  • 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.

    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?!

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

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

    @richie_rich77 You might want to send a text with the number of the call to 7726 (SPAM) free so your network (giffgaff I believe?) can look into it

  • BurlingMumford Daniel Burling Mumford (@BurlingMumford) reported

    @TalkTalk According to customer support, there is an issue with Openreach in the South area, engineers have been working on it for a few hours...thank God for my giffgaff 4G wifi hotspot or I'd have not got any work done.

  • QasimU94 QasimU94 (@QasimU94) reported

    @giffgaff my service keeps cutting out when at home and it’s becoming difficult to have decent reception whilst working.

  • OTBLENKIN Dawn Blenkin (@OTBLENKIN) reported

    @giffgaff With the service I’m currently receiving over a basic sim swap you would not get my vote!

  • scouselesley Lesley McGlynn (@scouselesley) reported

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

    @ApolloBelladona We're very sorry to hear this. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

  • PeterMcCormick4 Peter (@PeterMcCormick4) reported

    @LobbyLC @EE Fact check • Giffgaff is not run by o2, it’s run by Gifgaff and they use o2 for their mobile signal • giffgaff,Tesco, sky & o2 all use the same signal so one will not be better than the other • o2 signal in the majority of the uk is very poor compared to EE • EE is better
