    Hey @Ofcom we have been having issues with our mobile number that’s with @giffgaff no calls/texts from EE are coming through! (pretty basic part of service) Reported to @giffgaff beginning of August - still not resolved. (Suspect it’s been going on for much longer) can you help?

    @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.

    @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)

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

    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.

    @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica Virgin Media are 💯 with prompt online support. Always have been. I'm not sure any of the others will reply, at all...

    @EE lol. Really? Twice you bricked my phone when overseas even though I bought roaming because you didn’t like my legacy contract. A GiffGaff SIM worked fine and the speed and lack of hassle with which you refunded the roaming charges was v suspicious. I would never trust you again.

  • singhmillen
    Millen (@singhmillen) reported

    @giffgaff network 4-5g issues not working at all or at very very slow speeds in derry. Any reason or when it will be fixed

    Richard Varney (@silvercupra) reported

    @JP_Galea @O2 Yes! As of yesterday when I loaded the o2 app I had to go through the the link to create a virginmedia account and link my o2 at this point it failed! To link not happy if #o2 don't fix this I will be leaving I may as well be with giffgaff at least I could view my account

    KipTea (@Kipteaofficial) reported

    Due to me forgetting cause of a lot of **** in my life, along with @giffgaff taking too much of my money at once, I have no internet for now. So no streams and uploads will be difficult to do this month, but gonna still be creative in the background

  • SugrPuft

    @AbsoluteLeaNot @thecapitalistw Literally, joined Giffgaff to save £2/month, big error. Voxis signal is goated, just ordered an ESim.

    Ah apparently @giffgaff no longer offer free EU Roaming the greedy *****. Well I needed a reason to finally switch good job you lost a customer over £8. Pricks.

  • messrsmooney
    MJS (@messrsmooney) reported

    @_msec_ @giffgaff I switched from them precisely because of their poor EU roaming limits. Went to @iD_Mobile_UK and have never looked back.

    Bangkok Butcher (@Bangkok_Butcher) reported

    @Ajarncom I only have to call the UK from time to time. Best option I found was to order a Giffgaff SIM (or esim), stick a fiver in it and just top up when required. It usually connects to the AIS network here so calls etc all good. Serves 2 purposes with being able to receive UK SMS also
