  • _Izzers Izzy (@_Izzers) reported

    so disappointed in @giffgaff's delay in repairing my refurbished phone. The repair has been "on hold" for a week now because they incorrectly assessed it as being out of warranty. This is my 2nd refurbished phone from them which has had an issue. 10/10 would not recommend

  • sjebp St John's Church, N4 (@sjebp) reported

    @giffgaff I think person needs a PUK code to unlock the phone (he's somehow locked it). The problem is that because we activated the sim for for him, he doesn't have an account with you, so I can't get it from his online account.

  • fleming77 Jane Fleming (@fleming77) reported

    @giffgaff yes and they see the phone is on GiffGaff network but is "disconnected" with no phone number.
