    @giffgaff Hi, having problems logging into my account this afternoon - have tried on two different devices, and the log in page is just hanging. Any clue how long this will be like that?

  • purple_dragon25 kelly (@purple_dragon25) reported

    @giffgaff I never bother setting any because they never stick so whats the point? Besides, every day starts a new year if you think about it.

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

    @AtomOfTheSun Hi, The order shown on your screenshot is linked to an iPhone 11, this can't be changed through a phone update. This would suggest an iPhone 11 was purchased, and would be why your phone shows an iPhone 11. I you drop us a DM we can try to help further with this. giffgaff Natalie

  • AlexOLoughlin18 Alex O'Loughlin (@AlexOLoughlin18) reported

    @VodafoneUK I was told my number porting from giffgaff was complete. It seemed to work then has reverted to the old number. Please help

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

    @jamesmitchell09 We're glad to hear that you've now been able to log in successfully, James. The SIM swap can take up to 24 hours to complete, however we would recommend restarting your phone periodically during this time, as this would normally help. - giffgaff Emer.
