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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • staylowkae baby wasteman. (@staylowkae) reported from London, England

    giffgaff finally back to more data less money but ofc its slow now 😐

  • 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 🤬😤

  • 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?

  • SophieGudge_ Sophie 💕 (@SophieGudge_) reported from Stratford, England

    @l0ulaa I had this issue in Lincoln with Three... had to change to giffgaff as it was so bad!

  • kiers__ Unotheactivist (@kiers__) reported from Islington, England

    @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.

  • arigork Ari Gork (@arigork) reported from Camden Town, England

    Family visiting needed a local sim. Got @giffgaff prepaid & activation was simple & fast. Catch is you need to get a voucher or credit/debit card to load selected bundle as store could not help and needed browser access to activate sim and load bundle. Otherwise 5 stars :)

  • uncoolbob Bob MacCallum (@uncoolbob) reported from London, England

    No signal, phone or data here @giffgaff

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

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

  • MVautrin Angela M Sturniolo (@MVautrin) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @Claytoncast @ThreeUKSupport @giffgaff I was in Bologna Italy for most of the month of May and didn't have any problems. Maybe it depends where you are. Anyway good luck.

  • Timmy17672437 Timmy (@Timmy17672437) reported

    @SteveFoxAST For the love of god get a Giffgaff sim and try it. No contract so at worst you waster £10 if the signal is bad or the networks to slow. But do it before your contract end just incase you need to go back to EE. EEs network is better that the O2 one which GG uses but the trade is £

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @SevenVIIGames We're very sorry about that. It may be that the tracking information hasn't been updated as yet. If this doesn't update soon, please send us a DM and we can help get this tracked for you. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • Brookie63 brookie (@Brookie63) reported

    @giffgaff hi ordered a new SIM from you over a week ago and it hasn't arrived yet. Can anyone help?

  • jsinclair29 James Sinclair (@jsinclair29) reported

    @adamskiodp @giffgaff @SteveFoxAST Been with giffgaff ages, swapped Mrs S a few years back, no issues, plenty of GB, free Giffgaff2gifffaff calls. Never had any problems.

  • murray_hecht Murray Hecht (@murray_hecht) reported

    @AndyGibsonTV I moved to @giffgaff a few years ago. No problems at all, no contract, and you can choose a different bundle (and payment) each month.

  • JSB93x Jordan (@JSB93x) reported

    @giffgaff hey I’ve been having trouble with my 4G recently. It’s really slow and not loading the internet or apps?

  • CH41N Chain (@CH41N) reported

    @RetroResolution @VodafoneUK How about Giffgaff? It's on the O2 network, and has reasonable deals, you can set monthly plans and have a little credit in case you think you might go over. I left three UK after 9 years as they couldn't get me a good deal.

  • MarkWalder2 Mark Walder ⚛️🇬🇧⚛️ (@MarkWalder2) reported

    @giffgaff why not sort out the network coverage instead of buying up peoples old phones for a fraction of what they are worth? i am seriously thinking about network change, its important sometimes for work to have good signal, i never ever get that.

  • sjcot1983 Steve Cottam (@sjcot1983) reported

    @giffgaff I have ordered a sim card twice from your website and both times they've failed to arrive. Any ideas? Seems something or someone doesn't want me to join your network! 😔

  • Mark_Antony_3 Mark Bradfield (@Mark_Antony_3) reported
