    @giffgaff absolute disgusting service from yourselves and the repair team. Informing us by letter that my 12 year old had damaged his phone - does this go for my Dad with the same phone, he is 66 years old. Couldn't admit responsibility, think trading standards 😡

  • RangeHeating R🔥nge Heating (@RangeHeating) reported from Stockport, England

    @giffgaff Doesn’t get to the root of the problem though. And it doesn’t help prevent it happening to others who may not be as savvy and may fall for it. @Ofcom

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    I didn’t want to change mobile provider. But I was told this was the only way I could keep my service bill at a level I could afford. I was very happy with the PAYG service I had from @giffgaff, and did not want to change, but it was that or a surcharge.

  • paulywauly_74 Firstname Middleinitial Lastname (@paulywauly_74) reported

    @giffgaff What's the point?so you can tell me what I already know. O2 mast down, beyond our control blah blah blah. Have you ever tried organising a funeral and NO ONE can reach you? Making an already stressful situation 10000 times worse.

  • VexNemorensis Vex Nemorensis (@VexNemorensis) reported

    Of course it doesn't help that I'm on GiffGaff so half my attempts to dial take like ten minutes to connect anyway... 🙄

  • AlistairJump Alistair Jump (@AlistairJump) reported

    @giffgaff thanks for enabling my working from home via your mobile data. Any chance of a boost to cover @VodafoneUK’s rear end until they can get their act together? Their promise of ‘unbreakable broadband’ has been broken from day 1.

  • blogmywiki Giles Booth (@blogmywiki) reported

    Anyone else having problems with mobile data on GiffGaff? 2 family members both experience intermittent failures, more off than on, in SE London and in a much wider area. They suggest a fault with my local O2 mast, but I think it's wider than that.

  • leaveciaraalone Ciara (@leaveciaraalone) reported

    giffgaff are so nice and good at customer service i could cry

  • SueConni1964 Sue (@SueConni1964) reported

    @giffgaff Guess Il have to wait,there is a 5g mast down the road from me so I don't know how there's no connection,so frustratrating

  • leaveciaraalone Ciara (@leaveciaraalone) reported

    @giffgaff Hi.. i've done the process and my phone says no service. Is that just whilst it sorts itself out?

  • paulywauly_74 Firstname Middleinitial Lastname (@paulywauly_74) reported

    @giffgaff No 4g either. I couldn't even show my elderly housebound aunt who doesn't have internet any pics of urns so she could chose one for her late husband. The amount of stress your service, or there lack of, has piled on this week...
