    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 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 😡

  • 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.

    @ShAmEYoUFaiLeD Switch to Giffgaff if you can mate, it's just a better O2, I've never looked back

    Rico (@rico238) reported

    @BoormanPatrick @tescomobile The good thing is that the Tesco mobile network is the same as O2, giffgaff owned by Telefonica (European company) probably the reason why the European network is so good.

    @Leeds_Untied Giffgaff runs on the 02 Network. £10 a month gets you unlimited calls, texts and 9gb data

    Wow, my 4g is incredibly slow in central Manchester atm... For the past few days even basic websites have slowed to a crawl. What gives @giffgaff @O2 ?

  • stevo0611
    Steven (@stevo0611) reported

    @ThatsDoubleA If 5G access is part of your plan and you’re not getting it Id contact giffgaff as you’ll be paying for it within your monthly fee...it could be they only have access to certain areas of 5G within o2s network

  • CornwallBob
    Bob Goodenough (@CornwallBob) reported

    I ordered an iPad SIM from @O2 - and was sent a SIM that used a @giffgaff number (which doesn't work). O2 won't sort it out because it's a Giffgaff number - unbelievable!

    G🌹🏳️‍🌈 (@GEMB148) reported

    Oh great been with @O2 on a contract less than a year and they’re rising my bill over 10% in April. 🙄 Was with the sister company @giffgaff for over 10 years and never had a rise. Proves this rise is just shameless money grabbing from O2.

    @benmrowe I was waiting for the punchline after doing all those credit checks. Never understood why doing more checks harms your rating. Anyway, switch to GiffGaff.
