Help app not working

Unable to log in as the password help app didn't work and my details were not recognised. Very frustrated as I wanted to change my contract. Tried to raise this but unable to add the number requested as #06# didn't work either. Rubbish help

Giffgaff Oldtimer

Having been a Giffgaffer for several years I have always found it straightforward and easy to use. It would of course be better if you could phone someone but then that is why the costs are so reasonable and I really haven't had any problems so well done Giffgaff!

Don’t bother buying a phone from Giffgaff- no order confirmation.
Status ‘processing’ when it had been despatched then no ‘pin number’ emailed to me to be able to receive it from DPD. So they would not give it to me and took it back - might be back tomorrow- might not attitude from DPD!
Totally useless customer service from Giffgaff - non existent in fact!
Appalled!
Would not recommend

Cannot fault Giffgaff.Never lets me down.Packages are very reasonably priced and they always tell you at your monthly renewal if you can save money with a different package.Bring on their broadband service,sadly not yet available in my area.

Great prices until something goes wrong—avoid if you value customer service

I am currently transferring my number to Giffgaff and have been left completely without service for an entire week.

Because Giffgaff has no customer service phone number, you are forced to rely entirely on their online messaging system. The response times are incredibly slow and the support is poor. I have raised an official complaint, only to be told it will take 5 days before anyone will even look at it.

They can offer cheap deals, but the moment a technical issue occurs, you are completely stranded. I would not recommend them

Been without service for 5 days

Been without service for 5 days. I can understand them not being able to fix, but the kicker is customer services haven't responded to me and there is no number to call. Find another provider like Lyca that actually have human customer services.

I'm very satisfied with the service I get from Giffgaff. I am aware that it piggybacks on the O2 network but I sometimes get a better signal than my wife who uses O2. My feeling is, Why pay more for less?

Received email back saying we don't help with issues about mobiles via email!!! Have now attempted to raise a complaint but won't be shocked if that gets closed with no update either.
