  • 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

    @giffgaff. Made complaint via email 9.7. Told a reply within 5 days for reply. It is now 28.7. Any chance of contact being made. First time I’ve had an issue with yrselves. Lack of communication a second bigger issue

  • 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.

  • AntBonney Anthony Bonney (@AntBonney) reported from Bolton, England

    My WiFi goes down so much it's unbelievable, Didn't have this much trouble with #Sky. @virginmedia get your act together, thank the lord for @giffgaff 4g.

  • 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...

  • C17Y_CJ Chris (@C17Y_CJ) reported 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?

  • 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 😡

  • 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

    @Yorksims @Carolin71106072 @giffgaff There is nothing new near to the house that we can tell but I agree there must be some sort of issue and i dont think for a moment both phones have gone strange at once.

  • boringscience1 Winter is coming (@boringscience1) reported

    @giffgaff Wow! More of a problem of him not knowing how to use an iPhone to be fair.

  • 1BenBaller Ben Baller (@1BenBaller) reported

    @Teresastorey81 @giffgaff Hi Teresa, when you close your account all payment methods are removed. Is it possible you have another another account? I would suggest calling the bank to cancel future payments being made.

    Has anyone else been experiencing very bad signal on Giffgaff lately? I have 4G+ in Glasgow city centre but the internet pages don't or take ages to appear #giffgaff (can't even attached a screenshot to a tweet, it won't download)

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

    @LauraKing14 We are a web based network provider, which means we don't have a direct number. The best way to get in contact is through our website via ask an agent. - giffgaff Dana

    @giffgaff @scathach72003 @scathach72003 I hope this is sorted in the next hour or so. Leaving a disabled person with NO emergency communication could be life threatening.

    @Yorksims @Carolin71106072 @giffgaff Am very upset at the lack of assistance from GiffGaff. Just going round in circles and didn't even seem to read the first complaint properly.
