    @campbellclaret @kathy_c00l Check the terms of your provider. In the case of mine (giffgaff), roaming charges will apply to usage beyond my monthly bundle which, in practice, will mean data usage above 3gb (I *never* use that much).

    @LisaDicks03 @giffgaff Lisa there’s a place down the road from me in Tunbridge Wells that gives away pay as you go SIM cards. There are loads. Vodafone is a popular one there. Could grab you some and send in the post? Or maybe contact them and see if they will send to you?

    @giffgaff That's kind of disappointing, I've been with giffgaff since 2009 and have several referrals, it seems whenever issue comes up there isn't much customer care, I know you have policies against refunding goodybags but that's probably how you manage to keep the price down to start.

    @giffgaff I barely get more than a bar of coverage these days. The network coverage checker says a mast is down nearby, which has been the case before. Can we get it fixed once and for all, please? Might as well go to Three.

  • 1BenBaller Ben Baller (@1BenBaller) reported

    @Eltidostar @giffgaff Silly question, have you tried turning the phone off and on to reset network services? I had this issue recently in another part of the U.K. and that helped me.

  • LisaDicks03 Lisa ***** (@LisaDicks03) reported

    No service from @giffgaff for 2 weeks now, making our phones unusable. Giffgaff offer no help and keep changing when the “mast will be fixed” Anyone recommend an alternative mobile provider. We don’t want a contract. PAYG or 30 days please 🙏🏼

  • couscousmami Kiki 🧚🏼‍♂️ (@couscousmami) reported

    @giffgaff I got my replacement sim (previous phone was stolen) in the post today and activated it and logged in online but it just says no service. What do I do? I already tried restarting the phone but it’s the same

  • kinocarrie Carrie Dean (@kinocarrie) reported

    @giffgaff Coverage has been down in my area since Tuesday: no calls, no internet, and the website says it won't be back up until the 8th. It's frustrating to pay for a service I cannot use for nearly two weeks. Can anything be done?
