  • 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.

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @giffgaff Never that's me 😛🐱

  • 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 😡

  • C17Y_CJ Chris (@C17Y_CJ) reported from Bury, England

  • 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.

  • Caseymufc1 Kai Casey (@Caseymufc1) reported from Tyldesley, England

    Giffgaff must be down tonight, not heard out from them ****** tramps

  • 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...

    @giffgaff The network always seems to be busy that’s the problem connection is terrible 95% of the time 💩👎🏾

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

    @jonabluse Hi there. When your number transfers over to another network, you will lose any remaining giffgaff credit and any payback points you've accumulated. The account will then also become unusable. - giffgaff Tasbiya

  • tullytalking Sarah Tully (@tullytalking) reported

    @giffgaff urgent - my phone has been disconnected and I cannot log in to my account to request help. Please advise assp

  • ktb2102 Kate (@ktb2102) reported

    @giffgaff Website says mast is out so service is down - I didn’t think to check before purchasing as my main mobile is on the o2 network and is working fine

  • JJBooker J Booker (@JJBooker) reported

    signal on my @virginmedia mobile is now non existent in the house and only slightly better outside. Yet still shows 4G sign for data. May have to switch. Other phones on @giffgaff performing much better 4-5 bar.

  • O2 O2 in the UK (@O2) reported

    @alecia2020B If you have an O2 contract, as long as you have the PAC code from giffgaff we can move that number onto your O2 number, meaning the O2 number you have currently would be taken over with the giffgaff number.Does this help?

  • purple_dragon25 kelly (@purple_dragon25) reported

    @giffgaff Well... Having had a bad nights sleep and not one but two nosebleeds (including one gusher) as I have weak blood vessels in my nose and all I have to do is sneeze to trigger one, I'd say it was pretty rubbish, tbh.

  • freedom92979546 freeland👑🦁 (@freedom92979546) reported
