    @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?

  • thegourmetgays Thegourmetgays™ (@thegourmetgays) reported from Urmston, England

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

    @giffgaff is there a problem at the moment; don’t seem to be able to login via the app or online.

  • 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.

  • 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 😡

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

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

  • gm8arv David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks, but I’m really looking for a yes/no answer. I accept that there will be extra capabilities such as minutes and texts I won’t use or be a bale to use. Will your SIM work in an iPad as a data-only service?

  • MetaVapour Meta Vapour (@MetaVapour) reported

    19 minutes this time. Slightly better? @RedBull again. An amazingly loud advert for @Crocs. Literally never going to buy them. Nice targeting. Got @giffgaff again. Never going to wear me down. Do they think this constant repeating programming works?

  • peter_ramsey1 Pip Ramsey (@peter_ramsey1) reported

    @giffgaff I need help as I'm being changed 10 pound 4 something Monlthy and I'm not even with you guys.. my kids are

  • gm8arv David Taylor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@gm8arv) reported

    @feed_md @giffgaff Usually when abroad I get a local SIM, but that just for a few days. Haven’t travelled anywhere for a couple of years now, though! If there’s any issue I’ll be onto the credit card company, and it’s “only” £10.

  • indyrikki rikki (@indyrikki) reported

    @giffgaff @Ben43178051 Might be worth @giffgaff updating your "Service Update" page, which is confusing all of us by telling us that the website, app and login are all operational, when clearly they are not!

  • MetaVapour Meta Vapour (@MetaVapour) reported

    Less than 10 minutes has passed @Twitch. Triple advert break again. Middle advert weirdly louder again but not as bad as last time. Last advert the loudest. Literally can't remember the first advert. Tuned it out. Don't drink @redbull or use @giffgaff.

  • 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?

  • manx_maid Stephanie Brooke (@manx_maid) reported

    @O2 @giffgaff I have been driven to where there *is* a signal for half an hour (if I make a call, it works, but I get "conditional forwarding activated*) I suspect they may have been using a Vodafone 3G mast which has just been switched off, so forcing everyone to get a 4G something 😠

  • SigniusNetworks Signius (@SigniusNetworks) reported

    @giffgaff OK, bank is saying they are not even receiving the card payment requests your website is telling me my Bank Is declining.. What do I need to do for you to fix this as I cannot renew my goody bags ????

  • feed_md FMD (@feed_md) reported

    @gm8arv @giffgaff data is data, gg won’t care.. I did roaming for 1-2 months and just used the data portion of my allowance, never made a call or sent a text.. so sure should work ok. ;)
