    🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  • 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?!

  • SixCylinderDean Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  • ScooterRiderFMX 🏳️‍🌈 #ImMeWhoAreYou 🏳️‍🌈 (@ScooterRiderFMX) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  • 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.

  • nathanlawsn Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

  • MeInSunderland #ImMe | #SAFC | 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@MeInSunderland) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

  • jamesoneill James O'Neill (@jamesoneill) reported

    @giffgaff Having a chat with a mate, He said "@giffgaff's a network I rate". Well mine was a *****, So I just made the switch. For the last seven years they've been great (actually, I think its 9 years but 7 scans better) #NationalLimerickDay

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @sammy56373846 @GiftyAkuamoah1 @giffgaff Yes,once your old sim loses signal,insert your new one and restart your phone every 10 minutes or so until you have network coverage. Yes again,all transfer requests submitted before 5pm on Friday are carried out on Monday.

  • NickBarter7 Nick Barter (@NickBarter7) reported

    @giffgaff I would like to make an official complaint about the staff member from your "case complaint team" who has lied to me for the past 10 days, how do i do this as he has just told me he has no manager or boss. Probably another lie.

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @sammy56373846 Yes you can,just keep using the Vodafone one until it loses it's network connection then swap over to your giffgaff one and restart your phone every 10 minutes or so until it's fully working.

  • bradfordlad5 John, a modest genius 💙 #FBPE (@bradfordlad5) reported

    @A_D62 @ThreeUK @giffgaff It always used to be a hassle and sales teams would beat you down.

  • _katefm Kate French-Morris (@_katefm) reported

    @giffgaff have had no service since activating a replacement sim two days ago. Messaged an agent yesterday but tumbleweed. Need swifter response as this is obviously hugely inconvenient…

  • josieisamess josie 🐦 (@josieisamess) reported

    in the process of moving phone providers and giffgaff is punishing with me slow data on my last day

  • BicycleBenUK BicycleBenUK 🚲🚶‍♂️| mastodon.online/@BicycleBen (@BicycleBenUK) reported

    Argh panic - @SMARTYMobileUK doesn't support premium rate numbers. No option to enable either. @giffgaff it is then. Daft restriction. #Eurovision

  • aliwiseman Alistair Wiseman (@aliwiseman) reported

    Giffgaff data seems to be down in Wolves. First time in about 6 years I've had an issue so can't really grumble
