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

  • 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.

  • 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 No phone signal where you live? That sounds nice Actually

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

  • 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 @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.

  • cllrmattbryan Matt Bryan Upton (@cllrmattbryan) reported

    @TitsOut Just googled it and they use O2 as a carrier network. I'm on O2 and it's usually ok. When I was on GiffGaff though it was a different case, they also use O2. Might be down to them not prioritising the users in the same way?

  • adamebond Adam Bond (@adamebond) reported

    @giffgaff A new 5G mast has been put up quite close to me, but I can’t seem to connect to it. I’ve toggled 5G on in my service settings, but it’s still showing 4G at the top of my phone, and giving me really slow speeds. Any idea what’s going on?

  • seatzie Darren Seaton (@seatzie) reported

    @MelissaByJovi @giffgaff I had that problem with the first one a few years ago but the couple since have been in the 90s, I got one in May there that was 97%

  • Jasperwrites Jasper (@Jasperwrites) reported

    @giffgaff hello, have had no network signal on my phone since late last night, no idea why unfortunately. My wife also on Giffgaff but hers is working fine. Have tried everything from restarts to enabling SIM and disabling to removing sim and replacing. Any other ideas?

  • olivecat1890 olivecat (@olivecat1890) reported

    @giffgaff I tried a different debit card and it's gone through now, not sure what the issue is with the original card, but thanks for your prompt replies.

  • billyk_the BillyK: The Opinion (@billyk_the) reported

    @MrAndrewMore Ordered a new sim card from giffgaff for an emergency phone for a family member. 2 weeks ago. Giffgaff are usually brilliant. Postal workers strike. Posties are holding our lives to ransom.

  • roman_boro1 Gladson’s son (@roman_boro1) reported

    @giffgaff is there an issue with the network iv got no signal

  • itstidusbesaid It’s Tidus! (@itstidusbesaid) reported

    Finally experienced the shambles that is @O2 customer service. So sorry for leaving you @giffgaff , I’ll be back as soon as I can.

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff you really need to sort this crap with the network reporting 5G to the phone handset but no 5G actually being available so anything using data just hangs. As soon as force phone to 4G only it works instantly.
