  • pachallis Peter Challis (@pachallis) reported from Fareham, England

    @notmany4benny @carterBFC @SamsungUK One of the disadvantages of living in rural locations. At least you must have beautiful views instead. I had problems with Three and I live 200m from a transmitter where I get flaky voice calls. Apparently I need a Three supplied phone to get VOLTE. Currently on O2/Giffgaff.

  • ChrisOverthrow Chris Overthrow (@ChrisOverthrow) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @brendonvbone I was with giffgaff (o2) and its bollocks. Now with Vodafone. I get decent signal apart from half time. At half time I can get some internet but it's very slow. That's unavoidable with 18k people all using their phones though.

    Moved from Giffgaff to Vodafone. Never realised how terrible Giffgaff is. Actually thought that mobile data was supposed to be crap. Total revelation moving away

    @giffgaff ill like to speak with your help line how do i get the number to call. I recharged a few days ago and all my monies are gone

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @mattjoshholder @giffgaff If your question was re the ability to pre order via giffgaff it's not a service they've ever offered,that's why you can sign up for notifications of when it's available to buy but not pre order it.

  • lowthaaa ꜱᴇʙ (@lowthaaa) reported

    Has anybody bought a @GiffGaff refurbished phone? Outweighing my options and they’re between the refurbished iPhone 13 Pro on GiffGaff refurbs or pre-ordering the iPhone 14. Help!

  • jmoulfrancis J'Moul Francis (@jmoulfrancis) reported

    @giffgaff payment systems are down or something?

  • PManky Paul Manktelow (@PManky) reported

    @giffgaff unable to buy new goodybag, looks like Adyens 3DS server is down as cannot complete authentication. Hoping you haven’t taken my money as tried on a couple of occasions. Maybe time for a payment provider that can support your needs?

  • StevenNUFC 🅂🅃🄴 ⚫⚪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@StevenNUFC) reported

    @giffgaff is the network down I haven't had any signal all day.

  • EmVicW Emily Wearmouth (@EmVicW) reported

    @giffgaff how long should I expect to wait for a reply to a support request? My son's SIM seems to have been cut off and I urgently need to top it up and get it running again

  • slowcarrots slowcarrots (@slowcarrots) reported

    @giffgaff Data been down for a few days now. My goodybag is full. This has serious consequences for me and my work etc. I am unbelievably appalled. Why is this? And when will it be fixed?

  • RoryMarland Rory Marland (@RoryMarland) reported

    @giffgaff with the new iPhone only supporting eSim, do you plan to support this feature? If not I suspect you’re going to loose a sizeable amount of customers! #iPhone14
