    @_sh1opan Giffgaff is probably the cheapest and you don't need a contract. But check signal with local residents. Probably still Ikea Argos/Curries/Amazon... I guess wherever really. As the generic brands See above for washing machine. The DFS Sale still going STRONG

    @giffgaff hey guys. I replaced a sim for my dad who moved from an iPhone 5 to a Samsung today. It says I’ve successfully activated the new sim but I’m not getting signal yet whereas his old phone with his old sim still is. It’s been about an hour. How long does it usually take?

  • joshwn1 joshwn (@joshwn1) reported

    Love how most phone companies have a normal robot voicemail and then there’s giffgaff who’s got some random northern block shouting down the phone. Ever sad? Call someone with giffgaff and hope they don’t answer

  • MrJoeHill Joe Hill (@MrJoeHill) reported

    @giffgaff are so ****, I’d forgotten why I’d stopped using them 10 year ago and now I remember, proper ******* fraudsters take your money and don’t give you the bundle you pay for. Robbing bastards ruined my sons birthday, can’t use his new phone, he’s gutted.

    @NubiBlue @rafathetoffee I got stopped. I had the nhs passport in my wallet so it was fine. But those needing the internet were screwed. There is no signal at GP particularly the O2 network, which includes Giffgaff.

    Struggling because my new Giffgaff/O2 network is so much worse here than Voxi/Vodafone that I used to be with

  • hattiecooke Hattie Cooke (@hattiecooke) reported

    Dear @giffgaff I've just bought a referbed iPhone from you that doesn't get signal. So I checked the IMEI and it's blacklisted - which means this phone has been lost/stolen. Can you contact me so we can resolve the issue? PS - selling stolen phones isn't a good look.

  • KaiMana1100 Kai Mana (@KaiMana1100) reported

    @giffgaff That doesn't work. I get the same 'uh-oh there appears to be a connection issue' error message. There isn't a connection issue though - all other sites are fine.

  • YasminRyan Yasmin Ryan (@YasminRyan) reported

    @giffgaff help, my network has been completely down since 9am this morning. In the lu4 area. Is this a network problem? I'm using WiFi but can't make or receive calls or texts or use my data
