    Still no joy with my phone, my days are numbered now with @giffgaff after many years loyal support #no4g

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

    @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)

  • MXOFO Lee (@MXOFO) reported from Newburn, England

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

    That giffgaff ad was spot on wtf

  • ridsdaleishere Albert Ridsdale (@ridsdaleishere) reported

    @slowbones Been with Giffgaff for six years, no problems.

  • ExhaustedWytch Three Crows in a Trench Coat (@ExhaustedWytch) reported

    I still don't get why using Giffgaff or Tesco Mobile was laughed at and why they were called "poverty networks." If you're paying more money for the same service, or even more money to get less then... you're a damn fool.

  • Luke47667480 Luke JJ (@Luke47667480) reported

    @giffgaff Why does your stupid app never let me sign in? It's absolute joke, every single time!!!

  • BazFoster3 Baz Foster (@BazFoster3) reported

    @giffgaff please help. I haven’t been able to use my phone for ages despite updating my contact details. How am I supposed to get help??

  • iamKayBayBay 💗 (@iamKayBayBay) reported

    @giffgaff It's been over 24 hours now and nobody has responded. This is an emergency and you need to escalate this query as soon as possible, who does she need to contact for that to happen?

  • iamKayBayBay 💗 (@iamKayBayBay) reported

    Why would you send a phone that's reported as lost/stolen to a customer??? @giffgaff she bought it brand new! and then you have no telephone agents so my sister cannot contact a human being to resolve this? You've also made her wait over 24 for a response. This is ridiculous

  • JulieMo12646349 Julie Moody (@JulieMo12646349) reported

    @giffgaff I desperately need to speak to someone about a blocked account. The preset options on the Help page don’t fit the problem!

  • sparklybex Bex Chalmers (@sparklybex) reported

    @giffgaff do you have a number I can call, I’m helping a neighbour who’s phone has been lost/stolen, she’s really struggling to contact you online and is getting very overwhelmed. Please can you help?
