  • 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

  • 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.

  • BartBoski Bartek 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇵🇱 (@BartBoski) reported from Camberwell, England

    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?

  • DamonLeigh The Wrestling Dad - Damon Leigh (@DamonLeigh) reported

    Anyone else had shocking "customer service" from @giffgaff ? My wife is in tears trying to access her account after her phone was stolen and they won't let her access anything due to security?! For all we know someone is using her account. Shocking.

  • twiwendyuk wendy (@twiwendyuk) reported

    @Mykiel_B @cristobalypunto @giffgaff My phone calls are even cut out, your DM CHAT SERVICE IS APPALLING, STOP FOBBING OFF AND GIVE PEOPLE AN ANSWER, #watchdog should look into how you guys are ripping me off and others

  • talonfast Talon Fast (@talonfast) reported

    @MammothWhale Other providers will be the same, as they’ll rely on Openreach to actually configure the connection. A good temporary solution would be a VOXI or Giffgaff prepaid SIM card, and putting it in a cheap 4G router. You can get them on Amazon for about £60-70

  • twiwendyuk wendy (@twiwendyuk) reported

    @giffgaff No signal 25 a month NO SERVICE WHEN YOU DM on hear. No ADVICE NO HELP FROM, GIFFGAFF staff Just want to fobb people off I got more internet and service from a 5 Internet on Vodafone years ago How can you say you offer a chat service and just say "have I contacted anyone else

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @craigy_xo @giffgaff There is no way to switch it off unfortunately,giffgaff have made it compulsory for all members. Not a problem for me but there have been an awful lot of posts in the giffgaff community from members who don't want it.
