    @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.

    @huddlestone_v @WilliamNB @giffgaff I am using giffgaff for same reason I personally found EE awful and as much as I am not a huge fan of Vodafone customer service I would say they probably most reliable service and coverage but you do pay a premium for it.

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    @linseygiles One of the quickest ways to get my back up is to be treated like this. Reasonable tests I have no issue with, but it's obvious that @giffgaff has no interest in anything other than twisting the truth

  • WilliamNB 🚲 Will is too honest to ever be an MP 🇬🇧🇿🇦 (@WilliamNB) reported

    with those, but the way @giffgaff treats people is simply atrocious! Don't EVER lie! Don't EVER blame the customer when it's patently obvious there's an issue with the mast. Don't ever do business with a company who treats you like this!

  • till_the_wheels 𝕵𝖚𝖌𝖘 (@till_the_wheels) reported from London, England

    @O2 @Joegreaney Hi I'd just like to add that this is a problem for everyone on 02 and giffgaff in that area and it's because a mast in hither green has been down for 2 years and these crooks hate you enough to ignore it.

    @declanw @giffgaff Wow. That's impressive. They are on the O2 network (O2 owns them). The killer app for 5G is Fixed Wireless Access for homes.
