  • 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.

  • adshead_matt Matt Adshead (@adshead_matt) reported

    Bye bye @giffgaff every time I've tried to use Google maps I lose signal it's goes from 4G to 3G to H+. I am not willing to pay £10 every month for something I cannot use. As I'm sat here tweeting my signal is going again.

  • EmPep09 Emilia Pepperrell (@EmPep09) reported

    @giffgaff Already done and they’ve advised to contact you. They state that the Number transfer would not start until EE sim is in the new phone. So I guess we’re at a stalemate with neither party cooperating to get my sister in service. How do I make a formal complaint to Giff Gaff?

  • spurcy Sharon Purcell 💙 (@spurcy) reported

    @giffgaff where’s my phone signal???? PR1 😩

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @EmPep09 If the PAC code was used, then the number transfer would usually begin on the next working day, unless a different date was selected. We would recommend contacting the new network to find out more about the transfer date. - giffgaff Emer.

  • Rossmatthews86 Ross Matthews (@Rossmatthews86) reported

    Also, @giffgaff I want the tenner back we paid for the goody bag on the new sim because after this shoddy service, I’ll be going with another network.

  • BorisBirkin Rowley Birkin (@BorisBirkin) reported

    @giffgaff Still the same not working cant get a service on the sim i have put in the mobile

  • Aaron74214045 Aaron (@Aaron74214045) reported

    @giffgaff hey! For the last 2 days there is suddenly no signal, or very poor H+ signal in my house. Usually I get perfect 4G. Is there an issue with signal in the Maidstone/Aylesford area?

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @Aaron74214045 We're sorry to see you're having signal issues Aaron. Please send us a DM with your full post code and we can see if there's something going on. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • emmadotcom Emma Jones (@emmadotcom) reported

    Hi @giffgaff, I’m getting no service on my phone despite my sim working fine just yesterday. Can you help? Thanks!

  • KayHus93 Kai Hus (@KayHus93) reported

    @giffgaff Hi due to bad signal issues I have left the network last month. I didn’t use my number at all. Yet somehow this morning I had been charged! I’m very disappointed to find that a network to which I have used for so long could do me like that. No loyalty. Thanks.
