    @giffgaff. Made complaint via email 9.7. Told a reply within 5 days for reply. It is now 28.7. Any chance of contact being made. First time I’ve had an issue with yrselves. Lack of communication a second bigger issue

  • AdrianBeeby Adrian H Beeby (@AdrianBeeby) reported from Chorley, England

    @ThreeUK Data is as ‘okay’ if you could ever get a signal but then prices got crazy. What a nightmare giving notice was - the call operators just won’t give in and let you simply cancel. Moved to @giffgaff and been happy ever since. @giffgaff you are awesome.

  • gcat1169 Gordon Catterall (@gcat1169) reported from Bryn, England

    @giffgaff Contacted you EARLY July re complaint, eventual customer service response but no response to my complaint. Asked for pac code and was given it and told any credit on account would be lost!!! This credit is what Ive been complaning about for months. OFTEL NEXT STOP

  • SarahLinnett Sarah 💙 Jane 💙 Twiss (@SarahLinnett) reported from Haydock, England

    What is going on with mobile networks at the moment for the last couple of months my signal is so bad @giffgaff and when I say bad I mean non existent can't make phone calls or text

  • OvC_Mikey [OvC] Magic Mikey 🤭😜 (@OvC_Mikey) reported from Bolton, England

    @AurieleFayme @giffgaff I cant explain how much I love my phone network 😂

  • MissMcLovin84 Nicola McGee (@MissMcLovin84) reported from Manchester, England

    @giffgaff absolute disgusting service from yourselves and the repair team. Informing us by letter that my 12 year old had damaged his phone - does this go for my Dad with the same phone, he is 66 years old. Couldn't admit responsibility, think trading standards 😡

  • C17Y_CJ Chris (@C17Y_CJ) reported from Bury, England

    @giffgaff my sons phone signal has totally disappeared. I can’t ring him, it’s not even going to answerphone. His WiFi is all ok though. Can you help?

  • LadyEkaterina The Everlasting Concubine (@LadyEkaterina) reported from Manchester, England

    @giffgaff Hello lovely giffgaff. I am not a customer but my chum is and he’s run out of data. I would like to buy him some data but I can’t see how to do that. Can you help please?

  • Annihilatorlee Lee andrews (@Annihilatorlee) reported from Bury, England

    @giffgaff never had a problem.. Today im having a big problem. No internet. I use as part of my business. Yes i have data in my goody bag.

  • essers Esjay (@essers) reported from Manchester, England

    I didn’t want to change mobile provider. But I was told this was the only way I could keep my service bill at a level I could afford. I was very happy with the PAYG service I had from @giffgaff, and did not want to change, but it was that or a surcharge.

    @giffgaff Never that's me 😛🐱

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MainlineShow Mainline Show (@MainlineShow) reported

    @CBarrett1994 @giffgaff EE. Giffgaff etc are just resellers and have no control over network. Go with a company that owns the network for best access. I pay less than £30 / month for unlimited 4g

  • CBarrett1994 C Barrett (@CBarrett1994) reported

    Disappointing that @giffgaff have still not rectified network issues that they claimed, would be resolved by Friday. Have been unable to use my phone for over two weeks. Can anyone recommend a reliable network provider?

  • axlrosesasswipe slash (@axlrosesasswipe) reported

    @burner100200 HOW DO YOU USE EE DATA AND HAVE 4G MINE WAS SO BAD I HAD TO SWITCH TO GIFFGAFF

  • fecob FecoB (@fecob) reported

    @giffgaff Issue persists with other phones too. Can I report this to someone?

  • boocoq Luke (@boocoq) reported

    @giffgaff yo I need assistance, sold a phone to you guys but still no payment. Also the giffgaff recycle site is broken on desktop

  • AdzCrawford2003 Adam Crawford (@AdzCrawford2003) reported

    @altodev_ @jpdfive @giffgaff Ye but the O2 mobile network is meh. They are neck and neck with Three for being the slowest in the UK. Vodafone is so much faster than O2.

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

    @CoachCallum Hi Callum. We don't support eSIM's at this time we're afraid. - giffgaff Emer.

  • harlequin_1963 Gary Mackenzie (@harlequin_1963) reported

    @giffgaff i left EE over a year ago due to poor service and lack of support. ( transmitter on maintenance for 2 years so no reliable 4g service) GiffGaff gives me a full 4g signal indoors , 100GB a month data and that costs me £20.00 for golden goodybag.

  • MonsieurBrulee Monsieur Brûlée (@MonsieurBrulee) reported

    @EcotalkMobile OK. I've requested an unlocking code from GiffGaff. I presume that I don't need to be connected to a network to enable this as I can't connect to anybody at present. Who can I talk to if it doesn't work?

  • benjitindz Benjamin 🏳️‍🌈🎮🐻 (@benjitindz) reported

    @bobbybeardo @SMARTYMobileUK I ditched smarty due to shocking signal. Went to GiffGaff and since had no issues.
