      Try again later

    • B.

      Use a different browser

    • C.

    Different browsers render webpages differently which makes it awkward to make a webpage load perfectly on every browser. Also caches can cause complications too. Trying a new browser is the best way to trouble shoot this, but a cache refresh does sometimes work. Of course, if a member doesn't know what a cache is then then doesn't help.

    Marion wants to check that the mast in her area is working. What is the URL that you should advise her to help her check? giff.ly/_________

    Correct Answer
    ggservice
    Explanation
    giff.ly/ggservice is better than advising the O2 site because then if she wants more help she is still on the giffgaff site.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Recap question: Sarah is using the £7.50 goodybag and has run out of her data allowance and is now being charged for it. She still has a week left before it expires, but she wants to use the internet. How much will it cost her to use 80MB? Write your answer as a number of pence, if it was £3.14 write 314.

    Correct Answer
    160
    Explanation
    If your goodybag or gigabag has run out of data then it only costs 2p per MB to use the internet. If you're using straight PAYG (i.e. don't have a goodybag) then data is charged slightly differently.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Recap question: Sarah has no goodybag, but she wants to use the internet. How much will it cost her to use 80MB in one day? Write your answer as a number of pence, if it was £3.14 write 314.

    Correct Answer
    1220
    Explanation
    If you do not have any active goodybag data costs 1p/MB for the first 20MB in a day. Every subsequent MB costs 20p. If you have a goodybag it only costs 2p/MB if you run out of your allowance for data.

    Correct Answer
    20
    Explanation
    If you do not have any active goodybag data costs 1p/MB for the first 20MB in a day. Every subsequent MB costs 20p. If you have a goodybag it only costs 2p/MB if you run out of your allowance for data.

    Recap question: Today is 4th May (may the forth be with you!). Ok, so on the day you're taking this it probably isn't 4/5/20XX, but just roll with it. Alex normally pays for all of his credit and goodybags from payback and this year isn't any exception. Will Alex have free giffgaff to giffgaff calls at the moment?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    giffgaff to giffgaff calls last for 3 months after new money was put onto the account. Payback counts, but that was over 3 months ago.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Recap question: Alex is about to buy a goodybag using his credit. Will this refresh his free giffgaff to giffgaff calls?

    • A.

      Affirmative

    • B.

      Negatory

    Correct Answer
    B. Negatory
    Explanation

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Recap question: Today is 31st March. Ok, so on the day you're taking this it probably isn't 31/3/20XX, but just roll with it. Alex normally pays for all of his credit and goodybags from payback and this year isn't any exception. Alex is just buying a goodybag. How many months free giffgaff to giffgaff calls will Alex have after he's bought it?

    Correct Answer
    0
    zero
    Explanation
    Only new money refreshes these. Since he only puts new money on his account with payback and that was more than 3 months ago he won't have any free giffgaff to giffgaff calls.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Recap question: Timo has just bought a new goodybag and it hasn't come through yet. What should he do?

      Contact an agent

    • B.

    • D.

      Call the fire brigade

    Correct Answer
    A. Contact an agent
    Explanation
    Unlike activations, goodybags should always come through more or less instantly. If it doesn't then you need to get an agent to take a look into it.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Anthony adds a £10 goodybag but notices on his bank statement that two payments have been taken. He had plans to buy jelly and ice cream with that tenner and he's understandably disappointed. Who should he contact to make sure that it gets sorted?

      His bank - they can reverse the charge

    • B.

      The agents - they can investigate and process the refund

    • C.

      No-one - it'll be refunded automatically

    • D.

      His mum - she'll sub him a tenner if he whines loud enough

    Correct Answer
    B. The agents - they can investigate and process the refund
    Explanation
    Cancelling the payment at the bank might cause trouble with payments later on. The agents will happily check out this kind of thing and get a refund ASAP if appropriate. Ant might want to bug his mum for jelly and ice cream anyway though.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

      Kevin's free giffgaff to giffgaff allowance has run out

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Steve is using a foreign network (he's Australian actually)
    C. Kevin's phone sends long texts as an MMS message rather than as a normal text
    Explanation
    The other options can be valid reasons for losing credit, but not in this specific situation.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Toby topped up his phone with a voucher, but left it at his grandma's when he went round to help her reach something on a high shelf. He doesn't remember how much money he had on it but wants to know if the voucher processed correctly. What's the name of the link he should click in My giffgaff to find out?

    Correct Answer(s)
    My order history
    order history
    Explanation

    Recap question: How long does it typically take a SIM to activate?

    • A.

      30 seconds

    • B.

      30 minutes

    • C.

      24 hours

    • D.

      48 hours

    Correct Answer
    B. 30 minutes
    Explanation
    The vast majority of SIMs activate in less than 30 minutes. Some can take up to 24 hours, but it's not the norm - and if it takes longer than that, something's wrong and it's best to contact an agent.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Recap question: Rachel is trying to get in touch with the agents because her activation has failed. It's been two hours and she wants to make sure everything's okay. Which of these would be good advice to give her?

    • A.

