    @moonlightcrys10 Oh dear, that's strange. Please try clearing the cache and cookies on your browser, and then try that out again. If you have the same problems, we would recommend trying that out using another internet browser or device. - giffgaff Emer.

    @giffgaff I paid 6pounds to activate my son's gifgaf number and it wasn't activated, today again I have been debited 6pounds because it was set on recurring debit and my son's phone is still asking to be activated. Please help

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thanks, I've tried to switch that off and it says failed. I think I've tried 1919 but will try again just incase. Literally spent the whole of my evening trying to figure it out (and yup I got a samsung) when I've googled everywhere says its a network issue.

    Hi @giffgaff, I generally think you are great, but surprise enforcing 2 stage authentication to log-in to your website, which requires receiving an email, is not smart. You need data to get to your emails, and an email to top-up your data! This will cause people problems.

    Getting really annoyed with my false giffgaff signal now. Like it says I’ve full 4G and nothing will work, I’ve friends on O2 (who giffgaff uses) reporting the same thing and all they say is the networks busy. Really crap now tbh

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @X_eLle_S @giffgaff This is because call barring is switched on in your phone settings,it's not a network problem. You need to do a quick Google search for "switch off call barring on your phone make and model"and you should find the default pin code for your model.

    @cwoody110 @giffgaff Thanks for the info - how did you get a code from them? Did you report it as a problem as a giffgaff user or something else?
