  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • JelllyBeaan Gezza (@JelllyBeaan) reported from Romford, England

    @giffgaff hi team is it possible to have some help in regards to my account?

  • Loucathwil ☃️🎄🦌loucathwil🧵✂️🧸 (@Loucathwil) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

  • AzukaFred Wang Lin (@AzukaFred) reported from Dartford, England

    Okay, so it’s not just O2. People on other networks are having issues too O2, Three, Vodafone, EE, Giffgaff with most the issues BT, Tesco Mobile & Virgin Media with a few

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • BartBoski Bartek 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇵🇱 (@BartBoski) reported from Camberwell, England

    Hey @Ofcom we have been having issues with our mobile number that’s with @giffgaff no calls/texts from EE are coming through! (pretty basic part of service) Reported to @giffgaff beginning of August - still not resolved. (Suspect it’s been going on for much longer) can you help?

  • kiers__ Unotheactivist (@kiers__) reported from Islington, England

    @RafaFerdinand1 @MrSir____ @Sahveeyo @_euanito Sir you connected to GiffGaff so doh try that shit

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • sofiloco Sofi Summers (@sofiloco) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff hi Giff Gaff 👋🏼 my husband is having problems with his data - it’s not working at all. We’re in N1 London. Is it down?

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • fchaps68 Fiona Chapman**••..** (@fchaps68) reported from Brentwood, England

    @SophieEB @giffgaff @ThreeUK Giffgaff is great and when u go abroad I just buy a local sim and you still use your UK number on wats app. So much cheaper!Obviously only works if your phone is not locked to a particular network tho! X

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • Ryanclairmont 🅡🅨🅐🅝 (@Ryanclairmont) reported from Ilford, England

    Really not good enough, since Thursday got a goodybag sim for my daughter & it's still not working till now,you should haul all sales of sims till the issues are fix. #ofcom #cisas #ombudsmanservice #giffgaff

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

  • LashanStuff Lashan (@LashanStuff) reported from Camberwell, England

    @giffgaff There wasn't, the network just slows down to a crawl/stops functioning from congestion levels that are literally a daily occurrence there

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

    @A_D62 @ThreeUK @giffgaff It always used to be a hassle and sales teams would beat you down.

  • nrtinsyd Travelling (@nrtinsyd) reported

    @giffgaff Hey GiffGaff, I have 3 of your data SIMs and finding them virtually unusable due to appalling network coverage. One bar if lucky, and much of the day with zero data access. 02 network status showing problem with a mast but this has not changed for weeks. Suggestions?

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

    @Batmans_mummy Whenever you're asked for an incident number, you can select 'I don't have an incident number', and then 'Make a complaint' to continue. – giffgaff Ann 2/2

  • aliwiseman Alistair Wiseman (@aliwiseman) reported

    Giffgaff data seems to be down in Wolves. First time in about 6 years I've had an issue so can't really grumble

  • cloafdarling Sophie Poole (@cloafdarling) reported

    @giffgaff I've had issues with 4G for the last few days, done everything your website suggests but still dropping out. Any ideas??

  • alexbloor 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 (@alexbloor) reported

    Next issue with changing phones... I'd probably pick up a pixel 6 pro... And it's dual sim! Oh but wait, one has to be eSIM. Well I'm sure one of my 2 networks offers eSIM. GiffGaff... No. Three...... No. Genius.

  • sam34029538 BillPiff (@sam34029538) reported

    @giffgaff 1/2 oh no, you havnt got enough credit to make this call. im actually shocked you still have a company.ive been going back and forth with customer services on the website. asked for a refund cos it says ill used data just like the uk while being in ireland but its using roaming

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @sammy56373846 Yes you can,just keep using the Vodafone one until it loses it's network connection then swap over to your giffgaff one and restart your phone every 10 minutes or so until it's fully working.

  • BicycleBenUK BicycleBenUK 🚲🚶‍♂️| mastodon.online/@BicycleBen (@BicycleBenUK) reported

    Argh panic - @SMARTYMobileUK doesn't support premium rate numbers. No option to enable either. @giffgaff it is then. Daft restriction. #Eurovision

  • Batmans_mummy Mash (@Batmans_mummy) reported

    @giffgaff I have previously made a complain a few weeks ago but these sims from giffgaff with weird names keep coming. Me and my partner are both on a monthly contract with EE so we have never requested any of these sims.