      SIMs can take up to 24 hours to activate - best to wait until tomorrow and give it the full time

    • B.

      Turn her phone off and on again

    • C.

      Add another goodybag or more credit to kickstart the process

    • D.

      Make sure she includes her activation code in the agent message

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. SIMs can take up to 24 hours to activate - best to wait until tomorrow and give it the full time
    B. Turn her phone off and on again
    Explanation
    It's important to let an activation run the full 24 hours - an agent won't be able to do anything until then. New payments won't help either - or be able to be made.

      Contact an agent about his delayed activation

    • C.

    • D.

      Cry in a corner

    Correct Answer
    A. Check that his SIM has activated in My giffgaff
    Explanation
    This could be a delayed activation or a locked phone, but we won't know until Matthias checks My giffgaff to see if his number is displayed. Depending on what he sees on that page will indicate what the next step should be.

  • 20. 

    Vincent's trying to send a photo of his daughter to his wife. It's not going through, but he's taken screenshots of his settings and posted them and they all seem to be right. What's the most likely reason he can't?

    C. Download an app from the Google Play store to use instead that allows him to do this
    Explanation
    Depending on what phone he has, he might need to resort to any of these three. No need to spend more money than necessary.

    Christian's ordered a SIM and it's just arrived, but is concerned that he doesn't have good signal in his area. What can he do to check this?

    • A.

      Put his postcode in the service checker at http://giff.ly/ggservice

    • B.

      Put the SIM in his phone without activating - it'll show what signal he gets

    • C.

      Activate the SIM and put it in his phone - he won't be able to see the signal if he doesn't

    • D.

      Climb on top of his house and use a telescope to spot nearby masts

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Put his postcode in the service checker at http://giff.ly/ggservice
    B. Put the SIM in his phone without activating - it'll show what signal he gets
    Explanation
    giffgaff SIMs show you your signal before you activate. The service checker is a good way to get a view of your most visited postcodes too. The problem with the telescope method is that he won't be able to tell which masts give a giffgaff signal.

    Mark joins the forum, and posts the following: What's the most helpful thing for you to post to help him out?

    • A.

      Hey Mark, you don't say what area you're in, but you can put your postcode into the checker and it'll show you what's what. If there's a fault and it's on there it'll be fixed soon.

    • B.

      Hey Mark, there's some planned maintenance in Sheffield right now that looks like it's affecting you - you can find more information on the service update board here: http://giff.ly/ggmaint In future if you have any trouble you can put your postcode into the checker at http://giff.ly/ggservice. Sit tight and it should be finished soon.

    • C.

      I'm having problems as well in Leicester - I've mentioned this to giffgaff in the unreported service issue thread (http://giff.ly/unreported) and they should make a comment on it soon.

    • D.

      Ask an agent

    Correct Answer
    B. Hey Mark, there's some planned maintenance in Sheffield right now that looks like it's affecting you - you can find more information on the service update board here: http://giff.ly/ggmaint In future if you have any trouble you can put your postcode into the checker at http://giff.ly/ggservice. Sit tight and it should be finished soon.
    Explanation
    Did you spot that Mark had tagged his postcode on the post? Eagle eye if you did - this allows you to find tailored help for him very quickly, as well as point him in the right direction for the future. Full post codes are a bit dodgy though, so you should report the post too so an ed can check it out.

    Will has a BlackBerry Bold, and has used up his 1GB of data on his £10 goodybag by sending way too many BBMs the day before he goes on holiday to France. He wants to be able to check his emails while he's away for a week, but he doesn't have any credit left. You see that pickles13 has advised that he doesn't need to do anything and he'll be able to check his emails just fine. robzombiefan says that he'll need to add credit. Who's right?

    • A.

      Pickles13

    • B.

      Robzombiefan

    Correct Answer
    A. Pickles13
    Explanation
    As Will is using BBM on his Bold, it's clear that he has the BlackBerry add-on. Even though he doesn't have any allowance, the add-on allows 10MB per day of data while abroad for free, which will be more than enough to check his emails.

    • A.

      Do you have an active goodybag or credit?

    • B.

      Is your friend on giffgaff?

    • C.

      When did you last top up?

    • D.

      Do you have the right settings?

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Do you have an active goodybag or credit?
    B. Is your friend on giffgaff?
    C. When did you last top up?
    Explanation
    It looks like the friend she can call is on giffgaff, because she suggested the community. What's likely to have happened is that Jenny has run out of credit or allowance on her goodybag, and while she can still call one friend with her free giffgaf allowance, she can't call the other as they're on a different network.

    Correct Answer
    D. "You need to contact an agent. Only they can look into this for you. Here's a link to contact them - https://giffgaff.com/support/ask/activations"
    Explanation
    It's always best to give a link to the specific agent form for the members problem. In this case it is activations, so if you want to be better than the rest then advise this link. It's a good idea to familiarise yourselves with them all.

    Never advise a member to use the wrong section of the form. If they're having trouble then advise them to use a different browser and if that fails then let an educator know.

    B. Try using a different browser
