    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

    @virginmedia I am close to running out of my phone's data. I've just about used up a month's worth of GiffGaff, for essential communications, in the past 5 days while Virgin broadband has been down. I'm unable to connect to GiffGaff for a phone top up with a poor signal.

    @giffgaff Thanks for replying, it is back now, but was doing that thing of taking forever to load once I signed in and then a flash of dashboard and it disappeared. Only to reload, and do the same. And very slow.

    @HobbitInACloset Hi there Reshma. SIM activation can take up to 24 hours to fully complete, so please do not worry if the goodybag isn't showing as live on the account as yet. Reboot the phone periodically for service and refresh your giffgaff account page during this time. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @giffgaff Just ordered a new phone from you. Can you recycle my old one? It's got a broken screen. Not looking for cash obviously - just to minimise landfill!

  • LeaF1382 A H Price (@LeaF1382) reported

    @giffgaff Ok, thats what I hoped. I therefore don't understand the 'x' on the phone screen over the network signal icon and the fact that I cant make calls.

  • jenp1969 Jennifer Page (@jenp1969) reported

    @giffgaff Ordered a new phone from you on Friday. Had a message yesterday from DPD saying it would be delivered. Waited in - it didn't come. Same today. Can I cancel the order please? Can't find a way of contacting you on your website!

  • FahimaIsaq Fahima (@FahimaIsaq) reported

    Hey @giffgaff - I haven't been able to use my data for two days now, even though I still have some left in my goody bag. Help please.

  • BigBlackKei Kingsley (@BigBlackKei) reported

    @giffgaff I'll save you the time, I've gone through these troubleshooting options a million times. Respecfully, your network is the problem. I've checked the coverage, I've swapped sims, I've even bought a new phone, and GiffGaff is the common denominator

  • LeaF1382 A H Price (@LeaF1382) reported

    @giffgaff I haven't been able to access the phone network since receiving a message warning me that I've used all the 'goodybag' data allowance. Two attempts to 'top up' have made no difference. My credit card shows £20 worth of pending transactions but still no service.

  • larstall Liam Arstall (@larstall) reported from Havant, England

    @SkyHelpTeam Done many times. The coverage is awful and getting worse. Not sure what O2 are doing, but seems to be impacting Sky, Tesco and GiffGaff - other’s networks my friends use. Used to be very good
