  • 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.

    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.

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • jebac_to_ Ardnaskela ***** *** (@jebac_to_) reported

    I hate giffgaff. Data? Yeah 15GB that will not work. Service? U can be in a big city and u won't be able to send a simple text. **** u

  • MuppetRider Smackie (@MuppetRider) reported

    @ThreeUK Hi Three, I was disappointed in the coverage in Prague on my recent trip. I’m being charged £2 a day for roaming and I had E service most of the time. My partner on Giffgaff doesn’t pay a daily fee and had 4G everywhere.

  • Smoken_Mirrors Jill Chambers (@Smoken_Mirrors) reported

    Hey @giffgaff Can you have a word with @O2 about their rapidly worsening coverage please? Ran a Twitter search on 'O2 coverage' and it's carnage out here. Even city centres and heavily populated areas. No point in lovely goodybag deals with service this bad. 🙁

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

    @AliJaneMoore As we are an online network, there is no number to ring. However, please send us a DM, so we can look into this for you. - giffgaff Megan

  • Smoken_Mirrors Jill Chambers (@Smoken_Mirrors) reported

    @o_burbidge @Plusnet @O2 Good luck! Hope you're not in the west end as I'm on Giffgaff which uses the O2 network and it's been consistently abysmal on three brand new handsets (Cowgate and now the A1 are appalling too.)

  • WooTube Andy Wootton (@WooTube) reported

    @mckay1402 @WasOnceLoved @O2 giffgaff is O2 without the 'service', which I find much better.

  • erinnetworkk erin / mars (@erinnetworkk) reported

    I GOT WIFI ON THE BUS **** GIFFGAFF

  • LBloomy Laura Bloomfield (@LBloomy) reported

    @giffgaff the signal in Brighton city centre has been terrible for months! When’s this likely to be fixed?
