    @giffgaff you are **** man. I may as well not have any service at all.

  • Christi41318939 Christian (@Christi41318939) reported

    @O2 I recently switched to Giffgaff and took my number with me. Got a message from you to say my last bill (£21) was overdue so I went to pay it, but I can't pay on the website or over the phone because it doesn't recognise my number anymore. Help please?

  • Tesshan8211 Tesshan (@Tesshan8211) reported

    @virginmedia works being carried out on the line today. SMS about it sent yesterday. I work from home and I cannot even use Giffgaff as a hotspot. Working on the line there as well. No notice. You own both companies and this is ridiculous after the 48h+ outage from last week.

  • CLJohnson9599 Hippy Rock Chic ॐ (@CLJohnson9599) reported

    @giffgaff No idea how you can fix prices when you keep sending dozens of unwanted sims out to my address to people who don't live here!!!!

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @akash_nu Not that we're aware of Akash. What issues are you facing? Try using your membername instead of your mobile number and vice versa. Also try a different browser and device to log in, to see if the issue remains. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • TheCynicOpt The Cynical Optimist 🇺🇦 (@TheCynicOpt) reported

    @giffgaff We've looked but there are no blocks in place. Basically whenever she tries to call him, it just says "Line Busy", but none of us have that issue.

  • andygates andygates (@andygates) reported

    @giffgaff Heya. The bot that sends reminders to email addresses is broken, can't reset my gubbins. Could someone turn it off and on again?

  • 1BenBaller Ben Baller (@1BenBaller) reported

    @bannbinouk @giffgaff Hi Steve, usually turning my phone off and back on helps but as others mention it could be a network issue in your area.
