    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

    @giffgaff There wasn't, the network just slows down to a crawl/stops functioning from congestion levels that are literally a daily occurrence there

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • CammieRacing
    TFz Cammie Racing (@CammieRacing) reported

    @HojozF1 @cgzwolfman @giffgaff It felt horrible to use compared to an iPhone. Fingerprint sensor was out of reach, & right next to the camera. So I had to use two hands to use it, and I kept smudging the camera lens. Lack of a home button was something I couldn't get used to. Google Play was temperamental.
