    @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 😡

    @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 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?

    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.

    @giffgaff I have narrowed down the problem. When i go into radcliffe within a certain perimiter its total internet blackout. When i. Come out it returns as if there was no problem. Im a taxi driver. I have never had any issue like this with all the years ive been with you. My Three

    @Arednel @giffgaff Wel nobody messages me anyway, but I’m out tomorrow so not having any signal will just make me stressed out

  • DrChemistryEmz
    Emma (@DrChemistryEmz) reported

    @Yorksims @Arednel @giffgaff Yep that’s the plan! Tried another network sim and it works. I’m just not sure if I can grab a Sim at Tesco this late, I don’t know if they have them for sale.

  • ChericoRoo
    Cherico 🌻 (@ChericoRoo) reported

    @giffgaff @JebbleG Sadly that rules you out for us. Our mobile signal at home is at best one bar so wifi calling is essential. Voxi have given less than a months notice that they are removing EU roaming due to ‘costs’ but refuse to reduce our plan price to compensate.

    @flwrylino_ @libbysmenu BRUH SAME BUT WTF IS GIFFGAFF

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

    @_lagspike How strange Dex. Are you able to check if your son has accidentally blocked your number on his phone? As there is no other issues with the network and the SIM can receive calls and texts from everyone else, then this would not appear to be a SIM issue - giffgaff Nicole

  • JebbleG
    Jeremy (@JebbleG) reported

    @ChericoRoo @giffgaff Same problem here, literally can't make a single phone call without standing on the balcony and even then it's questionable. I've moved back to Smarty for WiFi calling + incl roaming but they were quite **** 1.5 year ago so fingers crossed

  • JMvanderBergh
    John Milan (@JMvanderBergh) reported

    @giffgaff So again the same issue, even tho I HAD activated recurring goodybag somehow my credit was spent. Really not cool @giffgaff, that's £10 in total that went into thin air. Seriously thinking about filing a formal complaint.

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

    @ChericoRoo Hello there, giffgaff uses the O2 network. Our goodybag plans can be used in the EU and selected destinations. You are entitled to a maximum of 63 days of EU roaming after UK usage is detected in any four-month period, with data use capped at 20GB per goodybag. - giffgaff Ann 1/2

    @danster62 @lorrainemking @BT GiffGaff is a virtual provider Who's network do they us and what kinda of top level functionality they provide Now the top level provider that has to deploy and manage a network cannot and will not give the same levels of service cutting their own throats

    who me? (@question_dog) reported

    @giffgaff it's only when things go wrong when you see how good or bad a company really is. Trying to activate a replacement sim but your system has been down all weekend. Have you tried turning it off then on again? Or is nobody at work until Tuesday?
