    @giffgaff do all your refurb handsets come ***** and not in the condition described? Does your ask an agent actually work or does it always fail when trying to raise an issue???

  • Spargsy ☃️ Spargsy | Ben ❄️ 💙💛 (@Spargsy) reported

    @callcapz @giffgaff They literally piggyback off of O2 lol. That ain’t a giffgaff problem.

  • moralfortitude1 FixedWingGuy (@moralfortitude1) reported

    @giffgaff Been trying to but a Goody bag for nearly a week to with no success as your CV system will not be verify my bank card. Being told it's you not me, so what do is the problem?

  • JeromeInnocenti Jerome Innocenti (@JeromeInnocenti) reported

    @giffgaff payment systems are down?

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff you really need to sort this crap with the network reporting 5G to the phone handset but no 5G actually being available so anything using data just hangs. As soon as force phone to 4G only it works instantly.

  • callcapz 「ᶜᵃᵖˢ」 (@callcapz) reported

    @Spargsy @giffgaff makes sense as to why theyre so bad then

  • MrJohnHumphreys John Humphreys (@MrJohnHumphreys) reported from Littlebourne, England

    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @stevie_gadget @giffgaff You can add all of the accounts to the giffgaff app and manage them all from there. You can log in to the app biometrically so never have to deal with the 2FA and switch from one account to another without having to log out of the app.

  • KyahMusic Kyah_Music (@KyahMusic) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks for replying, but I don't see a drop down menu subject where I could state my query.

  • alix_jane_wood_ Alix Wood (@alix_jane_wood_) reported

    @giffgaff why have I suddenly got no signal in my home which I’ve always had signal in before?

  • roman_boro1 Gladson’s son (@roman_boro1) reported

  • Jasperwrites Jasper (@Jasperwrites) reported

    @giffgaff hello, have had no network signal on my phone since late last night, no idea why unfortunately. My wife also on Giffgaff but hers is working fine. Have tried everything from restarts to enabling SIM and disabling to removing sim and replacing. Any other ideas?

  • olivecat1890 olivecat (@olivecat1890) reported

    @giffgaff I tried a different debit card and it's gone through now, not sure what the issue is with the original card, but thanks for your prompt replies.

  • melroykazoole Melroy (@melroykazoole) reported

    @giffgaff I've been with you for over 10 years and never had a problem, but last few months my signal and Internet coverage has been appalling... what's going on???

  • storeyarmer Julian B (@storeyarmer) reported

    @giffgaff Hi guys, ive tried all the house keeping i can think of but im still getting no network signal. Can you assist me at all please? ta

  • ladyrachael21 Rachael Porter (@ladyrachael21) reported

    @giffgaff annoying me why do I always have 1 bar on my phone think it time to change network 🙄😪

  • StevoBladeCoD iBladey (@StevoBladeCoD) reported

    @giffgaff I have the worst 4G signal ever. It’s just O2 I think . They cannot be bothered where I live so am leaving for EE on 16th . Sorry but I was told it would get fixed and it never has .

  • gavstar88 gavstar88 (@gavstar88) reported

    @giffgaff can anyone tell me why 4G won’t load a simple video on the internet. When it was “released” it was the fastest thing since sliced bread… now 5G is here… 4G is absolute crap? How does that work? Thanks

  • nickofmn0506 Nick Oliver 🇬🇧 (@nickofmn0506) reported

    @giffgaff Ermmm yep but pretty pointless with the network coverage I get here!

  • nickofmn0506 Nick Oliver 🇬🇧 (@nickofmn0506) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff Been a network issue for weeks!

  • williamespring William Spring (@williamespring) reported

    @giffgaff any idea why there’s no service in Bexhill area?

  • adamebond Adam Bond (@adamebond) reported

    @giffgaff A new 5G mast has been put up quite close to me, but I can’t seem to connect to it. I’ve toggled 5G on in my service settings, but it’s still showing 4G at the top of my phone, and giving me really slow speeds. Any idea what’s going on?

  • hnnhbe han :) (@hnnhbe) reported

    honestly so stupid that giffgaff doesn’t get o2 priority even though it’s under o2

  • storeyarmer Julian B (@storeyarmer) reported

    @giffgaff Hi Jade, ive done that already no issues locally. :(

  • cllrmattbryan Matt Bryan Upton (@cllrmattbryan) reported

    @TitsOut Just googled it and they use O2 as a carrier network. I'm on O2 and it's usually ok. When I was on GiffGaff though it was a different case, they also use O2. Might be down to them not prioritising the users in the same way?

  • KyahMusic Kyah_Music (@KyahMusic) reported

    Thinking of replacing my @giffgaff sim card iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S22 from your online store. What I need to know is whether the S22 has ironed out the GG (O2) network issues that Galaxy S8 had?

  • olivecat1890 olivecat (@olivecat1890) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I'm trying to order a new phone but keep getting an 'Oops, it's not you it's us' message and the order doesn't appear to be going through. Is there a known website issue at the moment?

  • _binbag peter (@_binbag) reported

    giffgaff either makes a lot of money or they’re in trouble cos them pissing away additional data like they are atm is giving me the jinglies

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

    @amandafclark Okay, no problem. If you need anything else, let us know. Take care for now. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • nickofmn0506 Nick Oliver 🇬🇧 (@nickofmn0506) reported
