    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @giffgaff hi! I’m buying my mother a phone for her birthday and want to get a giffgaff sim to go in it. Went to order one on your website but whose name, email, number etc do you need? Mine (buying) or hers (customer)? Thanks!

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @teamIPSE Without a doubt! And phone signal! It is appalling how bad the signal is in parts of the UK outside of London! I am 4 minutes from the Cardiff city centre with no signal! #howareyoumeanttorunabusiness @o2networks @O2 @giffgaff

    @giffgaff I ordered the Huawei P30 yesterday and you guys have sent me the P30 Pro.. My moral compass feels bad for accepting this, please advise :)

    @1BJDJ @EE I've been with GiffGaff over 7 years. I pay £6 per month for unlimited calls & txts, OK the data allowance is pony at 500mb but I only ever use it when I'm out to check TfL's live timetable. I have broadband at home so it'd be stupid to pay for a high data package.

    @LStacey @EE Bizarrely from Sandbanks to Hengisbury Head is the only place I get a stable giffgaff signal, but when I was with EE it barely worked anywhere outside of the Square

  • _liquidsunshine Deborah Ellen Curl 🥂🧁💐 (@_liquidsunshine) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks - I realise this and have of course deleted it and blocked the number but it is the amount of these texts which is the issue. Failing to deal with spam texts infiltrating your Network puts your customers at risk. Is this being considered? #giffgaff

    @jackam2021 It sure is, Ashh. When you select and follow the prompts that is closest to your issue, you will be able to contact our agents directly through your account, so this can be investigated for you - giffgaff Jade

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff So frustrating! Itis NOT my number, it is you NUMBER. I DID cancel it 2 months ago after using it with a visiting friend. You ACKNOWLEDGED and confirmed it to be CANCELLED it. You are still charging for it!

  • TekinFM F Tekin (@TekinFM) reported

    @giffgaff Anything works with this company? You kept emailing me with you high security two step verifications never works! Is there anything else you can do to frustrate the enquiring public whilst unlawfully withdrawing money?? Very low!

  • woodstocktaylor Woodstock Taylor (@woodstocktaylor) reported

    @giffgaff Have been left hanging by customer service. It's something that I need an actual agent's help with, and the three who've responded to my requests for assistance via the app have disappeared. How can I progress this? I am on the point of asking for a refund.

    @AnupamUraiti Hi there. We're so sorry to hear that. Are you not receiving the password reset link, or are you having problems when trying to reset the password? - giffgaff Emer.

  • matthewpennell Matthew Pennell (@matthewpennell) reported

    @RoyalMail Your "Create a returns label" service isn't working properly - every time I fill in the form and submit it, it returns an error. Can you fix it so I can return something to @giffgaff since they don't provide an actual return address, please?

  • MariaTickle Maria Tickle (@MariaTickle) reported

    Decided to change from @giffgaff to @ThreeUK What a complete mistake! Worst service ever!
