Morning folks,

I've just got word that this has now been fixed and members should now be able to use calls and texts as normal. If you are still not able to use calls and texts please switch the phone on and off again and try again. Also, check out these handy links if your still having some issues.

Please check that there is no service issue showing in the area you're in
( https://giffgaff.com/coverage-and-service ),
then try restarting your phone or performing a manual roam
( https://www.giffgaff.com/help/articles/how-to-perform-a-manual-roam ),
then check that you do not have any numbers blocked,
then try switching your phone from 4g to 3g mode.
(if you are unsure how to do this our lovely members in Help & Support will guide you, just ask them here https://community.giffgaff.com/t/help-and-support - and remember to let them know what model of phone you have)

We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused and we thank you for your patience.

Regards.
Sandy
