    @giffgaff my network is very poor since yesterday night and today in this morning is not working at all. sometimes I even got no network. using most of the time at Limehouse and Stoke Newton areas. My phone is an iPhone 12 (trying to) using 5G

  • DrJennyVaughan jenny vaughan (@DrJennyVaughan) reported from Hammersmith, England

    @giffgaff sort out your ageist “customer care” approach & call & help my 77 year old mum. You don’t even help me to help her you just send us a barrage of data red tape we can’t deal with. This is how elderly people are marginalised by #giffgaff they just won’t make that call.

  • drneil667 Neil Jackson (@drneil667) reported from Harlesden, England

    @blogmywiki @giffgaff I’ve had the same problem since Saturday. I’m in North West London , so not the mast.

  • s_lanning1985 shane lanning (@s_lanning1985) reported

    @JackpWild @giffgaff In the same problem was told it was covered then get told they won't repair it unless I pay double the value for a repair

  • M0KPH Phil - M0KPH (@M0KPH) reported

    @RobertDL3RR We were with EE, but coverage is limited round here, so we then moved to O2. Great coverage, but appalling service, so we moved to giffgaff as it is on the Telefonica network so same coverage as O2, though offers a very flexible monthly package without contract.

  • wifiwifey_zo Zoe (@wifiwifey_zo) reported

    Why do I keep getting declined by @Klarna for a new @giffgaff referbished phone 😫😭 been a giffgaff customer for more than 5 years.

  • standup220 Standup220 (@standup220) reported

    @giffgaff and again my data is running slow AF Have the same issue all the time I've got 30gb left so this shouldn't happen Unreliable as always

  • Enigmawatcher Andrew (@Enigmawatcher) reported

    @giffgaff hi, purchased a refurb phone from you this week for my wife and it’s a black listed one? Can you help sort this?

  • ShotsByJai Shots by Jai (@ShotsByJai) reported

    @virginmedia No. I gave up after waiting for 58 mins. I have to now order a PAYG sim from @giffgaff just so I can use the STAC code from you to cancel this account. If you make it this hard to cancel then it only serves to prove that you know how bad you are. Please go eat your own 💩

  • McDowell21 Hilary McDowell (@McDowell21) reported

    @giffgaff just wondering if there is a problem processing payments

  • AmAProperJoke Paul Burke (@AmAProperJoke) reported

    @giffgaff Hi Jade, I've been speaking to Giffgaff for 5 days and nobody can activate a sim card for me because I can't remember every single handset I've had for 7 years. Also, nobody can reset my login / password. It's a farce!

  • LishmanDoug Doug Lishman (@LishmanDoug) reported

    @giffgaff hey gifgaff how do I call your customer service 🤔 I have an issue with my account
