    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...

    What is going on with mobile networks at the moment for the last couple of months my signal is so bad @giffgaff and when I say bad I mean non existent can't make phone calls or text

  • 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 😡

    @AurieleFayme @giffgaff I cant explain how much I love my phone network 😂

  • 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.

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

    @giffgaff is there a problem at the moment; don’t seem to be able to login via the app or online.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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

    Hi @giffgaff can you send me the instructions of how to get a refund from my account credit , unfortunately due to your service not being available to me due a faulty mast I’ve had to change provider , shame because up until then the service was good

  • MattskiMK
    Matt (@MattskiMK) reported

    @PeterCrouchPod got me thinking! My loyalty to @VodafoneUK is being abused. Their charge increase is #phoneshithousery & for a 5 phone family with me being 20 years in maybe time for a change #onenetworkplayer 3 phones out of contract - where do i go? Is @giffgaff the solution?

  • guidoacasa

    @SatanicTaxi @giffgaff @EE For the information of others. No extra help to me having a Giffgaff second sim because my main one is O2.

  • AKolil
    Adil (@AKolil) reported

    @techtoby__ Get an eSim from a different network and switch around when the internets slow or down. I’ve got unlim EE physical sim and giffgaff eSim as a backup👌

  • restorersteve2
    Steviedibbs (@restorersteve2) reported

    @O2 your app isn’t working properly. I’ve made 3 attempts to upgrade this evening. “Oops something went wrong” has been your response each time. Please fix it, giffgaff is becoming very tempting.

  • SugrPuft
    d. (@SugrPuft) reported

    @AbsoluteLeaNot @thecapitalistw Literally, joined Giffgaff to save £2/month, big error. Voxis signal is goated, just ordered an ESim.

    @giffgaff are you having network problems? My data has been down all day.

  • GuyEmerson
    Guy Emerson (@GuyEmerson) reported

    @giffgaff Just give up. So many excuses for an appalling service. Just think ‘customer’ and take accountability, not how you can avoid doing anything. @giffgaff

    Daniel Jupp (@DanielJupp38418) reported

    @giffgaff What a waste of time, guys don’t even bother they just send you a pre typed message telling you their signal is fine despite all wee people moaning about it, but yeah it’s fine sure sure

    @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica Virgin Media are 💯 with prompt online support. Always have been. I'm not sure any of the others will reply, at all...
