  • LeslieBrown953 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

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

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

  • JulieVintageTea 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....

  • 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.

  • 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

  • chrismayes .💙#FBPPR #FBPE You have no authority here johnson (@chrismayes) reported from Whitley Bay, England

    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 @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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • LewisB1gaming LewisB1 (@LewisB1gaming) reported

    @giffgaff seriously please fix your service. The signal is really unacceptable…

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

    @RobertHol6 Hi Robert. We're so sorry to hear that you're having problems. The SIM can take up to 24 hours to fully activate once you activate this on your account. We would recommend restarting your phone periodically during this time as this usually helps. - giffgaff Emer.

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

    @Frankie__A We have just spoken with our phone team who have advised that we're unable to cancel the order. The only thing you can do, is return the phone when it arrives and request a refund. You will then need to re order in the correct colour. - giffgaff Tasbiya

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

    @JrKmn We're very sorry to hear this, Dexter. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

  • AndrewShute2 Andy S (@AndrewShute2) reported

    @katelallyx Circumstances resulted in me using a Samsung , absolutely hate it, so thankfully back on my iPhone. If you’re happy with your current phone go contract free, @giffgaff are amazing they operate on the @O2 network, I pay £15 a month.

  • _Phoenix_D0wn_ Phoenix D0wn (@_Phoenix_D0wn_) reported

    The service on @giffgaff has been completely unusable for the past two weeks. Customer service has told me via DM the network runs slow for me because the data usage is high in my area. This is tinpot stuff! Taking mine and my 11 business partners contracts elsewhere tonight.

  • shirtytrish ShirtytrisH 🚖 *a typo in every tweet* 🙄 (@shirtytrish) reported

    @giffgaff hi! I ordered a sim, but cannot use it on my daughtwrs phone-it's locked to ee, so want to cancel. But as unused, i cannot login to cancel it, and still being charged.

  • mhbvickers Michael H Vickers (@mhbvickers) reported

    @alfielfctheone @FBorgal @PlasticPlanners Wish we had GiffGaff service provider in Canada. Amazing value for UK service.

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

    @axb_youtube Hi there. We're so sorry to hear that you're having problems. What happens whenever you try to log into your account? - giffgaff Emer.

  • GaslingSarah Sarah Marsden (@GaslingSarah) reported

    @giffgaff It would have been nice if this had been checked before the first reply that told me there was no problem…
