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

  • 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 I have 8 days left of airtime, therefore none needed adding. You don't know what 'goodwill' means, you #incompetent wasters. It did not take 5 working days for my money to go from my account to your grubby hands. Good customer service would be - crediting my account with data.

  • BuxtonTheRed Buxton The Red (@BuxtonTheRed) reported

    @oliviasolon Might be worth looking at Giffgaff, Voxi and Smarty. They're in-house "budget-MVNO" brands owned by the network they're on (O2, Voda and Three, respectively). All PAYG with auto-renew options, perhaps more convenient than a contract?

  • Nickpheas Nick Eden (@Nickpheas) reported

    @giffgaff @Jon__crawford I've got a bad feeling about Giffgaff.

  • eternal11460258 e.t.e.r.na.l (@eternal11460258) reported

    @Ariel_Sevilla @giffgaff I strongly recommend @rexxytech he help me recover back my locked account when I have similar issue. His legit and guaranteed

  • moshoodHA Moshood A. (@moshoodHA) reported

    @giffgaff This is not true I'm afraid. B11 3SB with Giffgaff is terrible for internet. You can't even hold a Teams call or Zoom meeting. What then is the use of the 8Gb internet bought for 10 quid even when it burns very fast? Output: Zero. Frustrating!

    Anyone else got No Service on GiffGaff/O2 in North London?

  • Hans_aus_Uk Hans.. (@Hans_aus_Uk) reported

    @giffgaff I've stopped the card , So you cannot reimburse me ! But I'm finally finished with giffgaff , you've just lost a customer. #giffgaff

  • apexsorca ORCA (@apexsorca) reported

    GiffGaff is literally the worst phone carrier.

  • jamescummings James Cummings (@jamescummings) reported

    @miaridge Yeah, I'm terrible at switching anything. Any recommendations? GiffGaff uses O2 network so I'd have same network access (but slower I hear). Have virgin broadband so maybe they'll give me a deal.
