Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Waltham Abbey and nearby locations:

  • suhailpatel Suhail Patel (@suhailpatel) reported from London, England

    @Geek_Manager @jaseemabid @watbe @filipecvarela @ThreeUK @EE @giffgaff Three around Central London has been very spotty for me too (although it’s worse on iPhones than Androids, maybe it’s the iOS baseband on Three’s bands). Vodafone have been my go-to pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately the support is abysmal, guess you can’t have it all.

  • PaulGrayburn PG tweets (@PaulGrayburn) reported from Romford, England

    @DanJay946 @EE @ThreeUK @giffgaff You know they use the O2 network. You’d get a better performance with them instead of giffgaff.

  • Mr_MartinCalder Mr Martin Calder (@Mr_MartinCalder) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @EE Giffgaff has unlimited everything for £35 and even that is very expensive and crazy for the price in the current day’s we are living networks need to help their customers

  • sofiloco Sofi Summers (@sofiloco) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff hi Giff Gaff 👋🏼 my husband is having problems with his data - it’s not working at all. We’re in N1 London. Is it down?

  • SuzieStewart Suzanna Stewart (@SuzieStewart) reported from Hoddesdon, England

    @giffgaff hi, tried to renew password online but the link you send keeps saying it’s already been used when it hasn’t. Need to renew bundle asap but can’t help please

  • djrowsam DJ Rowland Samuel (@djrowsam) reported from Paddington, England

  • ric_mc ric (@ric_mc) reported from Hackney, England

  • TronalddumpUS Tronald Dump. (@TronalddumpUS) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff your network in #blackheath is atrocious. I get better signal sitting on a beach in Botswana, what's up with that?

  • jordanrevell Jordan Revell (@jordanrevell) reported from Camden Town, England

    @SkyHelpTeam I've had internet dropouts for the past 3-4 days, up to 4 times per day, plus dropouts often in the last year. It nearly jeopardized my life changing doctors appointment held over zoom today, often times my giffgaff 4g mobile data is faster, I need a solution.

  • GracialNation gracialnation (@GracialNation) reported from Hackney, England

    @giffgaff my SIM in my dongle says I’m connected but my laptop is saying the network can’t be joined. It just stopped working a few days ago and now just won’t join!

  • EdoreFaine Cr£am (@EdoreFaine) reported from London, England

    How comes everyone with #giffgaff never answer the #phone #London #voicemail 🤨

  • LauraSummersNow Laura Summers (@LauraSummersNow) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Hi Giffgaff! Something has gone wrong in North Greenwich with your network. Calls keep cutting out here. We’re all going to change network (unless this is just about to fix!) - it’s my husband and I (on Giffgaff) plus a neighbour on Sky (also 02)

  • Maliwil RAVEAUD Emmanuel (@Maliwil) reported from London, England

    @giffgaff Oh thanks so much, only one solution refund my money back on 5 days, so I don't have a phone for a new week. Thanks @dpd_support for your perfect work ... So know you are going to give me a new phone 🤬😤

    @RafaFerdinand1 @MrSir____ @Sahveeyo @_euanito Sir you connected to GiffGaff so doh try that shit

  • endaguinan Enda Guinan (@endaguinan) reported from Islington, England

    @O2 I’m with GiffGaff. Usually no issues with Mesia messages in any direction, but when it happens, I’m curious about this type of message. It says here’s your message, but there’s no link or attachment.

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

    @giffgaff I keep running out of credit on my monthly pay as you go plan. Auto top up was enabled leading to x2 charges now my account has run out for the third time. Wifi is turned on, HELP please

Giffgaff Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AnnaJoe2022 AnnaJoe (@AnnaJoe2022) reported

    @mrdanwalker Nothing, no alert received, 4G phone, switched on, 02 network (GiffGaff)

  • AndyMRoberts Andrew Roberts 💬🏳️‍🌈 (@AndyMRoberts) reported

    @Rick_Turner @TheSimonC90 I’m with giffgaff which runs on O2. What is the coverage like where you are? If you were not receiving a 4G/5G signal at the time of the test, you wouldn’t have received the alert. There are so many places around here that only get 3G and they won’t have received the alert.

  • workerbee2013 Richard Marchewka (@workerbee2013) reported

    @giffgaff @Laurape45036454 My wife didn’t get the alert in Oxenhope and neither did my daughter in London (both on Giffgaff). My phone, on EE, got it a couple of minutes early. I’d have to give them a call to pass on the alert in a real emergency. Come on giffgaff get your act together!

  • otb_benjamin Benjamin (@otb_benjamin) reported

    @RhysCurtis14 I’m on GiffGaff as well. Strange as loads of people down in Cornwall didn’t get theirs.

  • PhoebsBo Phoebe (@PhoebsBo) reported

    @AmandaB55744931 I’m with Giffgaff, who use O2's network. I wonder if there’s a method to provide feedback. Can’t have them thinking their test was a success!

  • robinlayfield Cllr Robin Drury Layfield #CommunityIndependents ✊ (@robinlayfield) reported

    @lkchdschh Also it's instantly dismissable. I'm more likely to receive an emergency notification from my friends / street Whatsapp network than this signal which goes off and then is gone. Alarm notifications very patchy on the GiffGaff network too.

  • industrialteg T Roberts 💙 😷 (@industrialteg) reported

    @CentralBylines Husband did (including the alarm noise) I didn't, so it was 50:50 in our house. I was definitely on 4G. I'm with Giffgaff who use O2s network (I think?)

  • RBIllustration Bex ✨ (@RBIllustration) reported

    @g0g0mi I got it and I'm on Giffgaff, my mum who is on EE didn't get it and neither did one of my friends but idk what network she's on. It seems to be very inconsistent

  • basecampfilms Simon Beer (@basecampfilms) reported

    Emergency alert received by child on giffgaff, wife on EE but nothing for me on EE. All in the same room and both types of alert turned on for me in iPhone settings #emergencyalert

  • jeclark James Clark (@jeclark) reported

    @ConstantGeekery Same here across 5 devices connected to @SMARTYMobileUK and @giffgaff networks. May be because Smarty devices were connected though WiFi calling and giffgaff only had 3G signal. 3/Smarty have acknowledged there was a problem and say they’re working to resolve it for real alerts!
