    @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.

  • DrJennyVaughan jenny vaughan (@DrJennyVaughan) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @giffgaff sort out your ageist “customer care” approach & call & help my 77 year old mum. You don’t even help me to help her you just send us a barrage of data red tape we can’t deal with. This is how elderly people are marginalised by #giffgaff they just won’t make that call.

  • Love_SE4 @Love_SE4💙 (@Love_SE4) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Do you know what forget I even asked I'm going into town to get a SIM from a phone shop. At least if it goes wrong there are people to help. You lot are useless you don't need my money anymore. You owe me but I doubt very much I will get anything back

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

  • TheMcVariations 𝙳𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚌𝙽𝚎𝚒𝚕 (@TheMcVariations) reported

    @jadedavison33 @giffgaff Website or server issue!

  • manlikemart Man like clart (@manlikemart) reported

    @giffgaff @UswitchUK How on earth can you have won an award, your internet and phone signal is absolutely diabolical. The worse thing i ever did was switch from O2 to your network.

  • OllyFT Oliver Fytche-Taylor (@OllyFT) reported

    Leaving @iD_Mobile_UK after many years due to the terrible Cust service...simply trying to upgrade but some glitch has prevented doing it online. 2 x online chat attempts, wasted 2hrs+ trying to resolve Promised 2 call backs, none received. Had enough, off to @O2 or @giffgaff

  • greenyenergy Green 🧩🟢🟩 (@greenyenergy) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I inserted a new SIM as I want to do a SIM swap but it shows no service, I activated it with the code but it still shows no service? Bit hesitant to do the SIM swap now.

  • em_doapsi Diary of a Painfully Shy Introvert Blog (@em_doapsi) reported

    The one day I need to be able to make outgoing calls my phone isn’t connecting… anyone else on @giffgaff or @o2networks having this issue?

  • TheMcVariations 𝙳𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚌𝙽𝚎𝚒𝚕 (@TheMcVariations) reported

    @giffgaff Hi - done all that, same issue. Have always used Safari on iOS and OSX, never a problem until now…any recent issues?

  • MrVRedheart Vincentius Redheart (@MrVRedheart) reported

    @LittleRed_x It is definitely better than being tied down to a contract, I've switched to Giffgaff a few years ago and feel much freer. Granted; I'm paying anywhere between £10 to £20 a month and it's still technically pay as you go, but you're not paying more for when you need credit.

  • samwich2 Sam I (@samwich2) reported

    @giffgaff Ah, I can't send a DM as twitter want me to re-verify my account by sending me a text and I have no signal 😭. I have been at 3 different postcodes over the day and all have had no signal.

  • manlikemart Man like clart (@manlikemart) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff @UswitchUK Yeah i fell for that line, but its slowed down by 20%. I was with O2 for 10 years and had no issues, now i am on Giff Gaff i have to go outside to get a signal. Also read some of the reviews about the internet. It's so so poor, almost laughable.
