Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Elwick and nearby locations:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • jodieforeman jodiex (@jodieforeman) reported from Redcar, 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?!

  • DrAaronBraddy Dr Aaron Braddy-Green (@DrAaronBraddy) reported from Enfield Lock, England

    @PhilSheaS @lungsatwork I got a crappy phone with a £5 a month GiffGaff sim for a job I recently did with non-resident on call...100% worth it - switched off when not at work, never had to give randoms at other hosps my personal No & no dodgy calls OOH or when not at work! Definitely do this @PhilSheaS

  • thunderratz ThunderRatz (@thunderratz) reported

    My mum is having so much fun with gifs. She was calling them giffgaffs and telling me how one of her friends doesn't know how to use them but Giffgaff is a mobile service provider. Eventually, I understood what she was on about. I rarely use gifs. I use words. Bloody old people!

  • D0dgyDav0 Iain Davenport (@D0dgyDav0) reported

    @JasonGood @Lucy_cat_lady Giffgaff is a virtual provider run by o2 but cheaper because there isn’t anyone to contact if you have a problem. There’s a members forum for support. Tesco mobile is also on o2. Just different platforms to appeal to different types of customers.

  • BoundGirlXO Birthday 21st April 🎂 BoundGirlXO ✌️ (@BoundGirlXO) reported

    @giffgaff is there something wrong? Literally alllll day today crap connection via data super slow speeds.

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

    @blakeg38171204 That's not right. Have you reached out to our agents about your service issue? - giffgaff Jeanette

  • syabanokurusimi 📚娑婆苦🎻 (@syabanokurusimi) reported

    Just got out and giffgaff did not connect at all it’s on 4G in the lift which it always shows unconnected so I don’t think it can even search it’s network

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff 2/ bothering to read what was explained in the previous ticket response & then waiting 24hrs again. If this is not resolved by tomorrow, I will probably be taking my business to another provider with a real tech support system.

    "SIM swap is not possible between 9:30 PM and 4:30 AM" what the actual **** @giffgaff Do you have to turn off the server so the hamster running in a wheel powering it can get a drink of water or something
