    @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 😡

  • 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.

  • AntBonney Anthony Bonney (@AntBonney) reported from Bolton, England

  • 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?

  • 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.

    @giffgaff my goody bag didn’t recur, I mean you took the money but now it’s just vanished, was showing on my account Til yesterday ? Sort your ****

  • ZsaZsa19770165 ZsaZsa (@ZsaZsa19770165) reported

    @giffgaff why can I not connect to the internet with my plan? It’s frustrating & you have no call centre. Can’t talk to anyone to sort it out. Just a minefield of Q&As. I need help otherwise I’ll go somewhere else. Simple really.

  • I_want_holidays Chris Mark (@I_want_holidays) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff BT and Talk Talk do this too with wired phone/internet. They also threaten to charge you if the 'fault is in your home'. You have to unscrew things on the wall and jump through hoops before deciding that it's the unplugged wire in the telephone exchange that's causing the problem

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

    @tnagum2400 Hello there, We've had to remove a mast near you. We’ve upgraded other masts nearby to help boost the network. We’re working to get a new mast up and running as soon as we can. 1/2 giffgaff Ann

  • WorthyOnTheWeb Claire Worthington - Ranty McRantface She/Her (@WorthyOnTheWeb) reported

    Banks are terrible but compared to mobile phone companies they are practically saintly! If I pay GiffGaff £10 I don’t expect them to steal back £9.50 just because I didn’t get chance to use it. It’s a stealth way of causing havoc and getting free money

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

    @Kevin4fingers23 No problem. We're here until 11PM. - giffgaff Tasbiya
