  • 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.

  • GosforthHotel The Gosforth Hotel (@GosforthHotel) reported from Newcastle upon Tyne, England

    . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  • 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

  • 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.

  • DaveSThompson David Thompson (@DaveSThompson) reported from Corbridge, England

    Hello, you lovely @giffgaff people. I know I'm not alone in not having received the #emergencyalert message on my phone, however my wife next to me did on her Giffgaff Android mobile; presumably the signal is from the same mast? It's probably a Gov't ****-up as usual... Hey ho.

  • MXOFO Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

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

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

  • STattisconie Silvio Tattisconie ©💎 (@STattisconie) reported

    @Ne3Steve Yes, the most I've used is 5gig when we had a break down your way but everyone was tethered onto my phone as they couldn't get data. Giffgaff don't give as much data but you can buy new phones from them that are cheaper than airtime providers.

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

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

  • ApolloBelladona ☆ Apollo ★ (@ApolloBelladona) reported

    I've always enjoyed being with @giffgaff, but your signal of late is atrocious. Every other time I take out one of my phones it's on no service no matter where I am. What has happened in the last few months that has made your service deteriorate? 😐 #Giffgaff #PoorService

  • TexyAzure Sophs (@TexyAzure) reported

    Hello @giffgaff can you please help me?

  • Rustycarp Russell Huke (@Rustycarp) reported

    @tescomobile 3 mates sitting together at lunch. 1 on direct 02,4G good, 1 on 02 giffgaff good 1 on 02 Tesco No service what the heck

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported

    @EE Can’t be worse than @giffgaff running on O2 network, can’t even use my@phone at home anymore, constantly no service missed calls and texts, from hospital due to them, need to switch cos they won’t listen .

  • CJWass Chris Wass (@CJWass) reported

    @giffgaff do you support or plan to support esim?

  • nixjd njd (@nixjd) reported from Loughborough, England

    @giffgaff shocking customer service my SIM card has been hacked and taken over, my online banking been rinsed. I am not able to speak to anyone, they have no customer service number. I cannot log in because they have reset my password and they won’t cancel my sim. Shocking ! 😡

  • TexyAzure Sophs (@TexyAzure) reported

    @giffgaff We topped our sim up with a £15 goodybag on Wednesday and had no issues but as of yesterday I can’t call out or receive incoming calls and the same with text messages? The package is with free calls and texts so I’m not sure what’s going wrong?

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported
