    @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.

    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...

    @nectar Don't know if your system don't like iCloud emails or GiffGaff Mobile network but have got set up now using an old hotmail address and using a Vodafone mobile... either way its NOT been a great experience!

    @giffgaff "A giffgaff agent" suggests a person and badly designed Q&A pathways are not a person. Community members are people, however i presume they are volunteers and their responses to others asking the same question as myself didn't help either 🧵

  • Happy_Cats2017 Happy Cats 😻😷💙🌍 🇺🇦 Titch 🌈 (@Happy_Cats2017) reported

    @NotEnoughTECH I'm on @giffgaff - £6 p.m for unlimited and 2Gb of data and I never run out. Runs on the O2 network so coverage is fine.

  • AntiMae_ Loretta M (@AntiMae_) reported

    @giffgaff why is it so hard to speak to your customer service. Still yet to receive payment for my phone I sold.

  • MarvinMoore42 Marvin Moore (@MarvinMoore42) reported

    @z52782 @giffgaff I think it's a very bad business model to use your own customer base to act as voluntary customer service agents having worked in customer service for many years myself. It's bad enough when people are paid.

  • jimblaker jim campbell (@jimblaker) reported

    @giffgaff I do not need my giffgaff phone number now as i'm on another network now, what do I do will you recycle old number

  • Dan202338 Dan 2023 (@Dan202338) reported
