  Chris (@C17Y_CJ) reported 2 minutes ago from Bury, England

  @giffgaff my sons phone signal has totally disappeared. I can’t ring him, it’s not even going to answerphone. His WiFi is all ok though. Can you help?

  Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported 5 minutes ago 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.

  @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 😡

  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.

  EJ (@ejtheginger) reported 38 minutes ago 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...

  Fred (@fred6279) reported 5 minutes ago

  @cyrilnotes @Fremond_ Go to an MVNO network. Essentially of them except Giffgaff have the same priority as regular customers on the main network. Voxi uses Vodafone and Three and is very cheap so I recommend that.

  BabyofAfrica® (@BabyofAfrica) reported 6 minutes ago

  Currently a free agent in search of a new club... Done with Vodafone after 12 years of service agreement 🤝 they won't offer me a new handset. Started with One2one in 2005 and thinking of going back to EE now. Giffgaff - tried them years ago, not bad... O2, never a fan of this company, they're too strict... Lycamobile, I like them and still do but I want big name... same goes for Lebara. My proposal: 💣 Unlimited UK mins & Texts I don't care about this, I'm more concerned about data... 💣 150GB to Unlimited Data £20/ month max... I need this ASAP...

  Chris Tait (@chris_tait) reported 6 minutes ago

  @O2 @giffgaff hi, I’ve been experiencing service issues on the giffgaff network in Stowmarket area for nigh on a week now. Service status on both your pages state there’s a phone mast issue but should be able to do all the usual things, however you can’t. ETA on fix?

• 
  The Chumpasaurus (@TheGrumpasaurus) reported 7 minutes ago

  @giffgaff that's it **** off. I'm getting a couple of EE sims as your app, your service and YOU are ******* useless. A waste of ******* time and effort. ******* clowns.

• 
  Kyah_Music (@KyahMusic) reported 15 minutes ago

  @EE I reckon that it's a combination of you both. Yesterday it would not work on EE iPhone but got to login on my Giffgaff iPhone but missed the 7:30pm deadline since it asked me to update app first with only minutes to go. Only once have I had the problem on GG, but 4 times with EE

  @giffgaff Tbh I didn’t chose @virginmedia because their reviews are poor. I should’ve known better as it was still their engineer who failed to show up. #Frustrating, but for #giffgaff not to have any means of rectifying the issue is unacceptable. I am being penalised as a result.

  Jay Smith (Sonic/Dragonwolf) (@DragonWolf5589) reported 18 minutes ago

  @tescomobile Says no issues. The problem is it been going on for several months. Reported again for now. Just odd my friends on giffgaff and o2 never have issues and tesco uses the o2 network and I have to use their phone or switch an a pay as you go sim on different network for data

  Pete Lawson (@stitch_83) reported 18 minutes ago

  Raised a complaint with @giffgaff on 20th Feb, despite constant chasing still can’t send messages, access voicemail or receive calls… agent responses just say thank you for your patience please bear with us. Really poor customer service ….
