    @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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MeInSunderland #ImMe | #SAFC | 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@MeInSunderland) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

  • jodieforeman jodiex (@jodieforeman) reported from Redcar, England

    OH MY ******* GOD HOW CAN @giffgaff SEND ME THE WRONG SIM CARD TWICE YOU ******* STUPID ***** ABOUT TO ACTUALLY COMMIT A CRIME IM THAT MAD

    @ImperioBellaL Hi Rebecca. We have checked this and can see that there is still a problem with the mast in your area and unfortunately there's no update on when this will be resolved yet. We're so sorry, our engineers are working on getting this sorted out as soon as possible. - giffgaff Emer.

  • fluoresenz 🎹 Franz Schubert (@fluoresenz) reported

    I am in the process of terminating my domestic ISP contract early on the grounds of unreliability and continuously slow speeds. I've returned to mobile broadband. Get a phone that can work as a wi-fi hotspot or a cheap mobile router, plus a SIM from Smarty or Giffgaff.

  • dannybe14190165 dannybell (@dannybe14190165) reported

    @giffgaff brought a refurbished phone 2 days ago it’s arrived but locked to another network so I can’t use it with my gift gaff sim !!! Can’t get through to anyone what a disgrace Reallt unhappy

  • paulgardner303 Paul Gardner🌻🌍☀️🌈 #BLM (@paulgardner303) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Yes, it’s confirmed that there is a mast fault. Data is still down, voice and SMS are intermittent. It was annoying last night as I couldn’t access a particular account because I needed a code texted to me for security, as is common these days.

  • fluoresenz 🎹 Franz Schubert (@fluoresenz) reported

    Smarty is Three 3G and 4G, owned by the same company. The top speed I've had so far is over 38 Mb/s. It's usually slower in the daytime. Recently, I had 9 Mb/s but last night I had over 30 Mb/s. Giffgaff is less cheap and uses the O2 network. I've been with them since 2014.

  • LordJimmy84 Jimmy (@LordJimmy84) reported

    @giffgaff both my and my wife's phones are showing us no network signal and it says emergency calls only is something wrong with the network?

  • rp4ei393 Rach (@rp4ei393) reported from Stirling, Scotland
