  • 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.

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

  • Love_SE4 @Love_SE4💙 (@Love_SE4) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Do you know what forget I even asked I'm going into town to get a SIM from a phone shop. At least if it goes wrong there are people to help. You lot are useless you don't need my money anymore. You owe me but I doubt very much I will get anything back

  • MrMoo28 Alex (@MrMoo28) reported

    @CarlGottlieb Not had any SMS from the network (GiffGaff), neither has my wife. We've both had boosters almost 2 weeks ago

  • steven_ncl Steven NCL (@steven_ncl) reported

    @YvetteHenson @GCVexed it will probably have been a public information text sent from your network then - which I don't think is illegal. I am with Giffgaff (02) and got nothing and he is with SMARTY (Three) and got nothing

  • CraSh_Williams CraSh Williams (@CraSh_Williams) reported

    @Seanr712 @giffgaff I tried them, it was a couple of years back and whilst OK at the start I ended up with some issue that seemed to take forever to resolve - think it a similar issue to yrs, data bag thing. Gave up in the end and went PAYG with Vodafone, no issues whatsoever.

  • rbhartshorne Rachel Hartshorne (@rbhartshorne) reported

    @giffgaff am I right in saying that you don't support wifi calling?

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @doc_matt_jacko @giffgaff You don't need a giffgaff account, click the "Make a complaint" button then on the next page click the "continue" button (for non members) and you'll be taken through the process without needing an account.

    @rooreynolds I think Three are a primary network operator, so their Giffgaff equivalent virtual operator would be SMARTY…

  • MattStibbs Matt Stibbs (@MattStibbs) reported

    Anyone on Giffgaff or other MVNOs get the “Boxing Day Booster” text message? Got one on EE, but not Giffgaff… can’t help think that some of the lower-cost PAYG networks might have been where that message might have been valuable and wondering if they got left out…

  • gnocfc GNO*CFC*⭐⭐ (@gnocfc) reported

    @giffgaff your customer service is a bit rubbish isn't it?

  • runbabycum iRoseFromDSandsAndLiveInDStars (@runbabycum) reported

    @giffgaff is the most useless phone network ever
