  • ejtheginger EJ (@ejtheginger) reported from Blackburn, England

    Tales of Mother: So my mum calls me up and asks me to 'fix her phone'. What she means is that she has a second phone she wants everything transferring to, and has got the pak code for her to take her number to GiffGaff. I rock up...

  • 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.

    @giffgaff hi guys, trying to activate a SIM but the website/app won’t let me login with my new member details. Can you help please?

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @jamesmitchell09 We're glad to hear that you've now been able to log in successfully, James. The SIM swap can take up to 24 hours to complete, however we would recommend restarting your phone periodically during this time, as this would normally help. - giffgaff Emer.

    @pamelajarvis77 Please drop us a DM Pam so we can try to help with this. giffgaff Natalie.

  • HJGPhotography Helen J-G (@HJGPhotography) reported

    @DickieMeaden I recently switched from O2 to GiffGaff, signal quality has improved and I've saved a fortune...

  • _SimonRice Simon Rice (@_SimonRice) reported

    @samuelaled @ThreeUK If I’m not mistaken, only EE & O2 support it - & this excludes MVNOs on their networks like Giffgaff too

  • ilylibbywilsonx libbyx (@ilylibbywilsonx) reported

    watch out for a guy called Robert Lindsay everyone he knew my giffgaff account number and had currently cancelled my sim so I now have no phone network he has been stalking me for last 6 months threatening me investigating my family and walking around outside my house at night 🥺

  • Yelitza89 Yelitza Leon (@Yelitza89) reported

    @giffgaff how is it possible that I have been with you guys for 6 years (I've purchased a phone in that time and paid monthly without problems-me having no contract of employment) and now I can't buy another one with a full time contract of employment?? I don't get it...

  • DarthDoggo R2-DStu (@DarthDoggo) reported

    @giffgaff Does your network support WiFi Calling?

  • PaddyWV Paddy 🇪🇺 (@PaddyWV) reported

    @Outside_Margina I have been with Giffgaff for over ten years. So long as you buy a "Goodybag bundle" each month, the majority of your calls won't cost. Though if you are on Three at the moment, have a look at "Smarty", which uses the Three Network. I'm trying them out now.

  • DominicaHurlock dom (@DominicaHurlock) reported

    @giffgaff I have two factor authentication so i need the text message that gets sent to my phone, which i cant access because the screen doesnt work
