    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

    @DevonportDreams o2/giffgaff is awful at home park! alot of people find it works ok on 3g as most are on 4g but i wouldnt recommend it. Plymouth is behind the times with 5g tech.

    @O2 hello, I’ve came back to O2 from @giffgaff and after 5 phone calls, 2 PAC codes and numerous promises my old number would be ported over….nothing has happened! It’s been a fortnight now, what is going on? It’s ridiculous customer service

  • bumblegoth BumbleGoth 🐝🦇 (@bumblegoth) reported

    @giffgaff hello, just switched to your network. How do I enable WiFi calling? I live in an area with extremely poor signal and WiFi calling is the only way I'm able to receive and make calls at home. Thank you.

    @1CarolineBerry All these MVNOs eg voxi giffgaff, talk mobile are all fine providing you don't need to talk to someone. I've been on talk mobile (Vodafone ( and found them brilliant . Online chat resolved issues quickly. I'm sure Voxi would be the same.

  • PandaSquiish NinjaPanda (@PandaSquiish) reported

    @AnxiousHolly In the UK only a few carriers support esim. Its never mentioned in any adverts and its on contract only. PAYG networks like giffgaff don't support esim. I get the simplicity and convenience of esim but swapping between phones, how easy is it compared to just swapping a sim card?

  • Anic_tm . (@Anic_tm) reported

    @o2 @giffgaff I filled in a form two months ago, and then another form a few days ago to transfer my number over to o2. The giffgaf number has now lost service and it has not been ported over to o2, so I am left without a number!!!
