  @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

  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 @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)

  @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.

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

• 
  Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported 39 minutes ago 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.

  @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.

• 
  Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported 45 minutes ago 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.

  The Gosforth Hotel (@GosforthHotel) reported 49 minutes ago 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?

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

  Why is @SamsungMobile continuing the roll out of ONE UI 7 when it's known to effectively brick phones by breaking esims? While we're at it why tf does @giffgaff require sms verification to replace broken esims THAT CANT RECIEVE SMS

  @dbcxptures Been with Giffgaff for ever. Never had an issue. Never had a price increase either.

• 
  Snake Konginchrist (@SnakeKongin) reported 8 minutes ago

  giffgaff just dropped the "we're disconnecting your service" email on me. Usage pattern suggests long-term use outside the UK → instant ban. No appeal. No proper refund process mentioned. Just "final position." Really makes you feel valued as a customer.

  Barry (@Gowithbazza1) reported 9 minutes ago

  @giffgaff Is that every day the mast is down or having issues because this seems to happen quite often 🤔

  iovz (@iovz_null) reported 10 minutes ago

  @giffgaff Absolute scam company. DO NOT use giffgaff. They just mass-banned tens of thousands of overseas accounts (especially Chinese users) with zero warning. Long-term roaming? Suddenly “against terms”. Account terminated. Remaining balance? Gone. Referral rewards? Stolen. Customer service just copy-pastes the same ****** clause and tells you to **** off. These greedy parasites milked people for years with cheap UK numbers, then when it suited them they flipped the table, locked everyone out and kept the money. No refunds. No negotiation. Just pure theft dressed up as “policy”. giffgaff is not a mobile network. It’s a blackhole for your money. Once they decide you’re no longer profitable or convenient, they will destroy your number and pocket every last cent you prepaid. Stay ******** away. There are better options that don’t rob you the moment you stop being useful to them. Never trust this company. Never give them a single pound.

  @giffgaff @Bozibozai Hello, can my number +44 75 2504 8214 be restored? I’m a loyal customer and haven’t received the confirmation email like my friends. Please reactivate it as soon as possible. Thank you! @giffgaff

  @ajzxne Outsourced still means they have to be paid for. We do not know what the arrangement O2 has with Giffgaff for renting network capacity but there are probably options which can be added and removed. Different virtual operators might choose different options.
