  • 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.

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    So glad my backup unlimited @giffgaff data has expired just in time for @virginmedia to go down. Sod's law. #FirstWorldProblems

  • 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

  • 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...

    Anyone got issues with giffgaff?

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @giffgaff Never that's me 😛🐱

  • 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.

    @LordNotix giffgaff, I buy my phone and I'll never go back

  • FannibalisticR Bløødy 𖤐 Ghøulish (@FannibalisticR) reported

    @thebandGHOST You will need to put credit on your phone network account, I have GiffGaff so it didn’t work even if I have a good bag already.

  • smileyjam James Bailey (@smileyjam) reported

    @giffgaff I would rather continue this discussion here. Your support team seem to have stopped responding after 2 messages. I feel like the effort you have put in responding here is more than it would have taken to update my account to stop the scammers sending me these texts.

  • z52782 z52782 (@z52782) reported

    @SulaymanHussein @giffgaff Sorry to hear that, what seems to be the problem you are having with @giffgaff ?

  • solarwhite100 Close Cover Before Striking #thishill 💜 (@solarwhite100) reported

    @giffgaff has been awful over the last couple of days - is it going to get better? PS posting on EE cos can't get a signal

  • iamsajaaa Saja (@iamsajaaa) reported

    What’s going on with your service @giffgaff - literally second day in a row where my data hasn’t worked

  • ahren_armstrong Ahren Armstrong (@ahren_armstrong) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thank you for letting me know this information. There is a terribly bad storm so I believe that what the problem was when it comes to the mast

  • daycoder hywel (@daycoder) reported

    @Snaptophobic Might not be what you want, but I usually buy refurbs from giffgaff and haven’t had a bad one. They start at £79 for a scruffy but fruity one.

  • cris_clopot Dr. Cristina Clopot (@cris_clopot) reported

    @DrJennie_Morgan I’d say Now Tv broadband, it’s the low end service provided by Sky but you can choose only broadband, or broadband and landline. We have decent connection with them. Also for mobile phoned giffgaff works on O2 network but with month to month deals.

  • isaacsimon7 Isaac Simon (@isaacsimon7) reported

    @giffgaff have had no signal since Friday afternoon - help! I use for business - it’s critical. I am speaking with someone via email but it’s slow and need resolved asap #giffgaff #customerservice
