    Hey @Ofcom we have been having issues with our mobile number that’s with @giffgaff no calls/texts from EE are coming through! (pretty basic part of service) Reported to @giffgaff beginning of August - still not resolved. (Suspect it’s been going on for much longer) can you help?

  • lucylocket_93 Lucy Howarth (@lucylocket_93) reported from Barnet, England

    I’m gonna leave giffgaff as soon as I get home - £10 per month is great but you never have ******* signal!

  • JelllyBeaan Gezza (@JelllyBeaan) reported from Romford, England

  • sofiloco Sofi Summers (@sofiloco) reported from Hackney, England

  • DrJennyVaughan jenny vaughan (@DrJennyVaughan) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @giffgaff sort out your ageist “customer care” approach & call & help my 77 year old mum. You don’t even help me to help her you just send us a barrage of data red tape we can’t deal with. This is how elderly people are marginalised by #giffgaff they just won’t make that call.

  • Love_SE4 @Love_SE4💙 (@Love_SE4) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Do you know what forget I even asked I'm going into town to get a SIM from a phone shop. At least if it goes wrong there are people to help. You lot are useless you don't need my money anymore. You owe me but I doubt very much I will get anything back

  • AkpaluGeorge George Akpalu (@AkpaluGeorge) reported from London, England

  • Mr_MartinCalder Mr Martin Calder (@Mr_MartinCalder) reported from Walthamstow, England

  • MrsP_A Debra Patterson 💙 (@MrsP_A) reported

    Hello @giffgaff. Can't seem to top up. Not receiving code via email or text, and 43430 isn't working. Help, please.

  • FourQ #NoWarPlease #StopTheWar 𝔣𝔬𝔲𝔯𝔮 ♿ (@FourQ) reported

    I have no issue with 2FA, I welcome it with open arms. Unfortunately SMS is far from secure to start with and limits functionality. Give me a token any day. So many apps to use, Google, Authy, Yubikey. @giffgaff failed massively here.

  • JMarTV JMar (@JMarTV) reported

    @giffgaff Used to be good but it’s going down hill. They say it community driven but the plans are terrible . Thinking of moving to an other provider .

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

    @stuartdan88 We're a pay and go company Danny, so you won't be signed into any contract. If you're with a different network, you can simply put this SIM into the phone. If the giffgaff SIM remains inactive, no further charges will apply. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • LiamFlow they call me crumbs 🌻 (@LiamFlow) reported

    @giffgaff have been having terrible reception for a few months now just looked up my postcode and it says oh sorry problem with phone mast. I legit am trying to get through to nhs 111 and can't. Can I get more info about this coverage issue?

  • stuartdan88 Danny Stuart (@stuartdan88) reported

    @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

  • srobalino Bereft of all social charms 🏳️‍🌈/🇺🇸/🇬🇧 (@srobalino) reported

    Does anyone know if you can preorder a pay-as-you-go SIM card to use in Spain (ie get it sent to a US address)? @Giffgaff does this for UK. Trying to help a friend travelling outside of North America for the first time.

  • bcolinevans Colin Evans (@bcolinevans) reported

    @giffgaff Sacked giffgaff, response to problems is non existent, certainly won’t recommend.
