    @giffgaff Never that's me 😛🐱

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @giffgaff Website/app not working?

  • AwokeRoseArisen Mya-Rose, adult human dolphin whale (non-chicken) (@AwokeRoseArisen) reported

    @giffgaff Why? Are you saying that Starbuck's wifi was the problem? And I'm certainly not taking the SIM card out of my phone. It's old and might get damaged.

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    I been with @giffgaff for about 12yrs now, but I seriously wish they had a proper customer service support phone number. When you got an urgent issue this archaic message support system is unfit for purpose in 2022.

  • TMBCurrie Tom Currie (@TMBCurrie) reported

    Good morning @giffgaff can you help sort out a phone number mix up with my account?

  • RyanEva96184714 Ryan Evans (@RyanEva96184714) reported

    @giffgaff @UswitchUK how long are you expecting the website to be down for?

  • DylanTeague Dylan Teague (@DylanTeague) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks. Yeah I understand but I think there should be actual help in cases of possible fraud. Your prices aren't as competitive as they used to be, I'm tempted to leave for a company with a helpline after this.

  • darrenwaters Darren Waters (@darrenwaters) reported

    @NicholasGarnett @giffgaff Thanks. Think I worked out the issue. I have a work phone which also has my iCloud account. It was set to only receive iMessages through my Apple ID. But….when I reactivated iMessage with my new sim and ported number it activated the work phone number. Without my say so!

  • darrenwaters Darren Waters (@darrenwaters) reported

    Aaargh the dreaded problem of porting your phone number to a new SIM and carrier and iMessage no longer working properly. Any ideas at @giffgaff ??

  • cafayracer FAY (@cafayracer) reported

    @O2 & @giffgaff when are you going to finish whatever it is you’re doing that affects those in Chippenham and Calne? Loads of us still without any service as soon as we’re without WiFi and it’s been going on for about 2 weeks now…

  • AdamFen82114288 Adam Fenton (@AdamFen82114288) reported

    @giffgaff Hello Giffgaff, I just activated my simcard today because i will be flying in later and the app/website is down. Will that affect my sim?
