  @giffgaff Urgent unresolved SIM swap/account takeover issue on my Giffgaff account. I have now lost access to my mobile service twice within 36 hours despite repeatedly reporting the compromise and linked banking/finance fraud. No response from you and requires urgent escalation

  Due to me forgetting cause of a lot of **** in my life, along with @giffgaff taking too much of my money at once, I have no internet for now. So no streams and uploads will be difficult to do this month, but gonna still be creative in the background

  @finchyid1710 @beverleyturner A child can still buy a Fanta tho with no id, this is you cant have any until you verify, Not like a kid friendly version where you can still do some things it's just prove it or loose it, on device, instead of through the service you are using. For example giffgaff blocks adult content until you prove you are over 18. Some isp's block illegal sites. This doesn't need to be on device because if apple can do it, then why shouldn't samsung do it for their tvs which can also access illegal sites or porn these days. BUT, I have come to the conclusion that we've gone to far not parenting kids properly surrounding the internet and the gov has no choice or feels it has no choice, to do these things, Saying that there is no law for this kind of thing to be on-device so apple really has no reason to do it unless they know something we don't (likely)

  @Woody3704 @crip72012 @hewantswealth Giffgaff uses the O2 network

  @thomasforth I think they are, in a way. This year I made the mistake of moving from O2 to Lebara, because it was cheaper. The signal is terrible, and despite it being on the Vodafone network, I get a “less bars” than colleagues who are on Vodafone. It seems to me the MVNOs, like Lebara and GiffGaff, are ways of selling less bandwidth for cheaper money.

  @emsywemsy10 We just tested this on our end, and it should take you directly to the page to request a PAC. Alternatively you can log into your account then go to My Account, then profile and settings, and scroll down to 'Get a PAC code' - giffgaff Hannah

  @Jenny_1884 Dont stress about it @GiffGaff 5G is significantly slower than their 4G. Been like it for years, same on multiple different handsets & waste of time reporting it. Smarty has much better 5G coverage & speeds in my area. But overall 5G is really ****.

  @skelpitheid @SSalyers2 I purchased two from Amazon and i use Giffgaff SIM as my internet supplier....never had a problem. If you go for the model ' Poco ' , super fast and reliable.
