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

    @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.

    @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?!

    @giffgaff It seems that recurring top up for the £6 goody bag failed for some reason. This happened to us before. If we are still prepared to pay for a monthly goody bag why end the service?

    @leezo180 If the phone is unlocked, our SIMs will work in it Lee. If you find it is still linked to Three, you can contact them to have it unlatched from their network. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @giffgaff Used to be good but it’s going down hill. They say it community driven but the plans are terrible . Thinking of moving to an other provider .

  • bcolinevans Colin Evans (@bcolinevans) reported

    @giffgaff Sacked giffgaff, response to problems is non existent, certainly won’t recommend.

  • cherwilsonx c h e r y l (@cherwilsonx) reported

    Day 4 with no network coverage. Apparently there isn’t a problem in the area and no one can tell me why it’s not working. Giffgaff are guff #giffgaff

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

    @Laica23 You shouldn't face any issues with activating a new SIM on a new account. If it's saying the membername is no longer available, it may be that you've successfully set the account up. Please check your emails for this and the same payment method can be used. - giffgaff Jeanette

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

    @Laica23 You can use a laptop, phone, tablet etc. if you wish when activating a new SIM. Hopefully you're able to get the payment unblocked and able to process your new activation with no further issues once completed. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • LiamFlow they call me crumbs 🌻 (@LiamFlow) reported

    @oldguy537 @PhilCygnus I had the same problem with a UK provider GiffGaff when I was visiting that miserable country. Even had proof I cancelled the account. Still trying to charge me…. UK is a country where the consumer has no rights! Won’t be going there again!
