  • clouddancefest Cloud Dance Festival (@clouddancefest) reported from Portobello, Scotland

    @giffgaff So, your goodybags don’t cover any phone calls or texts - including phone calls to landline numbers (0131) or texts to other Giffgaff users. How much do users have to bribe GG for even a vaguely functional service, and what compensation does GG give failed customers?

  • trrhodes Ross Rhodes (@trrhodes) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @giffgaff Hi Hannah, thanks for the prompt reply. This seems to be a persistent problem near a signal tower, so I suspect that may be the cause of the problem? May your team investigate further please?

  • DRZO73 David Ogilvie (@DRZO73) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    Awww, no @giffgaff!!! I hate the new voicemail guy. Terrible annoying voice and I just want the friendly, cheery Geordie announcer guy back or I'm going to have to leave you. #bringbackgeordiegiffgaff

    @Rpearson081 @CEOemail @ThreeUKSupport @ThreeUK @Three_Is_Broken @EE @giffgaff As soon as my contract is up with Three, I'm moving to another service provider. Only get poor service and coverage from Three and has got worse recently. Not wasting money any longer on this appalling company who provide you with nothing.

    @eszternikolettm A nearby phone mast in the W1G 9TF area is currently not working and this will be what is causing your usage problems. The engineers are aware of the issue and are working to fix the problem. - giffgaff Ann 1/2

  • K9Protection K9 Protection Ltd - Your ACS supplier. (@K9Protection) reported

    @JayneCowan @matthewevansnpt Personal SIM is GiffGaff, work one is EE. I have less signal issues in almost every location on the supposedly crappy cheap network than I do on the premium network. Lost track of the number of times I have to call back on the other line.

  • robjone67901918 rob jones (@robjone67901918) reported

    @giffgaff @mobile_o2 @currysplc stop cold calling me everyday trying to get me to upgrade. call centre staff are rude, hang up & don’t listen when I refuse to give all my details. My current contract isn’t up for renewal & when it is it certainly won’t be with you shower of ****!

  • marcsrhudson Marc Hudson (@marcsrhudson) reported

    Hello @giffgaff. Bought a ten pound goody bag. Sent two texts. Credit down to £8.45?? What's the point of a pay as you go goody bag if there are hidden charges? Can I take my number with me if/when I go elsewhere?
