    @Chutzpah84 @giffgaff How much is Giffgaff these days? There are a few options for no contract sims that we've tried eg smarty, lebara. You can try them for a month and cancel if no good. Lebara has 15gb for 7 quid and half price for 3 months!

    @giffgaff how long does it take for a new SIM card to be activated? New one arrived yesterday but still not working this morning.

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

    @scotdavid63 Hi David. It can take up to 24 hours from activation for your new SIM services to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot your phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

    I joined Giff Gaff in 2012. Never once had a problem, never once paid more than £12 a month. Credit where it's due. @giffgaff are faultless. Can't say that about many service providers. Here's to the next 10 years.

    It's always a shame when a once good company's customer service goes down the pan, so it's sad to see it happen to @giffgaff. Who have also fallen into the "if the delivery company we chose to use have failed it's up to you to complain to them, bye" shittery

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff Tried everything, but I’ve been told there is a mast that isn’t working correctly and engineers are working on it but no idea how long it will take to fix, a few at work who have giff gaff are planning on changing networks if it lasts much longer , but for now I’ll keep giffgaff

    @Zebsmattz @giffgaff That's one of the funny things, we know there's cheaper but have stuck with them. Happy with O2 signal where we live etc. But it does make you think a bit harder about it....
