The rolling monthly contract is at a great price with generous call, text and data allowance. The only downside is, when compared to some other providers, the meagre allowance of 5gb data whilst in... See more

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 l... See more

I urgently need someone to contact me.

I urgently need someone to contact me.

My account has been compromised. Someone has fraudulently taken control of my mobile number (SIM swap/number theft) and has used it to gain access to my online banking. I am now locked out of my mobile account and cannot log in to contact you through your usual support channels, which is completely unacceptable in an emergency like this.

I need my mobile number to be blocked immediately to prevent any further fraud. Despite my attempts to get help, nobody has responded.

This is an urgent security matter. Please contact me as soon as possible and suspend my number immediately while you investigate this incident. Every minute of delay increases the risk of further financial loss.

My phone was stolen and you can't stop the SIM card because I need to log in on your stolen phone. I don't know if this is the most idiotic company ever or maybe Donald trump is the company director ! . This is the worst network I have ever seen . Should be shut down. Don't go to this network

I would not recommend

I have had this service for about a year and half. 1 1 the service for one is really spotty and bad I continuously get 4G or no service .
2. Price is reasonable for the data you get.
3. Left stranded with no data for abroad when I arrived in Spain even with the 5GB available. It doesn’t work at all and never kicked in but I can’t do some things on my phone.

I would probably change to a different network

Brilliant

Cheap phone network prices, excellent coverage, amazing customer service, great refurbished service! The agents are super useful and informative, overall some of the best customer service there is.

I would suggest not using Giffgaff if you don't have good O2 coverage in your area. Check on downdetector. Otherwise the coverage is pretty awesome. I rarely encounter no signal.

Been a giffgaff member for years as have members of my family without issue.
However, this week I put £10 on my daughter's phone which didn't arrive but taken from my account and then sent her another £10 to buy herself and the data ran out almost immediately if it was even added.
I contacted giffgaff from my account ( it was me who lost £20! ) but they just told me my daughter ( a minor) has to make a complaint herself.

We'll be switching her sim for another provider as I am not wasting more money.

Not Giff or Gaff just GUFF.

Gratified that so many give these idiots 5 stars. No service after two days of waiting. Welcome pack and all in place just no service and no one to call. The agents take over 24 hours and are as useful as a chocolate ashtray. The community just ask more questions or get sarcastic. As a newbie I had no idea and needed help. Didn’t get any though.

Very pleased with the service

Very pleased with the service from Giffgaff. Easy to setup both phone and broadband accounts. Phone number was transferred as requested. Good deals on plans, and excellent communication keeping me up to date with relevant information.

Reliable networrk

Reliable networrk, in UK and France. Keen pricing and easy to change monthly 'bundles' according to current data needs. I've been a customer for several years and haven't had any problems.
