    @drmatthewhardy We alighted on Giffgaff originally because my daughter was in Canada termtime, and wiith Giffgaff you have a permanent mobile number but can buy a month’s service ( a “Goodybag”) at a time without renewing, so she just paid £10 each month she was back home, for about 10gb.

  • kendall1tau Ori (@kendall1tau) reported

    @O2 Aren’t you 50% owned by @TelefonicaUK ? who own 100% of @giffgaff ? The phone is locked to your network surely you must of come across the situation before and could help ?

  • daycoder hywel (@daycoder) reported

    Opened box with refurb phone from GiffGaff. Taking the phone out, the charging cable and SIM extractor fell out from the other side. But only the SIM extractor made it to the floor. The cable vanished on the way down. Completely baffled. Tiny wormhole?

  • V6xix6V V6xix6V (@V6xix6V) reported

    @giffgaff Since switching to your network it's been terribly spotty & recently lost all connection no incoming/outgoing calls/texts. Done all we can with the phone, is there something else going on within the network? Some insight & when it will be back up. Area code DE1 3LD

  • Bedew11 Bev Jones🏆🏆 (@Bedew11) reported

    @giffgaff I get mast issues can effect different sevixes I have worked for a number of mobile providers but the as I said in my original tweet 3 different sims and 3 different handsets. Also this has been ongoing for over a week now so I think its something a bit more than the mast issue

  • Bedew11 Bev Jones🏆🏆 (@Bedew11) reported

    @r1luafc @giffgaff They don’t do anything. It’s a mast issue everyone else can have a full service just not you mum, she can send txt and make calls, but god forbids her from receiving them!!!
