    .@giffgaff someone has my email address associated with their two mobile numbers with you in error so I’m receiving someone else’s correspondence. I have no mobile with you. You have no customer service number so this is the only way I can think to contact you.

    @giffgaff is there a problem with your network coverage ? My network has been off since 12 noon and it’s still not back.

    @giffgaff Too late. As I work away I can’t afford to think I maybe won’t speak to my family when I need to. I am cancelling. If you could furnish me with your member service email please; I can’t seem to find that on your website. Thanks.

    @SophieEB @giffgaff @ThreeUK Giffgaff is great and when u go abroad I just buy a local sim and you still use your UK number on wats app. So much cheaper!Obviously only works if your phone is not locked to a particular network tho! X

    Hey @giffgaff I started using your network just over a year ago. Since switching I frequently experience a loss of internet connection which only re establishes after I turn my phone off and on again. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks in advance.

    Okay, so it’s not just O2. People on other networks are having issues too O2, Three, Vodafone, EE, Giffgaff with most the issues BT, Tesco Mobile & Virgin Media with a few

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

    @TomTalksCars @O2 I agree. Im on giffgaff which uses o2. Signal is shocking in many places.

    Hello @giffgaff how do I request a refund for my £12.64 unused credit? Number has been successfully ported to another provider this morning. Your chat not in the app was of no help. Can I speak to someone, please?

  • baluster57785
    Baluster (@baluster57785) reported

    @giffgaff Reference no 260617-000644. Dont tell me to activate my sim on a no reply e mail when I haven’t received one. If not sorted soon I will cancel.

  • sc2987
    Shoshanah Cohen (@sc2987) reported

    @bt_uk And if she were going to switch mobile providers, it would be to Giffgaff, as we're all with them. Not you. You should never be pushing extra services on people moving to a social tariff (or anyone, but especially those likely to be vulnerable).

    wulfsage (@wulfsagemakes) reported

    @robj3d3 @ThreeUK Yeah giffgaff been just paying the minimum sim only plan since before I left UK, never had issues. If you don’t pay it for a few months they threaten to close it.

    @giffgaff Is that every day the mast is down or having issues because this seems to happen quite often 🤔

    @MaryKenny4 The only time you get contacted by say giffgaff as an example is when have not topped a number for so long and even then they don't phone, they'll text or email. To prevent Junk Calls, never give your main number to anyone other than F&F, Dr, Bank, Work/School, or get 2sim phone

    @MarkSparx2 If the live chat has cut off Mark, and you've been referred to our agents, it may be that the keywords used suggested an account issue and not a phone issue. Please try this again to speak to our live chat team. - giffgaff Jeanette
