    Hi @giffgaff we're trying to use a goodybag on one of our old phones to get us connectivity while OpenReach fix the line after a car took down a pole in our village, but the new sim we have just put in a spare phone and added a 100GB Golden Goodybag to is only giving us 3G... 1/2

  • themiguelasso Miguel(aso) Ramírez (@themiguelasso) reported

    @giffgaff hello! I have been most of the day with no service in Yorkshire. Is there any network problem?

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @incrediblylate @giffgaff I've never seen a solution in the forum but giffgaff may be able to come up with one for you. The French 081 number is equivalent to an 0845/0875 here in the UK so there's 2 separate charges to call it HSBC's charge + giffgaff's one which don't work when it's a foreign number.

  • Onebiskuit PaulM 🇮🇪🇫🇷🇨🇦🚲🐟 (@Onebiskuit) reported

    @drmatthewhardy We alighted on Giffgaff originally because my daughter was in Canada termtime, and wiith Giffgaff you have a permanent mobile number but can buy a month’s service ( a “Goodybag”) at a time without renewing, so she just paid £10 each month she was back home, for about 10gb.

  • incrediblylate Su Something (@incrediblylate) reported

    @giffgaff why can't I call 0810 numbers to France. I have £20+ in credit on top of my goodybag. I've added +33 in front of it but still doesn't work. Help please, I urgently need to call this number. Is there are a setting to change??
