    @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 😡

    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

  • 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

  • Annihilatorlee Lee andrews (@Annihilatorlee) reported from Bury, England

    @giffgaff I have narrowed down the problem. When i go into radcliffe within a certain perimiter its total internet blackout. When i. Come out it returns as if there was no problem. Im a taxi driver. I have never had any issue like this with all the years ive been with you. My Three

  • 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.

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

  • 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

  • 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...

  • miked36 Mike d (@miked36) reported

    @giffgaff how long dies it take for your recycle team to send a phone back? You really are a bag of ****. 24 hours to answer a question and then dont give a straight answer. Delaying it further.every heard of live chats in these modern times?

  • PufferfishTech Lost In Tech (@PufferfishTech) reported

    @digituba are you on the same network? I know giffgaff = O2 but they only give giffgaff really crap phone call quality and slow speed.

  • JohnRouker Sherlock Poirot-Gently 💙 #supportnhs 🌈🦊 (@JohnRouker) reported

    Broadband is out I'm surviving on mobile hot spot hey giffgaff/o2 can you maybe expand you're 5g areas/ boost the 4g signal so erh it works without interruption

  • miked36 Mike d (@miked36) reported

    @giffgaff So still no reply to my question. Why does it take so long? You really are the worst company I gave ever dealt with

  • MaryKnightArt Mary Knight: Allsorts (@MaryKnightArt) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, I know you allow tethering but the @Apple support guy suggested that they did not!

  • Mammachef1 Mammachef (@Mammachef1) reported

    @mouthwaite @EE Don't use contract phones. Buy a phone the best you can afford and pay insurance for it. Use giffgaff (O2 network) They advise you if you are on wrong tariff for your use ie. I was buying a goodybag costing £20pm they emailed me suggesting I use £10pm. Amazing company

  • LongExposures Andrew Whyte (@LongExposures) reported

    Plus side of being a @virginmedia customer is that when the home wifi drops and I'm forced onto my phone's 4G- which happens multiple times a day- I get to enjoy the speed & dependability of my @giffgaff mobile service. #GlassHalfFull

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

    @giffgaff Clearly this isn't based on your customer service... 17hours since I last heard from your "agent"
