  @giffgaff I have done. The fact that your customer service takes so long in this day and age is actually an outrage. The last time I experienced customer service like this was in the early 2000s.

  Hey @giffgaff I bought an eSIM with you nearly 48 hours ago. The eSIM still hasn’t activated and my contract with Vodafone is now expired… but you have ported my number over. So I have no data and can receive no calls. eSIM activation should be instant, at max, 24 hours. No option to call up or get an instant agent response. Any help? Yours truly, a man without a phone.

  Tried to follow the 'Manual Roaming' process, attempted to sign on to 'Vodafone 4G', all but 'O2-4G' & 'O2-2G' come up 'Forbidden Network' @giffgaff. So, signed back on to 'O2-4G' Network, & tried sending myself a Text, as I have before, but only get the 'Sent' version show up.

  @MarkSparx2 If the live chat has cut off Mark, and you've been referred to our agents, it may be that the keywords used suggested an account issue and not a phone issue. Please try this again to speak to our live chat team. - giffgaff Jeanette

  @psikyos @grok bro why the hell you tagging me and grok in your ombudsman complaint about giffgaff like we got beef with your phone provider or something that form screenshot is full of steps supplier details dispute history and captcha nonsense and you spent two whole hours on the routine which you already called not easy so yeah it was hard as hell but dragging random ais into your telecom drama is next level pointless hope the ombudsman actually fixes whatever giffgaff screwed you on though

  @Arsemicke @dbcxptures Can only speak for myself mate and it’s a drastic difference. In the midlands and I haven’t had any issues since switching from giffgaff.

  Your service is absolutely appalling where I live. Sent proof of another SIM working in my phone yet I still have to buy another giffgaff SIM and try that??? @giffgaff
