  • 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 😡

  • 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

  • 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?

    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.

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

  • 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

  • thestuchy13 Damon (@thestuchy13) reported from Billinge Chapel End, England

    @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.

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

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