  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Selly Park, England

    Seem to be finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a 3G signal from @giffgaff in Birmingham City Centre and around University station / Birmingham University area. Already had to give up on 4G in the city. Not really good enough. Couldn’t even tweet this from location!

  • CriticJonni Jonathan Currinn (@CriticJonni) reported from Birmingham, England

    So apparently I've been with @giffgaff for 8 years! It feels like a lot longer, it:s incredible value for money and swapping over was one of the best things I ever did... I need the price of phones to go down so I can buy a new one, would never consider a contract! No need to!

  • AWaters1992 Alex H₂Os (@AWaters1992) reported from Wednesfield, England

    @giffgaff Tried that just get a pre written scripted email back. Il look else where. A phone network provider with no phone theirself. You couldnt make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • royale_musiq Elisha Royale 💋 (@royale_musiq) reported from Birmingham, England

    If anyone else is having this problem call 1626 to turn your voicemail off. You can reactivate if you want by calling 1616. #GiffGaff #GiffGaffSupport

    @giffgaff hey- can I please get some help as soon as possible regarding a sim swap issue? I have no signal at all - no working sim and expecting important phone calls

  • A_J_92 Ash❗️ (@A_J_92) reported from Birmingham, England

    @georgiaahale @giffgaff @TalkTalk @ThreeUK Oh shit! If it was within 14 days you can defo cancel penalty free as that's within the cooling off period. Make a complaint if you haven't already, don't let them get away with it. Sometimes they need that kick if all else fails email the CEO I can provide email ad.

    All the lights flickered & then our local neighbourhood had a power outage. Lasted about 4mins but local WAN seems to be down for multiple ISPs/methods... (Virgin broadband/EE 4G/Giffgaff(O2) 4G). Interesting breakage! ⚡

    @Kearney96 it's weird how plusnet and giffgaff tried that route to be more relatable using the north instead of using southern english voices and instead what happened was i came to resent the north as a whole new customer service enemy

  • josephjscollen Joe Scollen (@josephjscollen) reported

    @Baz92037485 @giffgaff Had a refund for the month! Great customer service from @giffgaff. Very understanding! May I add this was the only time I’ve ever had a problem during the years!

  • su_jo @su_jo 💙 (@su_jo) reported

    @giffgaff Hi guys - had a call from a lass who said she was Carphone Warehouse and that she'd got my number from my existing network provider. Untrue, right?

  • LyttleGV glynis lyttle (@LyttleGV) reported

    @beccatwitt @giffgaff Hi Rebecca/giffgaff Same just happened with my daughter. She has 3GB of EU data on her goody bag. I logged a support issue but not heard back. She's only been in Greece 2 days. How many texts is too many? Is a WhatsApp message classed as a text?
