  • VienneseStrudel Viennese Strudel (@VienneseStrudel) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thanks. The problem she has is that her new card's start date is 07/2022 so it won't work before then... so how does she pay for her recurring plan if giffgaff won't accept her current, valid card, and her new one isn't valid until after her payment date?

  • luetchyboy Craig (@luetchyboy) reported

    @giffgaff myself and my partner recently joined you guys. The service is shocking. Slow speeds regularly and unable to use apps at times. Is this a regular thing?

    @AnnamacB They piggyback Threes network. I've only had bad things with 3 but totally a personal experience obviously. Voxi/Giffgaff have been my staples lately. 30 day rolling contract and buying your own phone

  • Roberta9996 Roberta Sutton (@Roberta9996) reported

    @giffgaff I have written to that support place before. Did NOT get any reply

  • elusivemoment Maya Stone (@elusivemoment) reported

    @giffgaff hi I have had massive issues for the last fortnight in KT9 and been unable to connect without wifi. What's the deal?

  • jon87152705 Jon Jon (@jon87152705) reported

    @giffgaff DPD Has just collected the apple phone He did not give me my Samsung S10+ Phone as he did not have it. If my S10+ does not arrive today I wish to decline your offer of £50 compensation and demand £100 in compensation for this awful experience.

    @axemonkey Try fixing it by telling giffgaff a brand new email address, and then once they've sent something to that tell them the correct one again. Maybe that will shake some broken config out at their end.

  • DrHydeous David Cantrell (@DrHydeous) reported

    @axemonkey Did you have any mail forwarding configured with Giffgaff? DNS caching wouldn't normally be an issue after that long.
