  @giffgaff How can a “service” company run with zero customer service/help and no phone number? What nonsense! Scammers!

  giffgaff: “We’re different from traditional mobile networks.” They weren’t joking. Most networks take your money and provide a service. giffgaff apparently takes your money and provides a lesson in reading the Fair Usage Policy. Truly innovative. 👏🇬🇧

  @JohnTillUK @O2 @Mozilliondotcom I was with EE over 18 years (from the Orange days). When they were bought by BT their renentions deals went up the spout and they wanted £60/month for a new iPhone 13 and that was at a discount. So I requested a PAC code on the website and bought my phone direct from Apple for £36/month over 2 years I moved to Giffgaff (which is 02 but been fine for me). Within an hour of the PAC request a guy from EE phoned me and said, why are you leaving after all these years ..... told him why and he said, we can offer it for £50. I said too late. Even with a £10/month sim deal on Giffgaff it was still cheaper and I never went back and I am still with Giffgaff 5 years later My friend works for Three and he said that legacy customer leaving is a red line for the companies because once you go, you'll never come back and they also know that once the customer discovers they can buy the phone direct from the manufacturer with 24 month 0% terms, it's the end of the line for the working model

  @thomasforth I think they are, in a way. This year I made the mistake of moving from O2 to Lebara, because it was cheaper. The signal is terrible, and despite it being on the Vodafone network, I get a “less bars” than colleagues who are on Vodafone. It seems to me the MVNOs, like Lebara and GiffGaff, are ways of selling less bandwidth for cheaper money.

  @Michael70481373 Unfortunately, this is not something we can investigate further through social media, and must advise that you keep in touch with our agents through your case, and provide any information that they need there, so we can help sort this out for you. – giffgaff Tasbiya
