  • 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.

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

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

  • 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?!

  • 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.

  • RobDowson86 Rob Dowson (@RobDowson86) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    @giffgaff Hi I have two queries, basically my phone sale is not appearing in selling my phone and also my revised quote is £13.50 and stating there is white dots on the screen this wasn't a issue when I send my phone to yourselves.

    FFFS @giffgaff now you're **** website is not sending the 2 Factor Authentication codes which you forced users to enable but they cannot disable 😡🤬 Seriously patients close to expiring now with your antiquated crap support system & NO phone support number.

  • AWaters_1992 Alex Waters (@AWaters_1992) reported from Solihull, England

    @JackVTaylor More users using it slows it down maybe? Which is why giffgaff used to be good

  • scienceorgod SodoffBrexit (Knighthood pending) (@scienceorgod) reported

    @giffgaff Just swapped to @giffgaff At Wembley for the Papa Johns final. Almost no signal. Crap network!

  • RyanEva96184714 Ryan Evans (@RyanEva96184714) reported

    @giffgaff @UswitchUK how long are you expecting the website to be down for?

  • dave061001 Dave (@dave061001) reported

    @giffgaff Website/app not working?

  • darrenwaters Darren Waters (@darrenwaters) reported

    @NicholasGarnett @giffgaff Thanks. Think I worked out the issue. I have a work phone which also has my iCloud account. It was set to only receive iMessages through my Apple ID. But….when I reactivated iMessage with my new sim and ported number it activated the work phone number. Without my say so!

  • DylanTeague Dylan Teague (@DylanTeague) reported

    @giffgaff The card company did today. I have gone to your help page and attempted to get help but no response yet. I would prefer to speak to someone asap.

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    ******* Giffgaff website not taking my payment telling me it's my banks fault, so call bank it uses all the credit I had as GiffGaff charging me for the call despite the issue being caused by them & not my bank.

  • darrenwaters Darren Waters (@darrenwaters) reported

    Aaargh the dreaded problem of porting your phone number to a new SIM and carrier and iMessage no longer working properly. Any ideas at @giffgaff ??

  • feed_md FMD (@feed_md) reported

    @gm8arv @giffgaff data is data, gg won’t care.. I did roaming for 1-2 months and just used the data portion of my allowance, never made a call or sent a text.. so sure should work ok. ;)
