    @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 😡

    @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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Anthony_J_Perry AnthonyPerry (@Anthony_J_Perry) reported

    @giffgaff Thank you Ann. I understand it can take up to 24 hours to get a reply for help; not good if I need to fix a problem now. Hopefully we can get this sorted soon or I may have to find another provider (a shame as I've *loved* GiffGaff to date!)

  • rachierach100 Rachel Longshaw (@rachierach100) reported

    @O2 shocking customer service whilst trying to port my 2 kids numbers onto 02 from Giffgaff, took over 30 minutes to try to do 1 & that couldn't be completed as told it wouldn't happen now until Tuesday. Having to call back on Monday to start again! Don't you want new customers

    @giffgaff This is the escalation team!!! This is result of 7 days of waiting after it getting it escalated! PLEASE LOOK AT THE SITUATION FOR MORE THAN 10 secs before responding, just a perfect example of the state of your customer service...

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff Yeah, I often tell my pals, if they have an emergency I'll get back to them in a week. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. 8 DAYS AND STILL NOT RESOLVED. STILL NEVER HAD A REAL-TIME CONVERSATION WITH ANYONE!
