    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...

    Anyone got issues with giffgaff?

  • 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

    @ChopsyBristol They are so rubbish in Bristol. I'm on giffgaff, which uses O2, and as soon as I leave my house it all falls apart. I had 3G outside City Hall the other day. I could never play that Pokemon game around the city because the internet was so bad. #FirstWorldProblems

  • callmenzube nzube okoli (@callmenzube) reported

    @giffgaff worst network ever, no trained agents, no help what so ever, unable to deal with complaints, my phone number what cancelled all effort to get the number working proved abortive and plan wasn't refunded, please stay clear

  • nerysforester nerys forester (@nerysforester) reported

    @doctorhammond @O2 @giffgaff I got charged £100 as soon as we touched down in Doha airport last month, despite using no data at all with O2

  • beranmee Beranmee (@beranmee) reported

    @giffgaff how do I contact you to make a complaint?! I’m not a customer, but I am getting 3-4 SIM cards under fake names a day at my address!!! I post back but it’s non stop

  • alexalderthay A l e x (@alexalderthay) reported

    Hey @O2 I'm currently a @giffgaff customer but there EU roaming policy is terrible. Is it true if I'm a @virginmedia customer, I'll get double data and 25gb roaming when on holiday in the EU?

  • granth1974 Neil G (@granth1974) reported

    @giffgaff hey Giffgaff, I noticed my phone switches from 4g to 3g when making voice calls and the signal gets weaker. Is this a limitation of the network?

  • sniix_ Nicky🌙 (@sniix_) reported

    @giffgaff I don’t know why but my signal has gone down to two bars recently any reason why 😩😩

  • webbybloke Neil Webb (@webbybloke) reported

    @EE I was in contact with them for a month. I had an EE company mobile for many years and I complained to EE, but no one listened. I then ditched Plusnet as it got worse. I'm now with giffgaff and have a full signal in the house. EE just don't seem bothered about this area.

    Hi @giffgaff I’ve just arrived in Ireland today and now when I turn on my data nothing appears as well as the home page of the app not working, despite a message on arrival saying it will work just like uk, what can I do?
