  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

  • ScooterRiderFMX 🏳️‍🌈 #ImMeWhoAreYou 🏳️‍🌈 (@ScooterRiderFMX) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  • e_gran Lynda D💙 (@e_gran) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @RachelOrr I think you can just get a phone…it doesn’t have to have a giffgaff SIM (but check on that). However, GG is so cheap and easy and you can change plans or cancel with no contract. We have both been with them for years and years.

  • SixCylinderDean Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  • mikeyoungUK Cllr Mike Young (@mikeyoungUK) reported from Elwick, England

    @giffgaff I got a payg sim for my spare phone yesterday and spent 30 quid on credit so I can use it as a data tethering device for my laptop at home. Live in a rural area so no fibre broadband option. Sadly, there is zero 4G signal. I thought all networks had this sorted?!

  • nathanlawsn Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

  • 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 Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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.

  • GosforthHotel The Gosforth Hotel (@GosforthHotel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • LeeAaronP Lee Aaron (@LeeAaronP) reported

    I'm not going to go into other benefits, or customer service quality, but the other thing to consider is what network these smaller companies use.. ID use the Three network, Tesco, Sky, Virgin and GiffGaff use the O2 network. EE use their own, and Vodafone/O2 share masts...

  • LeaKent Leanne Kent (@LeaKent) reported

    @giffgaff I can't use this link...I am not a customer so have no log in details. Amy way I can actually 'talk' to someone regarding this?

  • Gregorinski Greg (@Gregorinski) reported

    @giffgaff can you offer me any help. Didn't use my mob for a little bit so is has been unregistered 😭 it's my cool number can I get it back anyway.

  • Nat3006 Nat Cowan (@Nat3006) reported

    @giffgaff I can't seem to get any signal at my workplace

  • chloe_roberts0n Chloe (@chloe_roberts0n) reported

    Does anyone else use giffgaff and find them slow? Moved to them last week and my data speed is diabolical

  • elottie0308 ラウラ (@elottie0308) reported

    @giffgaff hey I'm getting really bad wifi signal like it says 3 bars but I can't do anything on it, been like it since yesterday morning. Is there an issue?
