? It's been two days that the network is unavailable. Today it is worse. I could hardly send this reply after hours of trying. Please fix it ASAP. Working from home is a struggle.

  • Scottkyles6 Scott kyles (@Scottkyles6) reported

    Anybody else experiencing @giffgaff getting worse every day or is it just me? Can't get reception anywhere considering they are meant to use 02 network.

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

    @SpeedbirdFan Hi. It can take up to 24 hours from activation for the services to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot the phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

  • _SandraWindsor SandraWindsor (@_SandraWindsor) reported

    @thepipkins @Judymal3 @ThreeUK If you want the 3 network, get a Smarty sim. I got unlimited data for £16 via MSE website (or maybe another comparison site ?? - worth shopping around). For Vodafone try VOXI, or GiffGaff for O2

  • prov1kenobi76 Big Jim 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@prov1kenobi76) reported

    @giffgaff hi, bought my father n law from usa a sim. Looks like its still auto renewing. How do i cancel? Thxs

  • alexmidd1960 Alex Middletön 💙💛 (@alexmidd1960) reported

    @MartinSLewis I’m paying £8 a month and my wife £6 a month. We don’t want to move because we are with GiffGaff and we like them, Sure, we could save a few quid but it’s really not a problem. We’re happy with GiffGaff.

  • AlanHil Alan Hilton (@AlanHil) reported

    @MartinSLewis Was with Giffgaff for years at £6pm but had poor reception on O2 at home and no wifi calling. Now with Smarty which uses 3 network but also has wifi calling @ £5. Very happy.

  • HelenKathTom Helen K Tomlinson (@HelenKathTom) reported
