    @giffgaff why is sim only allowing me to make emergency calls

  • KayHus93 Kai Hus (@KayHus93) reported

    @giffgaff Hi due to bad signal issues I have left the network last month. I didn’t use my number at all. Yet somehow this morning I had been charged! I’m very disappointed to find that a network to which I have used for so long could do me like that. No loyalty. Thanks.

    @RobertJKidd You just need to select 'continue' under not a member, and follow the on screen instructions. Whenever you're asked for an incident number, you can select 'I don't have an incident number', and then 'Make a complaint' to continue. - giffgaff Emer.

    Hmm, the Internet is doing its thing again and being absolute ****. Sky calls it "Superfast," if that is the case then why is my phone's 4G sometimes double the speed of broadband? Sky: 15-24 Mbps GiffGaff 4G+: 15-40 Mbps Now tethered to my phone as the dropouts are increasing.

    @Mike63951575 @giffgaff @Klarna I read your reply to my post in the community (I'm woodyuk) and quite agree,members who've bought phones in the past via Ratesetter and never missed a payment for instance are now being declined by Klarna which is bad news for giffgaff phone sales.

    My #GiffGaff Sim arrived yesterday. A friend told me how to put it in my old IPhone 6. I prodded & poked the keyhole, but nothing happened. Not changing my network soon obviously!

    @giffgaff No one replying via email. Phone still not working. Can’t make/receive calls. Network still dropping out. Still taking 20 minutes to switch on. Any chance of a response or phone that works?
