  @thomasforth I think they are, in a way. This year I made the mistake of moving from O2 to Lebara, because it was cheaper. The signal is terrible, and despite it being on the Vodafone network, I get a “less bars” than colleagues who are on Vodafone. It seems to me the MVNOs, like Lebara and GiffGaff, are ways of selling less bandwidth for cheaper money.

  @giffgaff @Ofcom giffgaff never clearly informed customers of any specific time limit, such as 14 days or 30 days. This practice is completely misleading and appears to be a deliberate attempt to take advantage of consumers, amounting to unfair practice/consumer fraud.@Ofcom

  @dbcxptures i've had no issues with voxi and i've been with them for years (it's a little expensive if you want a realistically useable amount of data though, imo, compared to giffgaff for e.g. it's worth it for the consistency in signal/availability though)

  @AvonandsomerRob I think there’s a fine line these days between PAYG and rolling contract. For instance is a Giffgaff sim registered in your name and set to auto top up from your bank every month truly PAYG or is it really a rolling contract ? The interesting figures would relate to the amount of PAYG sims that are not registered to a legitimate name and topped up via voucher paid for by cash. While I am sure the above does not automatically mean questionable usage if you could combine that data with number of sims that appear on the network and drop of after a few weeks, maybe a month or so never to be seen again you may have some indication of criminal usage.

  After reviewing my complaint, giffgaff has officially refused to reinstate my number and has also refused to refund my remaining balance, including the £10 I topped up shortly before my account was disconnected. I understand that operators have roaming policies, but I believe customers should receive a clear warning before being allowed to top up if their account is already at risk of disconnection. Losing both the service and the newly added credit feels unfair. They also advised me to request a PAC within 30 days if I want to keep my number. Has anyone else had the same experience with giffgaff? I'd be interested to hear how your case was handled. #giffgaff #Roaming #ConsumerRights
