    @_Jampot Try Smarty (5G, 3 network). Much better reception than Giffgaff (but I am in Manchester).

  • HannahAMont Maybe: hannah montana (@HannahAMont) reported

    Anyone else on @giffgaff unable to make calls? It’s not the phone bc this phone is relatively new and it happened on my old phone, too. A replacement sim didn’t help. It’s not all of the time but too frequent.

  • bunn_barbara Barbara Bunn (@bunn_barbara) reported

    @giffgaff you are the only network that doesn't offer a worldwide roaming package. Why not?

  • AnnielouRainbow 🌈★ AnneLouise ★🎀 (@AnnielouRainbow) reported

    @giffgaff GUYS I’ve made a mess…. I ordered a new sim as changed phones so need a different size, I’ve activated it but didn’t activate it under my current account! Any help to transfer my number??

    @Tankslider @O2 Doesn't surprise me, they’re so used to customer churn they know they’ll just win another defector from elsewhere, and as a good chunk of the MVNOs use o2s network (inc Giffgaff which is owned by o2 anyway) there’s a strong chance whatever you do in a huff you end up paying them

    Which phone carrier has the best signal? I use giffgaff (shamefully) since 10 years ago and it's time to change because their coverage is terrible.

    @leithshorebook1 Are you looking to join giffgaff with a number from another network and purchase a monthly SIM bundle? - giffgaff Jade

  • Shazstar_11 Shazstar (@Shazstar_11) reported

    @giffgaff @HannahAMont It happens a lot with mine as well and when I try and call my child who is on the Same network, will not connect!?

  • HTTR_UK Anders Clausen 🇩🇰 ❤️ 🇺🇦 (@HTTR_UK) reported

    @giffgaff Is there any particular reason why you don't let your customers log on to their accounts abroad? How are we supposed to buy more data/goodybags when we run out? Yes, I know how to use a VPN but that still seems stupid to have to do in order to access your account.
