    @giffgaff I have reset, I have checked my apn thingy. I have already done the simple problem solves but theres still an issue connecting to the carrier.

  • Monica10203756 MissMonicahatesKirstyButler@pdsa. (@Monica10203756) reported

    @giffgaff fed up. True to buy a phone from you. But klarna ruined it. Before I didn't have to go through this ****. Yes I've been on their customers service. Use less. So no refurbished phone for me.

  • sputniksteve stephen (@sputniksteve) reported

    So, phone says it has full 4G but when I make a call it drops to 3G. Aside from the generally poor signal, this is irritating. @giffgaff @O2

    @Sunalunafish There seems to be an issue with our Ask an Agent service at the minute Suna, but our engineers are aware of the issue and are working hard to get this resolved ASAP. Please can you try this again later this evening, so that we can investigate things further - giffgaff Jade

    @giffgaff Oh I’ve already spoke to you over the past few months. The mast near my house just keeps going down all the time. I keep getting a refund because of it being down but I’ll message you to see if there’s any change.

  • Sunalunafish Suna 🕊 (@Sunalunafish) reported

    @giffgaff my mobile internet has been inconsistent for the last month for over a week I've had no connection, tried to flag with agent but the support page will not load. £20 down the drain this month .

  • __justplaying alice (@__justplaying) reported

    @fae_dreams_ giffgaff is the cheapest but if you want much better network/reception get a prepaid EE instead

  • Mrs_Thompson_S Mrs Thompson 🦋 (@Mrs_Thompson_S) reported

    @giffgaff why is my internet SO bad? It’s frustratingly slow and has been for months now!

  • BigBut5 Big But 5 (@BigBut5) reported

    @giffgaff Are you planing on adding visual voice mail any time soon? Just joined your network and think I might be leaving at the end of the month if not, calling the voice mail is SUCH a pain in comparison.

    @callumstokes44 We're not aware of any issues with using top up vouchers, Callum. Have you tried dialing 43430 to add this? - giffgaff Jade
