    @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.

    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?!

  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • buildknuckle That Keepsake Clover...🍀🐈🌊 (@buildknuckle) reported

    @meizhan_green @thaliarchus I'm on a pay monthly sim at the moment and I actually really need to switch because the service I get is pretty dire. I know that GiffGaff have frozen their prices for 2022 to be the same as their 2021 rates which is pretty neat, though they may not be the best option for you.

  • BhomSin33336685 Johnathon Mckay (@BhomSin33336685) reported

    @giffgaff Bad decisions make good stories.

  • Whoisblaxx WIB (@Whoisblaxx) reported

    @O2 @giffgaff what’s the crack with the network being down in Devizes, Wiltshire. Says a mast problem but it’s been like this since lunch time. Phone is essentially useless as we do not have Wi-Fi in our location, or a landline so rely heavily on the o2/giffgaff. Time scale???

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff Well you 5G checker says 5G not available for my postcode but the SIM is reporting 5G from the network so either 02s network is lying or your checker is lying.

  • MsDiamondPearl Diamond Pearl (@MsDiamondPearl) reported

    @giffgaff I’m not sure how a postcode would help when it’s pretty much everywhere I go?

  • WeeklyGripe 🇺🇦🇬🇧 The Weekly Gripe 🇬🇧🇺🇦 (@WeeklyGripe) reported

    @gpaddon83 @giffgaff Did you get your issue resolved Graham? I'm deeply concerned about the support system. The last agent didn't appear to be aware of the history of the support ticket.

  • Siantonisha Sian (@Siantonisha) reported

    @giffgaff anyone else’s 4G been piss poor lately. Just got an iPhone 13 and moved my sim to allow 5G and it won’t get that but it barely gets 4G anywhere. Might be time to move phone company

  • albiondumsday Andrew Denny (@albiondumsday) reported

    @oGototheS @TheBossnME I hope you don't hate me for saying this, but I really recommend @giffgaff which does monthly pay as you go as cheap as a contract, or cheaper. It uses the O2 network, and I switched to it when I heard the police use it too (they will look for the best coverage)

  • naja_return naja_return (@naja_return) reported

    @giffgaff why do giffgaff not allow me to login to website when I am abroad? Isn't that a bit lazy on securing your site? I have to VPN back to UK in order to login to my giffgaff account. very annoying.

  • KnottedRaider Andrew Powell (@KnottedRaider) reported

    @giffgaff Are there issues with the network in Great Malvern (WR14) Mother is in a right faff giving me earache, Can't make calls etc 😝
