    @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 @EdisonChu10 You never clearly informed customers of any time limit, such as 14 or 30 days. This is misleading and feels like consumer fraud.

    @giffgaff I would like to make it clear again that I have already contacted you by email, but I have not received any response from your side. You can also send me a direct message (DM) to resolve this issue.

    @giffgaff my wife tried to enter into phone contract via yourselves, and because she has never used klarna the contract can’t be fulfilled. Hugely irresponsible that via your chat function a person suggested taking debt/credit with klarna to improve score and support the order..

    Dear giffgaff Team, I am writing regarding the email I received stating that my service (mobile number ending in 3047) will be disconnected due to extended use outside the UK. My account/number is 7768423047.

    @wife_squirt Unfortunately, this isn't something we can investigate further through social media, and must advise that you keep in touch with our agents through the case, and provide any information that they need there, so we can help sort this out for you. – giffgaff Tasbiya
