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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

    @giffgaff hey guys - I'm having issues in receiving calls both on 4g and 5g, signal cuts or call drops as soon as I answer. I'm on iPhone 13 pro.

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @sammy56373846 @GiftyAkuamoah1 @giffgaff Yes,once your old sim loses signal,insert your new one and restart your phone every 10 minutes or so until you have network coverage. Yes again,all transfer requests submitted before 5pm on Friday are carried out on Monday.
