    @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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • RonaldJ61016789 Quintessential Englishman (@RonaldJ61016789) reported

    @Lordgreyofponty I know the feeling only too well. Have had a wind-up day today myself thru the GIFFGAFF Networks' abominal problem-solving that they laughingly call "Support". I am quite notorious for throwing mobile-phones at walls too! - 6 to date plus one tablet.

    @violinegsbrt If you do have any trouble with this after 30 minutes then let us know, and we'll assist you further. In regard to your data- it is quite a short amount of time for that much data to be consumed but some Apps do use more data than others. - giffgaff Tasbiya
