  • MorpheusMusk Morpheus (@MorpheusMusk) reported

    @giffgaff I am receiving the worst customer support. For a company of this magnitude it would be reasonable to consider call in support. Can someone help me with my issues here or not ?

    @giffgaff It’s the only thing you guys are missing and sadly it looks like it’s going to have to be an essential service for me. Please pass my request for WiFi calling up the chain for me Tasbiya. Thanks.

  • javaKrypt Stephen Jordan (@javaKrypt) reported

    I find PAYG SIMs to be great then die bc of throttling. I can barely load anything on VOXI anymore. #slow giffgaff: Jul '13-Jun '17 (3y 11m) Virgin Media: included with broadband package? (6m) iD: Jan '18-Oct '18 (9m) VOXI: Oct '18-Jun '21 (2y 8m) Three: Today - lets see...

    @giffgaff is your network down I'm Bristol? No mobile Internet coverage...

  • boblomu85 Boblomu85 (@boblomu85) reported

    @giffgaff Hi there, I actually do get 3g / 4g at the house - I'm writing to you now. It's just the upload speed (mainly) that is poor, or at least very patchy, making it hard to do video calls. But thanks!

  • Eoin_Burns Burnsy (@Eoin_Burns) reported

    @giffgaff hi guys what is going on please? I’m home in Ireland (republic of) and I can’t use mobile data, I’ve already spent £40 on credit, which quickly ran out. Feels unfair. Wife has no issues on her @ThreeUK phone (unlimited data, at no extra cost). Can you please help me?

  • ssbib85 Salford Citizen (@ssbib85) reported

    @giffgaff any plans to introduce WiFi calling? I live under power lines and nobody can ever hear me on a call. It’s been this way forever and is the same on my work phone/network as well.

  • keepthescore1 Keepthescore1 (@keepthescore1) reported

    @giffgaff Really upset to find out saved voicemails only last 30 days. Why do you not state this in your voicemail service? Looking at the forum it seems like I'm not the only one to unknowingly loose late loved ones voicemails. I'm devastated and furious!
