Call me back Text OPTION

Hi everyone I was wondering if giffgaff could offer. Call me back text option where if you run out of credit or goodybag and you're in an emergency you can...

Call me back Text OPTION

mizan337 all goody bags have unlimited text and calls to any network. If someone is only very occasionally using their phone on a PAYG basis its likely they will have remaining credit. If a customer wont pay to top up their phone to use even on a very minimal basis why would giffgaff want them as a customer?

Yes why would giffgaff want them ?
Not everyone buys goodybag. A lot of people that I've seen uses payg because they only receive calls. So it's an option for them.

mizan337 Hi there in my opinion I dont see this suggestion going anywhere!.

mizan337 EE offers this option to their customers 5 call me text message per month

Got a link as i can't find this anywhere recently on PAYG

isabel1066 I believe it was started with Orange payg. You had the option to send 5 a month with a maximum 2 in one day. Guess it was carried over to EE for those that were on Orange the same as the £5 emergency credit did , or at least it did for a time.

My little sister uses EE and when she run out of credit she rang my number and then it gave her a option to let me know that shes got no credit and shes trying to call me (I recieved a text). So I should ring back.

like i said not seen this recently on EE PAYG>

isabel1066 it was option 2 apparently, with option 1 being to top up. If you get a different option 2 then they must have stopped it

isabel1066 Hi I've had a look and can't find anything on EE about this option .

richybhoy36 you don’t have EE!!

david13725 I was looking at EE for another post !

Not sure I really see the point of this with the lowest priced goodybag only £6 per month which gives unlimited calls and texts.

mizan337

If £6 gives you unlimited call and text why cant these option be available then?

mizan337 looks like EE have stopped this wonder why so can't see giffgaff wanting it

That's not how business work. If a customer is not paying anything for the service it's not up to a company to give it for free. You are saying giffgaff should allow everyone the option to not make any paid for calls or texts but just send out a 'call me back' text for free to get someone to phone them so as not to be charged. How long do you imagine a company can survive if no one needed to pay for anything.

mizan337 EE offers this option to their customers 5 call me text message per month.

To be accurate, the network sends a generic text to your chosen voice call recipient, explaining you are out of credit.

Since giffgaff offer unlimited texts on all their goodybags the demand for such a service would be restricted to paygo users.

julie12910 How long do you imagine a company can survive if no one needed to pay for anything.

giffgaff have been fairly generous since they started. Free 0800 calls, when other mobile networks charged. nhs 111 and police 101 are both free.
They ramped up the free content by allowing free data access to all nhs websites, from your giffgaff sim.

How is EE SURVIVING?

mizan337

pw6049 no they haven't stopped it. Order a free payg sim and try it your self.

mizan337 3 years ago and it was then orange who allowed the free texts when out of credit not available anymore.https://community.ee.co.uk/t5/Archive/How-to-send-a-free-emergency-text-when-you-run-out-of-credit/td-p/546262

Free call me back text, still available on T Mobile sims! Few and far between, admittedly but with zero credit, a useful perk

Ee payg sim allows you to do that too. Order a free sim and try it your self. If everything was possible online. There wouldn't be "instore"
Try it your self then come back and let us know

If giffgaff made everything free they would go bust so they will not do that people that want them to make loads of stuff free are in for a disappointment it will not happen.
