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

  • 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 🤬😤

  • 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.

  • Benjakev jason k (@Benjakev) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @PoliceConsumer @giffgaff Been on giffgaff since they launched, cheapest and most reliable network I’ve ever used

  • 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)

  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • Loucathwil ☃️🎄🦌loucathwil🧵✂️🧸 (@Loucathwil) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

  • hyrume1 (high-room) (@hyrume1) reported from Hounslow, England

    @giffgaff your mobile services are ****

  • Ryanclairmont 🅡🅨🅐🅝 (@Ryanclairmont) reported from Ilford, England

  • LashanStuff Lashan (@LashanStuff) reported from Camberwell, England

    @giffgaff There wasn't, the network just slows down to a crawl/stops functioning from congestion levels that are literally a daily occurrence there

  • catskidschaos Karen Reekie (@catskidschaos) reported from Richmond, England

    If you have to clear your cache and log out then log back in but you can’t click on an e mail link and have to go via a browser to access a service on a website it’s a bit crap. Looks at @giffgaff and mutters about giving up and not bothering to continue with the thing I need...

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

  • ChrisJo24895371 Chris Jones (@ChrisJo24895371) reported

    @JohnHurst @giffgaff Hi John, I've not been receiving any Ping ID SMSs for last few days from various companies to then be able to log in. Giff gaff have been useless in sorting it. But I've seen a number of people having similar issues. Is this similar to issue you having?

  • clcfr_ Cal 🌻 (@clcfr_) reported

    @giffgaff okay i have a problem is anyone else receiving no calls but just voicemail? or is my giffgaff sim card just doesn’t want to work lol

  • graceybabe1 Gwen Davison (@graceybabe1) reported

    @giffgaff can you help? My son is not receiving texts off some people, including me and I'm also with Giffgaff. We have tried doing a manual roam but that didn't work

  • sushant083 sushant gaonkar (@sushant083) reported

    @giffgaff trying to activate my new sim which has been quite stressful. Tried reaching out through help chat but no one seems to help.

  • Akhlaq1386 Akhlaq Hanif (@Akhlaq1386) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I've been experiencing issues with calls and 4G for the last 24 hours (just realised it but could be more than that. Working with a quick restart) any issues I should know about?

  • NickyLovell_17 Nicholas Lovell (@NickyLovell_17) reported

    @giffgaff what's with your network. Past month or so it's been slow. Takes ages to even watch a YouTube video. Horrible. Might switch

  • jimijames63 Jimi James (@jimijames63) reported

    @giffgaff your service has either been completely down or at best sporadic today in MK160EN. Can't even open your fault reporting service. Your site is providing false information by saying there is no fault in service. It is down and your lack of options sucks!

  • libbysmenu ya trick ya (@libbysmenu) reported

    @quokkawa YEAH??🤨🤨YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH @giffgaff
