    @PaulbernalUK Two operators of which I have experience - GiffGaff and Three Ireland - have for years placed a limit on roaming data on plans with very high data allowances. Giffgaff by charging 3.6p per mb over 20gb/m, Three by slowing the data rate right down. It's quite legal under EU law.

    @kirky0110 Your provider is Giffgaff, you have no contact or contract with O2, other than it’s the network Giffgaff use. I am no fan of O2 either, but Giffgaff have been superb

    @BBCNews What else do you expect from BT, absolutely rip off merchants. They took over Plusnet and now they are just as bad as them now. Switch to a Giffgaff or Tesco’s mobile for a far superior customer service.

    @Sutoretchii @O2 @SMARTYMobileUK I used giffgaff a few years ago which runs on O2 and it was fine, been using voxi since which is on Vodafone and its great. Tried smarty once, could hardly get a signal anywhere. Awful

  • WorthyOnTheWeb Claire Worthington - Ranty McRantface She/Her (@WorthyOnTheWeb) reported

    I only came on twitter to whine about @giffgaff periodically resetting my voicemail back to the chirpy northern bloke without warning - I’ve been with them for years, never understood it and wish they’d pack it in

  • headbarnesy gerry barnes (@headbarnesy) reported

    @kirky0110 Have a look at Giffgaff (on O2 network) they have a number of different monthly plans, no contract. Not a single problem in all the time I have been with them

    @EE when I tether my Android head unit to my phone. I don't seem to be able to use the data on the head unit. How do I fix this. I've tried with a giffgaff sim in my phone and it works.

  • NYRO_CaroleAH Carole Houston (@NYRO_CaroleAH) reported

    @DPD @giffgaff Still waiting for a response regarding a handset that should have been delivered on Monday! 4 days without any response! Appalling customer service!
