    @giffgaff Morning! I just pop up a new 5G plan on my iPhone 12 but seems it’s not working for me even after I have set to work on 5G on my phone settings

  • catskidschaos Karen Reekie (@catskidschaos) reported from Richmond, England

    If you have to clear your cache and log out then log back in but you can’t click on an e mail link and have to go via a browser to access a service on a website it’s a bit crap. Looks at @giffgaff and mutters about giving up and not bothering to continue with the thing I need...

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • DrJennyVaughan jenny vaughan (@DrJennyVaughan) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @giffgaff sort out your ageist “customer care” approach & call & help my 77 year old mum. You don’t even help me to help her you just send us a barrage of data red tape we can’t deal with. This is how elderly people are marginalised by #giffgaff they just won’t make that call.

    @pipppilottta That's odd. Please can you clear your cache, cookies and web history then try this again. Please also try using a different browser or device, as this should help - giffgaff Jade

  • SwanChaiBaldwin Swan Chai Baldwin (@SwanChaiBaldwin) reported

    @giffgaff my phone has had no reception all day (on a 248mile round trip journey when I’ve needed it probably more than I have in two years!). Please can you let me know if there are any outages or who I can contact to get help to fix. Thanks

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

    @PeterClaydon We can understand how inconvenient this must be Peter. When we check the postcodes for the Bristol and Paddington stations, we can see the network is busy in those areas, so this would be why the data is running slower than usual. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • SwanChaiBaldwin Swan Chai Baldwin (@SwanChaiBaldwin) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks for your speedy reply. Tried… didn’t fix. Any other ideas please?

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @kelly_tengi Heya, hmm is that just indoors and is the good signal showing from Giffgaff 3G or 4G? If your signal's OK with us outdoors, I'd say it may be because we don't support the 800MHz frequency which can provide better signal indoors, where other providers may do 1/3

  • Marg__Anne Marg 📚 (@Marg__Anne) reported

    @CammyB21338686 @MartinSLewis I’m on giffgaff £6 a month for 1 MB of data & unlimited calls & texts too. Martin Lewis never tells people the really cheap offers only certain ones though. You can also get similar deals for £5 a month too

  • G4T81 G4T (@G4T81) reported

    @giffgaff Still don't help tho does it when you haven't got a number to call in an emergency. Should at least have that

  • kelly_tengi Kelly (@kelly_tengi) reported

    @Plusnet lol. An sms I sent this morning was stuck due to signal issues and was just sent when I flipped to Giffgaff :/ It's that bad!

  • Tedds04 Tedds04 🇬🇧 (@Tedds04) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff That’s awful

  • kelly_tengi Kelly (@kelly_tengi) reported

    @Plusnet Yeah that's indoors, ground floor. This morning a call went straight to voicemail when I was in the bedroom, 1st floor, so no signal at all at times. If I disable the EE sim, I'm getting 4G+ full reception on Giffgaff. Reception is better on the street, but not great.
