Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Birtley and nearby locations:

  • TyneTom Tom Bailey (@TyneTom) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • LeslieBrown953 Leslie Brown 🐝💛🖤💛🖤💛🐝 (@LeslieBrown953) reported from Hebburn, England

    @giffgaff Is there an problem with the network with sending and receiving texts messages. Both my wife and I are getting undelivered, each time when we sending texts over the last week. Little annoying to say the least.

  • 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?

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

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

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Still no joy with my phone, my days are numbered now with @giffgaff after many years loyal support #no4g

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • 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.

    @jasebyjason If it's the O2 network you are after, giffgaff is pretty good and runs on O2, as they are month-to-month so no contract nonsense

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @lucy_zepeda @giffgaff For the last few days there's been a problem with the last version of the app where the homepage didn't show your goodybag or credit. To cure the problem uninstall the app then download and install the new version.

  • jamesivens James Ivens (@jamesivens) reported

    @AskKlarna Hello your service on Giffgaff has been stuck on the spinning wheel of death for half an hour despite several retries. My phone is not working so I can't call or get the SMS code to log into your site for chat. No one is responding to my DMs. Please can you reply.

  • carles_pinux Carles Pina (@carles_pinux) reported

    @oyinkan_ @giffgaff @giffgaff : I cannot login to any account (tried with the app and two browsers, incognito mode, etc.). Error on the browser: "Oops. Sorry, something went wrong on our side. Try again in a few minutes" (for more than 10-15 minutes)

  • soosoosieque Susan (@soosoosieque) reported

    @giffgaff is there a service outage just now?

  • AdrianKeithBrya Sir Adrian Keith Bryan (@AdrianKeithBrya) reported

    @giffgaff you data network in Llanelli is pathetic - it'd be quicker over a 56k dial-up modem!

  • Freemasonsnakes John (@Freemasonsnakes) reported

    @giffgaff Stay away! You can't cancel as nobody to call! No customer service 🙉
