    @MartinSLewis It’s about giffgaff, right? I have paid less than £50 per month for 4 phones for 10 plus years. Data varies - 10, 20, unlimited - but the worst that happens if you run out a week early - buy another “Goodybag” (the name they give their tariffs). Probably happened 5 times.

    @bluedonkey Oh no, this isn't good. Can you please let us know your full post code via DM, so we can check for any issues. - giffgaff Tasbiya

    @MartinSLewis Been with @giffgaff for a few years and buy a £6 goodybag monthly. Never had any issues and they have a great community forum to help if there are any problems. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

    @thepipkins @Judymal3 @ThreeUK If you want the 3 network, get a Smarty sim. I got unlimited data for £16 via MSE website (or maybe another comparison site ?? - worth shopping around). For Vodafone try VOXI, or GiffGaff for O2

  • HelenKathTom Helen K Tomlinson (@HelenKathTom) reported

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

    @tescomobile serious question, when topping up with yourselves will I need to deal with a two factor authentication hurdle or can I just sign in and top up? [been years since I was with Tesco mobile] GiffGaff are doing my head in with theirs.

    @callumstokes44 We're not aware of any issues with using top up vouchers, Callum. Have you tried dialing 43430 to add this? - giffgaff Jade

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @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

  • VModifiedMind Vince (@VModifiedMind) reported

    @alexbloor @Johndevine @giffgaff Yeah. They have an actual trial with real (hmm!) esims. I have one phone with an eSIM. In an iPhone. As I have a feeling that’s the only thing they launched the trial with. They even have support pages for it.
