    @giffgaff can someone please help, I filled out a survey about why I am not using my phone as much and at the end it said my account has been cancelled. I still need my number to work even though it’s not my primary number. Can someone help me get my number back please?

    @IMi11y This is only temporary and the service is expected to return to normal around the 15th of February. We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused - giffgaff Jade

  • clarinette02 clarinette Datarainbow 🌈Privacy Advocate (@clarinette02) reported

    @kevtownsend Have you tried calling as a new customer? I could never get anyone when trying to cancel the subscription few years back. Cancel and get a Giffgaff pay as you go redeem SIM. No hassle.

    @dougmcneall @ThreeUK I'm on Vodafone who are not evil but mildly incompetent in customer service; we just added a GiffGaff for data for homeschooling, and would heartily recommend.

  • btp0990 Ben (@btp0990) reported

    @Virginhelpteam yet again I’m sat at home using my data as your internet is pure crap. Good job @giffgaff looks after us. @Virginhelpteam not good really considering we just settled a previous complaint

  • rapsiencyn Siencyn Socialist Yes Cymru!! #imvotingplaid FBIW (@rapsiencyn) reported

    @GrahamBarnfield @giffgaff Well idiot features! I have an ongoing monthly direct debit for a sim only service. I think you’ll find that constitutes a contract in law. It may only be a month long repeating one but nevertheless a contract. Pay attention! Dunces cap for you!
