  • mikeyoungUK Cllr Mike Young (@mikeyoungUK) reported from Elwick, England

    @giffgaff I got a payg sim for my spare phone yesterday and spent 30 quid on credit so I can use it as a data tethering device for my laptop at home. Live in a rural area so no fibre broadband option. Sadly, there is zero 4G signal. I thought all networks had this sorted?!

  • e_gran Lynda D💙 (@e_gran) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @RachelOrr I think you can just get a phone…it doesn’t have to have a giffgaff SIM (but check on that). However, GG is so cheap and easy and you can change plans or cancel with no contract. We have both been with them for years and years.

    @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.
