  • 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.

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    If you have to clear your cache and log out then log back in but you can’t click on an e mail link and have to go via a browser to access a service on a website it’s a bit crap. Looks at @giffgaff and mutters about giving up and not bothering to continue with the thing I need...

  • Loucathwil ☃️🎄🦌loucathwil🧵✂️🧸 (@Loucathwil) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    R.e. the @giffgaff phone app, it NEVER remembers my password, and neither do I, as I'm always forced to add capital letters and other details I will never remember. Please make your services more accessible to those of us with neurological handicaps xx #neurodiversesquad

    Isn't it odd who the contract phone networks like EE, 02 and Vodaphone have issues with keeping customers when they annual RPI increases Buy a phone direct from Apple and Samsung and go to a PAYG network like GiffGaff or SMARTY Owned by the biggest....... sh1† loads cheaper

    Good morning @EE 👋 just a message to say, I will be leaving you in June when my contract is up, after years of being a loyal customer, as I do not accept your 14.4% hike on prices. @giffgaff here I come!

  • itslivmattock Liv (@itslivmattock) reported

    So … I lost the SIM card with the number linked to this account so I had to order a new one. Then I had to wait for GiffGaff to transfer my number. Then I tried to get a code sent to this one and it never came. Then I had to tweet Twitter Support / Elon Musk and practically beg.
