    @PaulKeeganGino @giffgaff There's a cap of 5gb a month I think. Not too bad unless you're streaming.

    Hi @giffgaff, poor data service in E17 7jx. Any idea when this will be improved?

    @jfnew21 We do understand this is inconvenient for you Joe. Upgrading work is being carried out all over the UK, to help manage the needs of the congestion in the area. We just do not know when the issues in your area will be resolved we're afraid. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @giffgaff Hello I cannot login, I no longer have my giff gaff Sim. I'm in Australia and I want you to stop charging me. What do I do?

  • amandafclark Amanda 🇺🇦🌻 (@amandafclark) reported

    Look @giffgaff thanks for the extra 5gb but i never use the first 5gb. Can’t you do a goodybag plan thats less than £10 and more than £6 ? 1gb is not enough and 15 is too much :(

    @Chinchillazllla Emojis are not necessary or important. You can express yourself equally well with words. They use bandwidth and clog up the internet. In the UKs GiffGaff network you are charged extra for a message containing an emoji. There are probably other networks with the same rule.
