  • e_gran Lynda D💙 (@e_gran) reported from Hartlepool, England

    @RachelOrr I think you can just get a phone…it doesn’t have to have a giffgaff SIM (but check on that). However, GG is so cheap and easy and you can change plans or cancel with no contract. We have both been with them for years and years.

  • RobDowson86 Rob Dowson (@RobDowson86) reported from Stainton and Thornton, England

    @giffgaff Hi I have two queries, basically my phone sale is not appearing in selling my phone and also my revised quote is £13.50 and stating there is white dots on the screen this wasn't a issue when I send my phone to yourselves.

    🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  • mikeyoungUK Cllr Mike Young (@mikeyoungUK) reported from Elwick, England

    @giffgaff I got a payg sim for my spare phone yesterday and spent 30 quid on credit so I can use it as a data tethering device for my laptop at home. Live in a rural area so no fibre broadband option. Sadly, there is zero 4G signal. I thought all networks had this sorted?!

  • MeInSunderland #ImMe | #SAFC | 🇬🇧 🏳️‍🌈 (@MeInSunderland) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

  • ScooterRiderFMX 🏳️‍🌈 #ImMeWhoAreYou 🏳️‍🌈 (@ScooterRiderFMX) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  • SixCylinderDean Dean (@SixCylinderDean) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  • jodieforeman jodiex (@jodieforeman) reported from Redcar, England

    OH MY ******* GOD HOW CAN @giffgaff SEND ME THE WRONG SIM CARD TWICE YOU ******* STUPID ***** ABOUT TO ACTUALLY COMMIT A CRIME IM THAT MAD

  • nathanlawsn Nathan Lawson (@nathanlawsn) reported from Sunderland Bridge, England

    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

  • ProveIt78 Andy Holding (@ProveIt78) reported

    @giffgaff Please stop repeating yourself. Why will you not deal with this when you (giffgaff) have looked into other issues relating to inactive accounts via DM? This is a serous issue involving potential fraud.

  • 0001Matt Matt (@0001Matt) reported

    @giffgaff Er, no, you misunderstand me. First attempt to change password, locked out of account. Problem your end, not mine.

  • Mlle_LeVell Mademoiselle LeVell 3.5% funny ✊🏽 💚 (@Mlle_LeVell) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I received a text today from 43431 saying that I have used all of my data & will be charged 10p/MB & if I want to renew my good bag (a week early) to follow the link! Never happened before & Ive been with you for 1 year. Scam or genuine from GiffGaff? Thanks.

  • ProveIt78 Andy Holding (@ProveIt78) reported

    @giffgaff And you still haven’t answered my question. This can be dealt with if I DM the details. There are plenty of examples of this. I’ll add your name to my complaint because of the poor way you have handled my concerns.

  • joncampling JON CAMPLING Storyteller (@joncampling) reported

    @giffgaff No Only happed today while out and about... 1st Got a message re payment failed (my bad) so updated my card info... then Then told had no credit 🤔 which I thought was odd cos I did have some... I have looked in the app but it doesn't give much info re credit??

  • Viking_Sarah_1 Sarah the Crazy (@Viking_Sarah_1) reported

    @nicklesby79 Oh I thought you meant home wifi not also 4G. I have Shell for home and @GiffGaff for mobile. GiffGaff are part of O2 so use their network. Brilliant reception and very cheap!

  • jamesgibson279 James Gibson (@jamesgibson279) reported

    @giffgaff the service in our area continues to get worse and worse cannot even get a phone signal indoors,you say everything in area is fine,when it’s really not, something is screwing up the network somewhere,missed hospital appointments etc because of this.

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

    @ProveIt78 We are an exclusively online network, so we don't have a telephone number, and we're unable to call members. We totally understand that you would like this looked into as soon as possible, and our member relations team will get back to you as soon as they can. - giffgaff Emer.
