    @JackpWild Hi there. As long as your phone is within warranty, and there is no physical/liquid damage to the phone, then your repair would be completed. If the engineers aren't able to repair the phone, then this would be replaced. - giffgaff Emer.

    @giffgaff My son had an account with GiffGaff that was under my email. Could that be the problem?

  • HK_pigs HeiMiu🇭🇰 (@HK_pigs) reported

    @zazumi_A2 HGC blocked my residential Int'l Internet access for about 2 hrs yesterday include some not web service ports & VPN. It seems they try to setup the firewall to block the NET soon. Got ready guy!!! Apply a giffgaff SIM just in case. Activate it only necessary. Free to ship to HK.

    @giffgaff No I know but they are routed through your network which I know provided by @O2 so someone should take responsibility and stop these scammers I’m sick of blocking numbers
