  • 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

    @giffgaff Hey GiffGaff, I have 3 of your data SIMs and finding them virtually unusable due to appalling network coverage. One bar if lucky, and much of the day with zero data access. 02 network status showing problem with a mast but this has not changed for weeks. Suggestions?

    Giffgaff data seems to be down in Wolves. First time in about 6 years I've had an issue so can't really grumble

  • chromeyellow37 Jo's Multiverse (@chromeyellow37) reported

    @giffgaff Why can’t I make calls, when I have credit, everything is in order. I’ve been asked for two step verification to get into my account and it won’t send the email verification number to access it? Please help.

  • sambrooke Sambrooke Scott (@sambrooke) reported

    @giffgaff @_lagspike Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm getting almost exactly the same; on a Google Pixel (6 Pro) on 3, my son is on Giffgaff and I get "Invalid Number" whenever I try and call. Deleted and re-entered the number, no joy. Can send messages and WhatsApp etc. It's very weird.

    Argh panic - @SMARTYMobileUK doesn't support premium rate numbers. No option to enable either. @giffgaff it is then. Daft restriction. #Eurovision2022

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @sammy56373846 @GiftyAkuamoah1 @giffgaff Yes,once your old sim loses signal,insert your new one and restart your phone every 10 minutes or so until you have network coverage. Yes again,all transfer requests submitted before 5pm on Friday are carried out on Monday.
