    @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

    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...

    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 😡

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

    After 6.5 dedicated years to the sim and network @giffgaff i broke up with it today. It hurt. But @gifgaff you left me no choice. The last 3 months I have suffered in ordeal I complained and persevered. But nothing changed. The direct debit kept going but all I got was sorry.

    @JazzieBum Hi Jasmine 👋 When did you lose service on your GiffGaff sim card? If the port is going through today, it should be completed by 6pm. Please restart your phone with your O2 sim card inserted at regular intervals until your signal returns.

    TractorJem (@TractorJem) reported

    @giffgaff .@giffgaff that’s an understatement! 2 phones unusable. Your packaging is very very poor.

    @giffgaff The Fixer by Brent Morgan. I'm someone who does the fixing for everyone but I never fix myself... I don't know how to. I'm just so broken and it's only made worse with being so poorly.

    @giffgaff After 5 happy years, I’m thinking of switching providers. My mobile data does not work. Anywhere. When out about it does not work. Wherever, even built up areas, signal is dire. Internet is non-existent! I’ve simply had enough of it

    @VOXI_UK need to complain about your unacceptable service, as I transferred my number from giffgaff since last Wednesday and I have no functioning mobile phone number since and I cannot get anything done from two factor authentication to calling an emergency! Great job Voxi…🤬
