    @SpeedbirdFan Hi. It can take up to 24 hours from activation for the services to be fully up and running. During this time we recommend that you reboot the phone off and on again a few times, to help speed this up - giffgaff Jade

  • jasonbould Jason Bould (@jasonbould) reported

    @giffgaff To be fair, I have not, but thanks for pointing me in that direction. I'll give it a bash. The WiFi calling is a serious issue though at home, there's barely any signal on any network but at least with WiFi calling I'm covered.

    Anybody else experiencing @giffgaff getting worse every day or is it just me? Can't get reception anywhere considering they are meant to use 02 network.

    @MartinSLewis I’m paying £8 a month and my wife £6 a month. We don’t want to move because we are with GiffGaff and we like them, Sure, we could save a few quid but it’s really not a problem. We’re happy with GiffGaff.

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @alexbloor @Johndevine @giffgaff Nope. They won’t. It’s at trial and they won’t issue any new ones. They’ll replace existing ones if you swap handset but that’s it. It exists but is still in trial stage. But they do exist.

    @giffgaff Are you planing on adding visual voice mail any time soon? Just joined your network and think I might be leaving at the end of the month if not, calling the voice mail is SUCH a pain in comparison.

    @MartinSLewis £6 per month with giffgaff because it's good service and community

    @MartinSLewis Please note that price alone for a virtual network does not take priority into account. Example: giffgaff is a virtual network provider on O2's network. But the moment that there is contention (lots of people using it), O2 will give their own direct customers priority. 1/2
