    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...

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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. 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

  • 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 😡

  • 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

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

    @giffgaff Never that's me 😛🐱

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • CatrionaRober13 Catriona Robertson (@CatrionaRober13) reported

    @BBCCiN I’m desperate to donate to the Drumathon and enter the prize draw for the Camper but neither my BT or Giffgaff phones with no restrictions and both with more than enough credit will allow me to do so. Very disappointed. BT says it’s an issue at your end.

  • KCA_Drink_Tea Keep Calm and Drink Tea ☕️ (@KCA_Drink_Tea) reported

    @giffgaff Rubbish network. So glad I switched back to @EE

  • CraftyNigel Nigel Craft (@CraftyNigel) reported from Ely, England

    @giffgaff Yes several times but they said they can’t help me till the mast is fixed the app says you may have more information by 26th November but how can you leave your customers with no connection for a month ? I paid £10 when I joined , when I’m at work I have no signal all day

  • Mykiel_B MikeKAB (@Mykiel_B) reported

    @shammi97484481 @giffgaff Dial 43430 option 2 from your phone. Does it say you have a goodybag or allowance? If you are able to as well, see if you can borrow an unlocked or locked to o2 phone to try your sim in to see if it works in there. Check service status in ur area again as they report issues late

  • steven_ncl Steven NCL (@steven_ncl) reported

    @Enefes3 @yorkshirebloke_ Can't agree on the customer service. I had a 16 year account and the deal they offered me for an IPhone 13 stunk so I bought it direct from Apple and moved to GiffGaff

  • ProfKurtMills Kurt Mills (@ProfKurtMills) reported

    @giffgaff My wife’s recurring goodybag failed. Error message says bank declined payment, but bank confirms card is fine and did not decline. Not possible to call (very bad customer service) and agent response takes 24hrs. Meanwhile, my wife cannot use her phone.

  • DL_BSL Drew Ledson (@DL_BSL) reported

    @O2 Tried the above. I think it's just poor network coverage. Looked at Giffgaff tonight. They piggy back your network offering 5g when you don't?

  • IanOnFilm 🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈📽💿Ian Smith (@IanOnFilm) reported

    In a world of poor customer service, one company that constantly overdelivers is @giffgaff Tremendous value for money and their stuff “just works”. One ad-hoc month of goodybag data at £20 for 80GB has meant non-stop Netflix and TV during > 1 week hospital stay. Fantastic value.

  • MaltMusings Brian's Malt Musings 💙 (@MaltMusings) reported

    @fishgutterfishy @giffgaff Go Android mate, much less problem.

  • So_fia0215 S (@So_fia0215) reported

    @giffgaff trying to activate my sim but it doesn't work :(
