    @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 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 😡

  • 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.

    Been with @giffgaff for almost 10 years & been very happy with the service I’ve received. Unfortunately I’m looking at purchasing an Iwatch with cellular as this would be ideal when I’m out running. Does giffgaff have any intention on supplying eSIM facilities for its customers?

  • Mayaaargh maya (@Mayaaargh) reported

    anyone else got no service on giffgaff?

  • OlaSledzinska Aleksandra Taylor (@OlaSledzinska) reported

    @giffgaff we have been trying to deactivate out giffgaff card which seem to be impossible. Please can someone from customer service contact us to sort this out?!

  • emilydc8 Emily Cook (@emilydc8) reported

    Work phone is an iPhone 5 on giffgaff. I've recorded an answer phone message but somehow it never goes to answer phone, just rings for ages. Any ideas????

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

    @Mayaaargh Hi Maya. If you still have no service, please DM us your full postcode and we'll check for any issues in your area. - giffgaff Janine.

  • LouiseVoss1 Louise Voss (@LouiseVoss1) reported

    @hkist Run for the hills as soon as you can!! Also I think they rip you off- with Vodafone I was regularly being told I was exceeding my 5gb allowance and had to pay more. Changed to Giffgaff and never once went over 2gb even though my usage didn’t change an iota...🤔

  • todorokimv ­yas (@todorokimv) reported

    @juminmeow @chargekami ive tried but my phone service ppl (giffgaff) have it blocked 💔

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @ddphotograph @giffgaff If he never activates the giffgaff sim that comes with the phone he'll get any further charges from them it'll just be a one off payment but if you're not already a giffgaff member there's no way to avoid having to buy a goodybag with the phone unfortunately.

  • issieingram Isobel Ingram (@issieingram) reported

    @giffgaff HELP! My niece has been cut off due to being out of the UK for over 60 days... she's in the Royal Navy! Is there anything we can do in this situation? Surely our troops are exempt from this rule??

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

    @jackthalford Hi Jack. These two phones take the same size SIM card, so you should have no issues with just moving the SIM across to your new phone - giffgaff Jade
