  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • fchaps68 Fiona Chapman**••..** (@fchaps68) reported from Brentwood, England

    @SophieEB @giffgaff @ThreeUK Giffgaff is great and when u go abroad I just buy a local sim and you still use your UK number on wats app. So much cheaper!Obviously only works if your phone is not locked to a particular network tho! X

  • richardlloydact Richard Anthony Lloyd (@richardlloydact) reported from Dartford, England

    @giffgaff have just switched to you, no link to keepnold number sent, tried to log into an agent and got access denied. Away from home and no one can get in touch. Please help ASAP!

  • staylowkae baby wasteman. (@staylowkae) reported from London, England

  • Johnfamey John Amey (@Johnfamey) reported from Rayleigh, England

    .@giffgaff someone has my email address associated with their two mobile numbers with you in error so I’m receiving someone else’s correspondence. I have no mobile with you. You have no customer service number so this is the only way I can think to contact you.

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • JelllyBeaan Gezza (@JelllyBeaan) reported from Romford, England

    @giffgaff hi team is it possible to have some help in regards to my account?

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • Muvaharris meg (@Muvaharris) reported from London, England

    I have a very important call and giffgaff decide to go down now? Have no signal whatsoever! Always having problems! Absolute joke @giffgaff

  • AzukaFred Wang Lin (@AzukaFred) reported from Dartford, England

    Okay, so it’s not just O2. People on other networks are having issues too O2, Three, Vodafone, EE, Giffgaff with most the issues BT, Tesco Mobile & Virgin Media with a few

  • AkpaluGeorge George Akpalu (@AkpaluGeorge) reported from London, England

  • till_the_wheels 𝕵𝖚𝖌𝖘 (@till_the_wheels) reported from London, England

    @O2 @Joegreaney Hi I'd just like to add that this is a problem for everyone on 02 and giffgaff in that area and it's because a mast in hither green has been down for 2 years and these crooks hate you enough to ignore it.

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

  • richardlloydact Richard Anthony Lloyd (@richardlloydact) reported from Dartford, England

    @giffgaff Too late. As I work away I can’t afford to think I maybe won’t speak to my family when I need to. I am cancelling. If you could furnish me with your member service email please; I can’t seem to find that on your website. Thanks.

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

    @KerryScottMcNa1 Hi Kerry. This indicates that you need an eSIM, and we do not support eSIMs unfortunately - giffgaff Jade

  • UncleZebulon SiBr (@UncleZebulon) reported

    @giffgaff registered a new sim but was not given any option to set a password for the account. Wtf? Managed to reset the mystery password, changed the username but cannot log in with phone number, original user name or the new user name. Useless.

  • AmAProperJoke Paul Burke (@AmAProperJoke) reported

    @giffgaff Any chance of some help activating my new Sim card when I can't log in to Giffgaff for some unknown reason?!

  • AmAProperJoke Paul Burke (@AmAProperJoke) reported

    @giffgaff Hi Jade, I've been speaking to Giffgaff for 5 days and nobody can activate a sim card for me because I can't remember every single handset I've had for 7 years. Also, nobody can reset my login / password. It's a farce!

  • Austinwrk AuzK (@Austinwrk) reported
