    @giffgaff i can kinda put up with your slow internet, but no internet at all isn't worth paying for. Not happy with you.

    @leaveciaraalone Do you mean you've found your phone Ciara, or that when trying to do the Find my iPhone, it shows no service? - giffgaff Jeanette

    @giffgaff hey on your website it says your network is running with o2, is there a way to get o2 priority ?

  • VexNemorensis Vex Nemorensis (@VexNemorensis) reported

    Of course it doesn't help that I'm on GiffGaff so half my attempts to dial take like ten minutes to connect anyway... 🙄

  • LeeDawson20 Lee Dawson (@LeeDawson20) reported

    @giffgaff been with them for years, never wavered, bought 3 phones in past. Latest Hauwei I bought not supporting apps I use everyday. No warning of this so basically useless. Agent said they can do nothing, suggests I sell the phone privately. Spent thousands with you guys. 🙁🙁

    @O2 hey my giffgaff card says it runs with the o2 network. Why can’t I use o2 priority with it then ?

    @blogmywiki I had issues with Giffgaff all summer. I'd have full 4g signal but no data anywhere with lots of people -capacity issues with masts perhaps? As an aside, I've switched to Plusnet mobile. They use EE and are much better and cheaper.

    @Tedds04 @giffgaff Yes it's a shame but it's not available to any PAYG customers who use O2 (giffgaff's owners) as their network. So O2's own PAYG users don't have it and neither do Tesco Mobile or giffgaff.

    @leaveciaraalone Reboot your phone periodically during the 24 hour activation period if the SIM is still showing out of service. If you still have issues after this time, send us a DM to have this looked into further. - giffgaff Jeanette
