  • Viking_Sarah_1 Sarah the Crazy (@Viking_Sarah_1) reported

    @nicklesby79 Oh I thought you meant home wifi not also 4G. I have Shell for home and @GiffGaff for mobile. GiffGaff are part of O2 so use their network. Brilliant reception and very cheap!

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

  • Mlle_LeVell Mademoiselle LeVell 3.5% funny ✊🏽 💚 (@Mlle_LeVell) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks. I’m quite surprised though. This has never happened before and I can’t work out why I’ve suddenly used so much more data. Any ideas? I’m normally at home & connected to WiFi.

  • ProveIt78 Andy Holding (@ProveIt78) reported

    @giffgaff And you still haven’t answered my question. This can be dealt with if I DM the details. There are plenty of examples of this. I’ll add your name to my complaint because of the poor way you have handled my concerns.

  • FatherCheesy Reverend Hugo Z. Hackenbush (@FatherCheesy) reported

    Just moved my fathering law to @giffgaff because he hardly uses his mobile. He had £15 PAYG credit on the phone He hasn't used the phone at all but the next morning £1.75 had gone & later that day it was down to zero. WTF is happening @giffgaff
