  • AdrianBeeby Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUK Data is as ‘okay’ if you could ever get a signal but then prices got crazy. What a nightmare giving notice was - the call operators just won’t give in and let you simply cancel. Moved to @giffgaff and been happy ever since. @giffgaff you are awesome.

  • LadyEkaterina The Everlasting Concubine (@LadyEkaterina) reported from Manchester, England

    @giffgaff Hello lovely giffgaff. I am not a customer but my chum is and he’s run out of data. I would like to buy him some data but I can’t see how to do that. Can you help please?

  • AntBonney Anthony Bonney (@AntBonney) reported from Bolton, England

  • gcat1169 Gordon Catterall (@gcat1169) reported from Bryn, England

    @giffgaff. Made complaint via email 9.7. Told a reply within 5 days for reply. It is now 28.7. Any chance of contact being made. First time I’ve had an issue with yrselves. Lack of communication a second bigger issue

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    I didn’t want to change mobile provider. But I was told this was the only way I could keep my service bill at a level I could afford. I was very happy with the PAYG service I had from @giffgaff, and did not want to change, but it was that or a surcharge.

  • RangeHeating R🔥nge Heating (@RangeHeating) reported from Stockport, England

    @giffgaff Doesn’t get to the root of the problem though. And it doesn’t help prevent it happening to others who may not be as savvy and may fall for it. @Ofcom

  • MissMcLovin84 Nicola McGee (@MissMcLovin84) reported from Manchester, England

    @giffgaff absolute disgusting service from yourselves and the repair team. Informing us by letter that my 12 year old had damaged his phone - does this go for my Dad with the same phone, he is 66 years old. Couldn't admit responsibility, think trading standards 😡

  • ejtheginger EJ (@ejtheginger) reported from Blackburn, England

    Tales of Mother: So my mum calls me up and asks me to 'fix her phone'. What she means is that she has a second phone she wants everything transferring to, and has got the pak code for her to take her number to GiffGaff. I rock up...

  • clafipam Fiorella Parra-Mujica (@clafipam) reported

    @giffgaff Hi! Yes, that's what I've done but the agents can't find a solution to my problem. I can't access my email/bank account because it has an OTP through the phone. I have just sent a new request to fix the problem.

  • Jobjohn (((JD))) 💙🌻 (@Jobjohn) reported

    Why @giffgaff so poor around train stations/ central Manchester/ along train lines in built up areas? Updating thread to follow…

  • MarPerRodr Marcos Perez (@MarPerRodr) reported

    @GeorgeMonbiot @VodafoneUK My advice to everybody is get a SIM-only monthly deal like Giffgaff. Much better value, they charge a monthly amount to your card and you can cancel when you want. Buy phone separately.

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

    @Lagnezmo17 It sure is, Leonardo. We are a pay as you go network and do not offer contracts. It is possible to set the goodybag to automatically recur each month, and this can be cancelled anytime - giffgaff Jade

  • gstarkman Glenn Starkman (@gstarkman) reported

    @giffgaff you suddenly stopped accepting my credit card for automatic monthly renewals and won’t let me use any other card. I am flying tonight and urgently need mobile service restarted

  • anoopsivarajan Anoop S (@anoopsivarajan) reported

    @O2 I took a pay monthly e-sim this week and ported my number from giffgaff. I don't have any signal since then and I can see correct mobile number in the my o2 section. I have sent my number in DM. Could someone take a look, please?

  • Chrissy_imc Christina (@Chrissy_imc) reported

    @giffgaff Ok so can I cancel my goodie bag as the only reason I joined was for the data whilst I’m in Europe in august. I won’t have access to wifi and 5gb won’t be enough

  • louisamato321 louisamato (@louisamato321) reported

    @giffgaff I bought one of your sims in a time of need after being mugged and my phone being stolen, now i’ve found out that you’ve continued charging me despite me never signing up for a reoccurring deal, £40 down the drain, for a plan i never asked for or needed, not happy.

  • Lissykl87 Melissa Klonaridis (@Lissykl87) reported

    @giffgaff Please contact me. I am now £28 down and still have no signal!!! @O2

  • TheWhiteWolfXBO BJGerman (@TheWhiteWolfXBO) reported

    @giffgaff hi for the past 2 days our mobile data has been incredibly slow. It takes ages to load a simple web page. It was fine for a few hours then went slow again. I just paid for unlimited data due to out broadband being down and I can't use my data due being 0.10mps.
