    @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)

    @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.

  • DylanTeague Dylan Teague (@DylanTeague) reported

    @giffgaff The card company did today. I have gone to your help page and attempted to get help but no response yet. I would prefer to speak to someone asap.

  • DylanTeague Dylan Teague (@DylanTeague) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks. Yeah I understand but I think there should be actual help in cases of possible fraud. Your prices aren't as competitive as they used to be, I'm tempted to leave for a company with a helpline after this.

  • gm8arv David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @feed_md @giffgaff Usually when abroad I get a local SIM, but that just for a few days. Haven’t travelled anywhere for a couple of years now, though! If there’s any issue I’ll be onto the credit card company, and it’s “only” £10.

  • TMBCurrie Tom Currie (@TMBCurrie) reported

    Good morning @giffgaff can you help sort out a phone number mix up with my account?

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    ******* Giffgaff website not taking my payment telling me it's my banks fault, so call bank it uses all the credit I had as GiffGaff charging me for the call despite the issue being caused by them & not my bank.

  • peter_ramsey1 Pip Ramsey (@peter_ramsey1) reported

    @giffgaff I need help as I'm being changed 10 pound 4 something Monlthy and I'm not even with you guys.. my kids are

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    I been with @giffgaff for about 12yrs now, but I seriously wish they had a proper customer service support phone number. When you got an urgent issue this archaic message support system is unfit for purpose in 2022.

  • gm8arv David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks, but I’m really looking for a yes/no answer. I accept that there will be extra capabilities such as minutes and texts I won’t use or be a bale to use. Will your SIM work in an iPad as a data-only service?

  • AWaters_1992 Alex Waters (@AWaters_1992) reported from Brownhills, England

    @mrswils76353408 @giffgaff Must be the more users that sign up to giffgaff the slower their network gets? It was mint until 2022...
