  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    Hey @giffgaff #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract Just sayin.

  • 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

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

    @giffgaff lost my 4g and can’t send or receive calls Sent you message with no reply Can anyone at Giff Gaff help....

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

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    Time to move away from @giffgaff as their service is just too poor. At home signal dips in and out at random. In Plymouth, in several places my phone shows connectivity, but I have none

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    I live in a rural location and my phone is my emergency backup, should my broadband connection die. @giffgaff has proven to be unreliable too many times now. Where I live I have to choose between EE, Vodafone and O2 (which Giff Gaff runs on)

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @KarlOnSea @giffgaff Yes, they do, but they can't simply shrug their shoulders and pretend it's just an O2 problem.

  • CatrionaRober13 Catriona Robertson (@CatrionaRober13) reported

    @BBCCiN I’m desperate to donate to the Drumathon and enter the prize draw for the Camper but neither my BT or Giffgaff phones with no restrictions and both with more than enough credit will allow me to do so. Very disappointed. BT says it’s an issue at your end.

  • Chrisnicsss Christopher (@Chrisnicsss) reported

    @giffgaff looking to join giffgaff do I need to tell my old network I wish to leave or do I just request a pac code?

  • DL_BSL Drew Ledson (@DL_BSL) reported

    @O2 Tried the above. I think it's just poor network coverage. Looked at Giffgaff tonight. They piggy back your network offering 5g when you don't?

  • tompeach90 Thomas Bolt (@tompeach90) reported

    @WobbleBoxers @TrumaUK @giffgaff Thanks, I'm thinking that the battery is knackered then, as used caravan last weekend and was sitting at 13.6v when we left it at storage, it's now down to 11.5v.

  • ProfKurtMills Kurt Mills (@ProfKurtMills) reported

    @giffgaff My wife’s recurring goodybag failed. Error message says bank declined payment, but bank confirms card is fine and did not decline. Not possible to call (very bad customer service) and agent response takes 24hrs. Meanwhile, my wife cannot use her phone.

  • GodsofYfirheim Amber 🐀 (@GodsofYfirheim) reported

    I don't believe there's much more obnoxious than a giffgaff ad. Every time they come on I turn my volume down, not just because I hate it but because it is louder than anything else I'm listening to. ow, my ears...

  • Yousif69397374 Yousif (@Yousif69397374) reported

    I feel angry from @giffgaff. I do not receive adequate Internet. The fact I cannot receive any Internet some of the times. I complained about it and the giffgaff told me one of their transmitters broke down. I must compensate because this is not my problem. My name is hussa50155
