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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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 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.

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

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

  • 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.

    @colin_maddocks @tower_cell @jadesharp1992 Eeeek, in my experience CTIL has never worked at and around Wivelsfield station on either of my phones, on neither Vodafone nor giffgaff.

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @dmcnally Hi David. This would be the manufacturer of the SIM card. Don't worry, we're a UK network, so you will be able to use your SIM card in the UK. - giffgaff Emer.

  • scotmacca scot mcgroarty (@scotmacca) reported

    @giffgaff hi I never realised I had 2 open accounts and ive just topped up the wrong account to which I no longer have the sim is there any way of transferring it. I've tried to ask this through he app but there's no one to speak to and no option to type this in

  • gbtully Glenn Tully (@gbtully) reported from Melksham, England

    @just_j0 What network is she with Jo? I had to move from EE to GiffGaff. Although I'm nowhere near Huddersfield. But I've had many friends have to switch from EE. GiffGaff use 02 so anyone offering good O2 rates.

  • graceeeekay Grace Kay (@graceeeekay) reported

    @giffgaff hi I just topped up £10 voucher to get a goody bag and it has instantly taken 1p off my credit so I am unable to purchase one! My phones on WiFi aswell so don’t understand why this has happened can you please help me

  • mumsy_mary Mary Rees (@mumsy_mary) reported

    @tescomobile I’m astonished to hear this. Maybe because you can’t get people up and running to test the network/service?!? Wasted hours trying to get our accounts. Gave up and now happy with Giffgaff.

  • bubblekittea ༓☽ Leona ☾༓･ (@bubblekittea) reported

    @giffgaff forgetting to renew your card details so your regular goodybag doesn't recur, and you end up using all your credit in one day because you didn't realise is the worst feeling :(

  • norules21 M (@norules21) reported

    @giffgaff I have already left a comment but the issue I have is Iv got the second payment in my account I can see it on my balance I just want it back on my bank account which is strange how there’s no way how to.
