    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...

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

    @MDOG_Manchester @O2 @ThreeUK @VodafoneUK @bt_uk @EE @giffgaff @Plusnet @SkyUK @Tesco I’m with @EE and never had an issue

  • 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

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

    @giffgaff Contacted you EARLY July re complaint, eventual customer service response but no response to my complaint. Asked for pac code and was given it and told any credit on account would be lost!!! This credit is what Ive been complaning about for months. OFTEL NEXT STOP

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • OvC_Mikey [OvC] Magic Mikey 🤭😜 (@OvC_Mikey) reported from Bolton, England

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

  • 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 😡

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

    @giffgaff never had a problem.. Today im having a big problem. No internet. I use as part of my business. Yes i have data in my goody bag.

  • LadyEkaterina The Everlasting Concubine (@LadyEkaterina) reported from Manchester, England

  • RoddamNick Nick Roddam (@RoddamNick) reported

    @giffgaff trying to send phone back for a repair but an original return that I later changed my mind about is preventing me from raising. Please help.

  • Siksnyte 📚Bluebell (@Siksnyte) reported

    @giffgaff Hi! I'm abroad since Dec and the last few weeks there is barely any signal at all, I can't call or use internet (out of 9GB I purched, I only used 342MB, because nothing is working)... It's almost always on "emergency calls" only, please help with the issue!

  • Monsieur_Green Craig Green (@Monsieur_Green) reported

    hey @giffgaff what's your process for testing refurb phones? Because twice now you've sent us phones with problems that render the phone useless, and would be spotted immediately if they had been tested at all.

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

  • BrazenDwarf7402 Ray 💙 (@BrazenDwarf7402) reported

    When did @giffgaff change their voicemail message? When I was a customer they had a nice soothing Geordie accent. I'm calling a lot of giffgaff users as part of a project I'm doing atm...

  • LoganBanks2 Logan Banks (@LoganBanks2) reported

    @EE Anyone joining EE needs their head checking. Crap customer service. Poor loyalty scheme (with them for 5 years and still wanted money for upgrade) non competitive deals. Do what I did and join @giffgaff

  • Siksnyte 📚Bluebell (@Siksnyte) reported

    @giffgaff I tried this many times, it takes a long time to connect to any of the networks, and when I do, the connection stays for only a few minutes and I'm left with 'emergency calls' only again. So, unfotunately, this doesn't help. I also tried to turn off and on my phone many times..

    @giffgaff I need your help to unlock my new phone because my giffgaff sim don’t work in it
