    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?

  • 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)

  • jetsettersw Alvin (@jetsettersw) reported from Lambeth, England

  • TheGaffaSM Prince Vegeta (@TheGaffaSM) reported from Merton, England

    Never GiffGaff💥

  • 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!

  • kiers__ Unotheactivist (@kiers__) reported from Islington, England

    @RafaFerdinand1 @MrSir____ @Sahveeyo @_euanito Sir you connected to GiffGaff so doh try that shit

  • 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

  • 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...

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

    @giffgaff your mobile services are ****

  • 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

  • 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?

  • jetsettersw Alvin (@jetsettersw) reported from Lambeth, England

    @giffgaff @dhlexpressuk You both have an absolute DOG SHIT of a service

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

    Really not good enough, since Thursday got a goodybag sim for my daughter & it's still not working till now,you should haul all sales of sims till the issues are fix. #ofcom #cisas #ombudsmanservice #giffgaff

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @linseygiles One of the quickest ways to get my back up is to be treated like this. Reasonable tests I have no issue with, but it's obvious that @giffgaff has no interest in anything other than twisting the truth

  • CraftyNigel Nigel Craft (@CraftyNigel) reported

    Been with @giffgaff nearly a month and still no signal and they still haven’t fixed the mast , would have stayed with @ThreeUK hope they are going to compensate for this dreadful service

  • Graham21 GT (@Graham21) reported

    @declanw @giffgaff Wow. That's impressive. They are on the O2 network (O2 owns them). The killer app for 5G is Fixed Wireless Access for homes.

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    with those, but the way @giffgaff treats people is simply atrocious! Don't EVER lie! Don't EVER blame the customer when it's patently obvious there's an issue with the mast. Don't ever do business with a company who treats you like this!

  • I_want_holidays Chris Mark (@I_want_holidays) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff BT and Talk Talk do this too with wired phone/internet. They also threaten to charge you if the 'fault is in your home'. You have to unscrew things on the wall and jump through hoops before deciding that it's the unplugged wire in the telephone exchange that's causing the problem

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @giffgaff No. Last time there was an error with the mast you lot tried blaming the handsets & insisted I do a SIM swap. A big part of the reason why I *will* leave your service is because of how awfully you handled the last outage & how you tried to blame me! You're a nasty company!

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

    @Annabel41298636 Hi Annabel. SIM activations can take up to 24 hours, so please allow this time frame. Should you have any issues after this time frame then please get back to us, and we'll investigate further. - giffgaff Tasbiya

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

    @WilliamNB We can appreciate how frustrating this must have been for you. We ask for you to complete a SIM swap to ensure there are no SIM issues. Did you manage to SIM swap? - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • Jemjemmyclaire Jemma (@Jemjemmyclaire) reported

    @giffgaff I've had no service for 2 days now.... 😪

  • WorthyOnTheWeb Claire Worthington - Ranty McRantface She/Her (@WorthyOnTheWeb) reported

    Banks are terrible but compared to mobile phone companies they are practically saintly! If I pay GiffGaff £10 I don’t expect them to steal back £9.50 just because I didn’t get chance to use it. It’s a stealth way of causing havoc and getting free money
