    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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • pfozter Paul Foster (@pfozter) reported from Chorley, England

    Anyone got issues with giffgaff?

  • 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 😡

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

    My WiFi goes down so much it's unbelievable, Didn't have this much trouble with #Sky. @virginmedia get your act together, thank the lord for @giffgaff 4g.

  • Orko77 Jenny (@Orko77) reported from Manchester, England

    So glad my backup unlimited @giffgaff data has expired just in time for @virginmedia to go down. Sod's law. #FirstWorldProblems

  • 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?

  • DagsJT Darren Thomas (@DagsJT) reported from Warrington, England

    @oasismark @SkyUK @giffgaff Both use O2 network so it should be fine.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • nhsfatcat Simon Ruffle (@nhsfatcat) reported

    @Parody_RCGP @giffgaff By commissioning a service they have admitted it’s worth 170k when they were paying 70k. Perhaps they’ll pay properly for all the services that the Cumbrian GPs provide.

  • alawalconcepts AL-AWAL MOTORS (@alawalconcepts) reported

    @giffgaff can you help me roam my line please

  • hadleypch Paul Hadley (@hadleypch) reported

    @malcolm_stack @adamboultonTABB @VodafoneGroup Don't have contracts with mobile companies and use sim only people like Smarty and GiffGaff instead. I pay £10 a month and can simply cancel it myself if required. It's v simple , no tie in, no chance of all this nonsense.

  • Bagpus Bagpus (@Bagpus) reported

    @giffgaff is it possible to covert to an eSIM please? My phone has one SIM slot and one eSIM. I'm traveling soon and seems they mainly have Sims where I'm going. So it would help if I could use the eSIM for Giffgaff. Thanks for advice

  • Testipickle Bloke (@Testipickle) reported

    @CompanySuisse @giffgaff Not at all. I was on it 3-4 months and had enough. Might have improved since then I dunno, I'd never try them again.

  • TheGophergod G-O-I (@TheGophergod) reported

    @giffgaff is there a problem I am waiting for the verification code to log in but its not come

  • Walnut_No1 Si Roberts (@Walnut_No1) reported

    @giffgaff what’s happening with your online service? Every time I’m trying to access my account it’s saying it’s a problem on your side? This isn’t the first time either, need to access my account

  • howlieT a box full of owls (@howlieT) reported

    Honestly, the main problem with @giffgaff as a network is that if you have a non account issue it relies on the stack overflow method of help. Love to hope a random stranger sees my question and knows the answer guys!

  • AJPendleton Andrew Pendleton (@AJPendleton) reported

    Hi @giffgaff I’m off to @VodafoneUK tomorrow because you changed the rules on roaming and capped my data after I’d left for summer hols. And then refused to help. Just important for firms to know why customers move their business. Also getting a better deal.

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

    @Bagpus Hi there. We do not offer or support eSIMs unfortunately - giffgaff Jade
