  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JulieVintageTea Julie Clay (@JulieVintageTea) reported from Shiremoor, England

    Dear @giffgaff im really sorry but after several years with you I can no longer stand whatever is going in with the service......the WiFi is pants it eats my data and never works half the time and I don't feel it's value for money anymore best regards @denisdevlin1

  • apexsorca ORCA (@apexsorca) reported

    GiffGaff is literally the worst phone carrier.

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

    @BobFlem25914696 Hi Bob. It can take up to 24 hours from your port in day for your service to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot your phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

  • M_L_Shortall Maddy Taylor (@M_L_Shortall) reported

    @giffgaff hey guys I’m trying to ring an 0845 number but I get a message I’ve ran out of minutes (good at renewed a couple of days ago/unlimited mins). Can you help please?

  • sjebp St John's Church, N4 (@sjebp) reported

    @giffgaff You kindly sent us some SIM cards to give to homeless people who use our food bank. We're having a problem with a pin lock on one, but can't find a way to contact you about it. Can you help?

  • kiwi1236 Keiron Hayden (@kiwi1236) reported

    @giffgaff hi if I am switching network will I get some sort of refund based on my remaining days left until my number gets transferred?

  • Dosser62 Gerry McDermott (@Dosser62) reported

    @giffgaff When will your 5G network roll out in the ML2 postcode area. My SIM renewal is coming up and I am considering all options. Any advice appreciated.

  • elibaz95 eli (@elibaz95) reported

    @giffgaff awful company. Returned a phone to them it’s been over 2 weeks (the UK law for receiving a return and refunding) since they received it and no refund instead I’m told they are checking with their warehouse or whatever so can’t refund. Definitely avoid

  • timwhitlock 𝕋𝕚𝕞 𝕎 (@timwhitlock) reported

    Anyone else got No Service on GiffGaff/O2 in North London?

  • jamescummings James Cummings (@jamescummings) reported

    @miaridge Yeah, I'm terrible at switching anything. Any recommendations? GiffGaff uses O2 network so I'd have same network access (but slower I hear). Have virgin broadband so maybe they'll give me a deal.
