Lost my phone last week. Unable to log into my @giffgaff account because of two factor authentication which is absolutely ridiculous. How ******** can i receive a text when I’ve lost my phone???? Can’t even log into anything because of this 2FA. Anyway, got a new phone and number

@giffgaff are you having issues with service? Not being able to receive calls or texts all day and when I'm calling or messaging out other people aren't receiving them, I'm in Leeds if that helps

So … I lost the phone with the SIM card linked to this account so I had to order a new one. Then I had to wait for GiffGaff to transfer my number. Then I tried to get a code sent to this one and it never came. Then I had to tweet Twitter Support / Elon Musk and practically beg.

@DaveSThompson @sonya_grattan I told EE I’m hopefully going to join a phone Co op (or giffgaff) when I finish my contract. EE have no loyalty to longstanding customers. I pay more for my service than most people I know! Have complained but got fobbed off with crap excuses 🤯🤬

Hold up, isn't there that @giffgaff advert talks about the future and says turnips are the latest craze... Is Therese Coffey's media strategy "Oh ****, what was that thing I saw on TV last night"?

Isn't it odd how the contract phone networks like EE, 02 and Vodaphone have issues with keeping customers when they impose annual RPI increases Buy a phone direct from Apple & Samsung then go to a PAYG network like GiffGaff or SMARTY It's sh1† loads cheaper I did

@giffgaff No good to me, I need a proper service, this has nothing to do with the service being 'busy' and a lot to do with O2 not fixing or upgrading equipment. Looks like i'm off to vodafone......

@giffgaff Hi, my postcode is SM5 3AG O2 initially said it was due to a fault about 2 weeks ago, now their service checker states it's due to being a busy area! Data is pretty much unusable now which is the only reason I signed up to Giffgaff. No problems for the last year or so.
