    @giffgaff You never answered my question you can say you don't k ow if that's the case. How can I get a hold of my old number when I no longer have access to that sim card

  • Plusnet Plusnet (@Plusnet) reported

    @kelly_tengi Heya, hmm is that just indoors and is the good signal showing from Giffgaff 3G or 4G? If your signal's OK with us outdoors, I'd say it may be because we don't support the 800MHz frequency which can provide better signal indoors, where other providers may do 1/3

    @giffgaff Bristol Temple Meads and Paddington are fine. It's Reading and Bath Spa that are the worst, with Swindon and Didcot Parkway not very good. It's not your fault. It's @O2 (or whoever does the network in those stations).

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

    @PeterClaydon We can understand how inconvenient this must be Peter. When we check the postcodes for the Bristol and Paddington stations, we can see the network is busy in those areas, so this would be why the data is running slower than usual. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @c_l_dimond Hi Charlotte, a PAC code would only be needed if you are moving to another network. When your new phone arrives you can use the same SIM in it, as long as it is the same size - giffgaff Nicole

    @giffgaff Thanks. Is that something I should try when I'm having difficulty getting a connection, or if I do it now (when I'm sat at home) could it prevent problems in the future?
