  • RealRobTaylor The Real Rob Taylor (@RealRobTaylor) reported

    What's happened to the @giffgaff voicemail voice? It's gone from a professional studio voiceover to some ****** scally in his front room who's been ordered to provide voice recordings as part of his community service. Let's have the old one back please.

  • peterkin1010 Peterkin2020 (@peterkin1010) reported

    @Ker_Anderson @jmcomms @VodafoneUK They were all equally bad back then. The DWP used to use 0845 numbers which all networks charged aroind 50p a minute to call. And yes GiffGaff caught me again in May 2012 when my £10 'goody bag' ran out. Topped up again and they clobbered me for 25p a minute calls.

  • JohnInman6 JRinman6 (@JohnInman6) reported

    @BystandersUK @asda_mobile I've just had an email threatening to close my account and give my giffgaff number to another user..yet I've got £13 on it. I bought it as a spare sim for my smart phone. As you say it could be a sim used by a vulnerable person who needs an emergency mobile in case they fall...

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @zer0_friends @giffgaff No,it won't work I help out a bit in the giffgaff forum and there were a lot of questions from Oneplus 8 owners when giffgaff launched 5G asking why it wouldn't work so I did a bit of research to see if I could help them but there isn't a solution. 1/2

  • xrawt hailey (@xrawt) reported

    @Moon_Boobs @giffgaff HELP???? THEY EVEN HAVE A TWITTER

  • AliMorris25 Alistair (@AliMorris25) reported

    @giffgaff hi is there a outage currently in some parts of the country? I seem to have not had signal for a while....?

  • CuzLufc73 James Cousins LUFC 💛💙 (@CuzLufc73) reported

    @giffgaff You have the worst internet. It says 4G yet it won't even run facebook. Will be looking to switch asap

  • Fudgel11 Mac :: Scotland (@Fudgel11) reported

    @peejay_adams Ah okay, I'd hoped a solid year would be good enough to allow me to pay them £40 a month, but it's not. So yes SIM only was a route I'd considered, a prev post about this, GiffGaff came out as no1 for most folk as best SIM only deal/service. I wanted a fancy phone. My bad

  • Arron_Jeffrey Arron Jeffrey (@Arron_Jeffrey) reported

    @giffgaff my father in law has lost his phone(thinks it's stolen). He can't reset his giffgaff password as he doesn't have access to his email address. Can we cancel the SIM and get a replacement with the same phone number?

  • FrancescoIsa1 Francesco 'Isa (@FrancescoIsa1) reported

    @giffgaff But it said that if I wanted to log in straight away without waiting I had to change my password which I did and still locked.. I will wait again and try with the new password and see what happens. Tried this already in the past few days and didn't help... let's see what happens
