    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

    @giffgaff Oh great thanks so I don’t need to cancel it. I just won’t insert into a phone as it won’t be needed. Thanks

  • UrbanCityRider Urban Pariah (@UrbanCityRider) reported

    @LeGripperayJ @EE Giffgaff is rubbish and slow for data. What is the point of an 80GB goody bag if most of the time it trickles down at 1.5Mbps?

  • HannahV24303499 Hannah Violet (@HannahV24303499) reported

    @giffgaff please can you sort out my signal, now on day 2 of no signal and I need to receive a text to be able to log into an online account

    @oldguy537 @PhilCygnus I had the same problem with a UK provider GiffGaff when I was visiting that miserable country. Even had proof I cancelled the account. Still trying to charge me…. UK is a country where the consumer has no rights! Won’t be going there again!

    Sure if everyone's on @giffgaff and you topped up in the last 3 months you can still text each other but not to other networks, but only if everyone uses it and only for a 3 month window. If the only solution is everyone uses us, the more appealing option is not to use GG at all.

    Gotta love @giffgaff ‘s help page - our data coverage sucks in your area, so, yeah… use someone’s wifi. So why am I paying you for data??? Got this sim as a trial to see how it went but after the problems on holiday and now no data in the largest city in Scotland… not good.

    @stuartdan88 @giffgaff Hi Stuart 👋 you must get one month goodybag but you can cancel after by turning off the recur setting

  • chichi_writes Chichi (@chichi_writes) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff I've done that. giffgaff says the signal is good but O2 says the signal is poor in my area. I am still struggling to get a signal. I've never had this issue before and I've been with giffgaff for years.

  • ajmolyneux Adrian Molyneux (@ajmolyneux) reported

    @giffgaff having been through an agent I am frankly astonished at the poor service and lack of understanding. The reason is she apparently sent too many text messages but was never warned that this might happen, and nothing in the policies to say what constitutes too many.

    i get sm **** for being on giffgaff but i literally have never had any problems
