    @giffgaff hello I joined a few months ago as I was getting slow 4G speeds on my previous network. After joining giffgaff it was loads better and now has slowed right up again. Please can you help? When I run a speed test it seems that the speed is capped at under 5mbps!

    @giffgaff shocking customer service my SIM card has been hacked and taken over, my online banking been rinsed. I am not able to speak to anyone, they have no customer service number. I cannot log in because they have reset my password and they won’t cancel my sim. Shocking ! 😡

    @giffgaff I bought a second hand iPhone 8 2 months ago and the camera doesn’t focus despite me trying all the trouble shooting. It seems my only option is to send it in for a repair and be phoneless? Or just buy another…what do you suggest? I need my phone for work.

  • SoNowUknow2 James (@SoNowUknow2) reported

    @O2 I have an iphone that I have had for years and I now find it is locked to O2. I was using a giffgaff sim so no problem until now. I want to unlock the iphone to any network as a backup. I do not have an O2 account. Can you help me unlock my iphone?

  • comrade_chungus ??? (@comrade_chungus) reported

    Photo 2 shows the absolute cheek of their subsequent trade in quote for my near-perfect iPhone X. £29 offered down from £145 due to some non-existent 'screen burn' Incredibly shady practice from @giffgaff, to first send me a non as described product and then subsequently...

  • bluedonkey John Gordon (@bluedonkey) reported

    How is it possible that I am still stuck on a 3G network with @giffgaff when I signed up for a 5G plan. They should at least have 100% LTE/4G by now. Monthly cost in the US might be higher, but at least we get a decent network. #fail

  • LisaBoylesMedia Lisa Boyles (@LisaBoylesMedia) reported

    @PurpleTuesNov Hiya, I'm trying to register my organisation (giffgaff). I'm having issues with the Google Map integration, so I'm not sure if my submission has gone through. Is there someone I can email/DM to chat with about it - and next steps?

  • PhilipVaughan PhilipVaughan (@PhilipVaughan) reported

    @MartinSLewis It’s about giffgaff, right? I have paid less than £50 per month for 4 phones for 10 plus years. Data varies - 10, 20, unlimited - but the worst that happens if you run out a week early - buy another “Goodybag” (the name they give their tariffs). Probably happened 5 times.

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @alexbloor @Johndevine @giffgaff Yeah. They have an actual trial with real (hmm!) esims. I have one phone with an eSIM. In an iPhone. As I have a feeling that’s the only thing they launched the trial with. They even have support pages for it.

  • comrade_chungus ??? (@comrade_chungus) reported

    @giffgaff A. Dispatching your refurbished phones B. Assessing and quoting for 'recycled phones' How can I make this complaint please? PS keep up the great work on here social team, I feel sorry for you having to work for these jokers and deal with these complaints.
