    @Alichat66 a good service provider firm is GiffGaff a good reasonably priced phone, but capable is WileyFox

  • AdrianBeeby Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUK Data is as ‘okay’ if you could ever get a signal but then prices got crazy. What a nightmare giving notice was - the call operators just won’t give in and let you simply cancel. Moved to @giffgaff and been happy ever since. @giffgaff you are awesome.

  • xdschoonx dschoon (@xdschoonx) reported

    @giffgaff why when I have £22 credit does it try use my card to buy goody bag not done two attempts. Basic bloody useless coding the trouble with you people you employ too many gamers instead of proper business people

  • Al_typeR Alan Waters (@Al_typeR) reported

    @giffgaff very disappointed and now leaving your network due to the appallingly slow data speeds. Excuse after excuse and a complete failure to accept it is O2 throttling the speed of your network was the final straw. I’m sure you will lose a lot of customers over it.

  • Basmanrox Barry 💙😷🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@Basmanrox) reported

    @Beddy7865 Yes, it is a negative unfortunately but they are robust and “generally “ bug free. Go for a guaranteed refurb? We always use giffgaff refurbs for phones and never had a problems .

  • justinchaloner Justin comes from an alternate reality (@justinchaloner) reported

    Hey @giffgaff - why am I not getting decent signal anymore? I’ve done usual stuff (restarting phone, turning on and off airplane mode etc) but nothing’s changed. Is it O2’s fault? Baffled (and frustrated).

  • HubertHobux Hubert Hobux (@HubertHobux) reported

    Why have I been locked out of my account @giffgaff ? I'm away from home where my member details and password are secured.. tryed to access my details from memory then you wouldn't let me reset my password you *****.. Last straw with you lot.. I shall cancel my direct debit now.

  • MeadowFaust meow meow faust (@MeadowFaust) reported

    Guess I'm not going with giffgaff. No other alternative to paying a phone on a monthly plan outside of Klarna which isn't an option for me anymore. It sucks ***

  • MissMcLovin84 Nicola McGee (@MissMcLovin84) reported from Manchester, England

    @giffgaff absolute disgusting service from yourselves and the repair team. Informing us by letter that my 12 year old had damaged his phone - does this go for my Dad with the same phone, he is 66 years old. Couldn't admit responsibility, think trading standards 😡

  • BadLuckTomPS BadLuckTom (@BadLuckTomPS) reported
