    @giffgaff I ordered the Huawei P30 yesterday and you guys have sent me the P30 Pro.. My moral compass feels bad for accepting this, please advise :)

  • lisadoe24 Lisa Doe (@lisadoe24) reported from Cowbridge with Llanblethian, Wales

    @giffgaff hi! I’m buying my mother a phone for her birthday and want to get a giffgaff sim to go in it. Went to order one on your website but whose name, email, number etc do you need? Mine (buying) or hers (customer)? Thanks!

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

  • cycleoptic cycleoptic💙💚 (@cycleoptic) reported

    @giffgaff I have been getting lots of calls not ringing recently that go straight through to my answerphone, which then shows I have a message, ( and can be called and heard) but no missed call on my phone ! Is there a network problem ?

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

    @Blade_CoDMobile That's odd. We would recommend that you clear your cache, cookies and web history then try this again. You could also try using a different browser or device, as this should help - giffgaff Jade

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

    @PointsOfEllie This should be no problem Ellie, as the engineers testing the phone will remove and dispose of this upon receipt of the phone. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • ChredgarUpdates Christaldinho (@ChredgarUpdates) reported

    @RosieisaHolt Get a giffgaff data pack, I always had good signal in Edinburgh on giffgaff and the data is cheap

  • petecarson pete carson (@petecarson) reported

    @Kearney96 it's weird how plusnet and giffgaff tried that route to be more relatable using the north instead of using southern english voices and instead what happened was i came to resent the north as a whole new customer service enemy

  • ChrisDWilliams Chris Williams (@ChrisDWilliams) reported

    @Yorksims @giffgaff Thanks. Yep thought about that. But at the moment stuck on a goodybag with 10gb left on it so it will never run out before the expiry date. Credit is the only option for the rest of the holiday.

  • dollypomping . (@dollypomping) reported

    I don’t wanna call anyone who uses Giffgaff. The voicemail is horrible

  • danpalmer Dan Palmer (@danpalmer) reported

    @giffgaff Also PSA for anyone who has moved to @giffgaff and thinks their signal is terrible, for some reason they don’t enable 5G by default! If you’re on a modern phone just log in to your profile and enable it.

  • su_jo @su_jo 💙 (@su_jo) reported

    @giffgaff Hi guys - had a call from a lass who said she was Carphone Warehouse and that she'd got my number from my existing network provider. Untrue, right?

  • LyttleGV glynis lyttle (@LyttleGV) reported

    @beccatwitt @giffgaff Hi Rebecca/giffgaff Same just happened with my daughter. She has 3GB of EU data on her goody bag. I logged a support issue but not heard back. She's only been in Greece 2 days. How many texts is too many? Is a WhatsApp message classed as a text?
