    @giffgaff can you help me roam my line please

  • VictorianDad Victorian Dad (@VictorianDad) reported

    @ihopethisis @giffgaff Failing to see what you find controversial about this post? The reference to No. 10 Downing Street having a revolving door? The promise to keep current prices for over a year? What makes you think that this post was a bad decision?

  • Walnut_No1 Si Roberts (@Walnut_No1) reported

    @giffgaff what’s happening with your online service? Every time I’m trying to access my account it’s saying it’s a problem on your side? This isn’t the first time either, need to access my account

  • WildWestNut ☆Bandit☆ (@WildWestNut) reported

    Hey @giffgaff how do I turn on 5G on my phone looks through my settings an it’s just showing up as 4G but I ordered a 5G sim any help is appreciated

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

    @Bagpus Hi there. We do not offer or support eSIMs unfortunately - giffgaff Jade

  • PeterEdwards99 Peter Edwards (@PeterEdwards99) reported

    @TeeNoodles @BlokeOnWheels Sky, Giffgaff, Lyca and a bunch of others don't have their own network, they essentially rent from people like O2, EE etc. Far as I know only 3, O2, Voda and EE have a network. So I presume tenants have to charge if "landlord" does? Or can they set roaming pricing independently?

  • campras Campras (@campras) reported

    Dear @giffgaff why my roaming in Italy doesn’t come back with a fresh new goodybag? I’ve tried everything and beyond: your app says I have 5Gb+money. But still, I cannot connect to any provider. Please Help!

  • TheGophergod G-O-I (@TheGophergod) reported

    @giffgaff is there a problem I am waiting for the verification code to log in but its not come

  • HristiyanHrist4 Chris (@HristiyanHrist4) reported

    @giffgaff how come i had full service yesterday and now i have none. Fix it!

  • campras Campras (@campras) reported

    @giffgaff Checked: And yes, it’s enabled. My iPhone connects but with no signal bars with any provider and I’m in the same place where I was regularly connected 8 days ago and anyone else gets signal. Any other suggestion?

  • ibra198110 Ibra198110 (@ibra198110) reported

    I'm in China and I need help. Can anyone tell me how to top up my GIffgaff free calling card? Or a friend who can help me buy a Giffgaff top-up coupon in the UK?

  • editsfqx - 💛💙 (@editsfqx) reported

    @giffgaff my phone is saying i have no service when i’m in range of getting service, i’ve tried taking my sim out, restating my phone and even resetting network settings and it’s not solving the issue

  • The_PandaClan PandaTrds (Panda clan✌️🐼) (@The_PandaClan) reported

    @giffgaff The worst network on planet earth

  • LasaMohamad Lasa Mohamad (@LasaMohamad) reported

    @Jobjohn @giffgaff Same issue, no network around Manchester or Bolton!

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

    @MiaNobbs That's not good Mia. Please send us a DM with your full postcode, so we can rule out any network issues in your area that could be causing this. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @Bagpus @giffgaff Giffgaff don't support esims unfortunately.

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

    @editsfqx That's not good. Are you able to send us your full postcode via DM and we'll see if there are any issues in your area that could be causing this to occur. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • AlexNapierNomad Alex Napier Holland 🦍 (@AlexNapierNomad) reported

    @giffgaff we both know that GiffGaff have totally dropped the ball on eSIM - you’re years behind already. Now that Apple’s killing eSIM will you finally support them - or do you plan to simply let your business fall apart?

  • Jobjohn (((JD))) 💙🌻 (@Jobjohn) reported

    @giffgaff Hello. Tried that again. Does nothing to help. My postcode? It’s anywhere on way to work, Manchester. You want the postcode of every station?

  • Lawrencemuraga Lawrence (@Lawrencemuraga) reported

    @LisaBoyles @giffgaff Have tried them but 02 network is so poor definitely moving on to a more reliable network

  • Testipickle Bloke (@Testipickle) reported

    @CompanySuisse @giffgaff Not at all. I was on it 3-4 months and had enough. Might have improved since then I dunno, I'd never try them again.

  • nhsfatcat Simon Ruffle (@nhsfatcat) reported

    @Parody_RCGP @giffgaff By commissioning a service they have admitted it’s worth 170k when they were paying 70k. Perhaps they’ll pay properly for all the services that the Cumbrian GPs provide.

  • AJPendleton Andrew Pendleton (@AJPendleton) reported

    Hi @giffgaff I’m off to @VodafoneUK tomorrow because you changed the rules on roaming and capped my data after I’d left for summer hols. And then refused to help. Just important for firms to know why customers move their business. Also getting a better deal.

  • Testipickle Bloke (@Testipickle) reported

    @CompanySuisse @giffgaff Be careful on Giffgaff, have a back up sim if your phone allows it cos the network goes down, a LOT. No calls in or out, sometimes days at a time. Nobody to complain to either other than other users on their forum.

  • Zac_Greaves10 Zac⁴⁴ (@Zac_Greaves10) reported

    @olivias63 @MercedesAMGF1 Is it bad the one thing I took from this is your a fellow giffgaff user 😭

  • Bagpus Bagpus (@Bagpus) reported

    @giffgaff is it possible to covert to an eSIM please? My phone has one SIM slot and one eSIM. I'm traveling soon and seems they mainly have Sims where I'm going. So it would help if I could use the eSIM for Giffgaff. Thanks for advice

  • howlieT a box full of owls (@howlieT) reported

    Honestly, the main problem with @giffgaff as a network is that if you have a non account issue it relies on the stack overflow method of help. Love to hope a random stranger sees my question and knows the answer guys!

  • MiaNobbs Mia Nobbs (@MiaNobbs) reported

    @giffgaff my phones been out of service since yesterday, even after doing a network reset; what is going on? I can’t work with a network who can’t supply me with service

  • jessica__gannon Jessica-Louise ✨ (@jessica__gannon) reported

    @All4 BRO WHY IS YOUR APP SO BROKEN. it’s asked me 8 times to confirm to watch rick and morty and also showed me 4 dominoes adverts and 2 giffgaff ads. sort your **** out.

  • ihopethisis Wat (@ihopethisis) reported

    @giffgaff Is the social media manager not paying attention to current events or is this a cynical attempt to court controversy? Either way this post was a bad decision
