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.

#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
-
Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, EnglandStill no joy with my phone, my days are numbered now with @giffgaff after many years loyal support #no4g
-
Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, EnglandMy @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.
-
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....
-
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.
-
Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, EnglandHey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.
-
#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
-
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)
-
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
-
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.
-
🏳️🌈 #ImMeWhoAreYou 🏳️🌈 (@ScooterRiderFMX) reported from Sunderland Bridge, EnglandData still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

.💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, EnglandHey @giffgaff #DontFundGBNews or i terminate my contract Just sayin.
-
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?
-
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.
Giffgaff Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ari 🦭 (@goodphealings) reported@elizaisonfire It was a promotion for Giffgaff. They did a campaign where you could hire 1 of 13 "tools" and if you used it in a video you would get free cell service for a year and a chance to win money. Anyone could enter. Dan choosing the gimp of all the tools was just... him being dinof.
-
Simon (@Simonli127) reported@giffgaff @EdisonChu10 You never clearly informed customers of any time limit, such as 14 or 30 days. This is misleading and feels like consumer fraud.
-
圆圆圆香芹 (@Mar_Aphrodite) reported@giffmana Received Final Response but my REFUND request was ignored. 14-day cooling-off ends in 3 days (2 Aug). Member 22521330. Urgent help needed! #giffgaff
-
Jason (@jasoneccles) reported@thomasforth I think they are, in a way. This year I made the mistake of moving from O2 to Lebara, because it was cheaper. The signal is terrible, and despite it being on the Vodafone network, I get a “less bars” than colleagues who are on Vodafone. It seems to me the MVNOs, like Lebara and GiffGaff, are ways of selling less bandwidth for cheaper money.
-
iovz (@iovz_null) reported@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.
-
Nathan Lubbock-Smith (@lubbocksmith) reported@giffgaff our network signal has deteriorated and can’t get signal or use 4g even though there is a little 4g. Can you help? I can’t see how to complain about network being down.
-
svengali (@_imey) reported@DanNeidle I've had the same SIM-only rolling monthly deal from Giffgaff for 10 years. I've always paid £10 for it. My £10 now gets me as much 5G as I've ever needed. I've never run out of data. I think this data reflects the British consumer's obsession with buying phones through contracts. Unless I've got this wrong, and this chart is showing data-only.
-
Ryan Sael (@RyanSael) reported@robj3d3 @ThreeUK I switched to giffgaff before left and just use payg without monthly plan, never had a problem since. maybe try order a new sim via ukpostbox then forward to your current address, that might help.
-
Leila - レイラ (@twistedhumanoid) reported@giffgaff I have done. The fact that your customer service takes so long in this day and age is actually an outrage. The last time I experienced customer service like this was in the early 2000s.

billy horan (@billyhoranuk) reported@AskKlarna @giffgaff Klarna approved, then an issue with giffgaff checks. Via the website chat with a klarna person the suggested option was to build up credit to solve this situation. Seems like a strange strategy…
