Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cowes and nearby locations:

  • ChrisOverthrow Chris Overthrow (@ChrisOverthrow) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @brendonvbone I was with giffgaff (o2) and its bollocks. Now with Vodafone. I get decent signal apart from half time. At half time I can get some internet but it's very slow. That's unavoidable with 18k people all using their phones though.

  • pachallis Peter Challis (@pachallis) reported from Fareham, England

    @notmany4benny @carterBFC @SamsungUK One of the disadvantages of living in rural locations. At least you must have beautiful views instead. I had problems with Three and I live 200m from a transmitter where I get flaky voice calls. Apparently I need a Three supplied phone to get VOLTE. Currently on O2/Giffgaff.

  • testedbylife Richard Fröhlich #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦 (@testedbylife) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue @GTTO__ Try GiffGaff for sim- no contract, move tariff up or down each month. My 2 phones cost £10 and £6 pm. Avoid Vodafone like the plague.

  • mand282 Amanda Connolly (@mand282) reported

    @giffgaff I need to leave you due to conx issues. I've requested my pac and am running down my allowance. It was at 3.23 when you topped me up by £10. Please refund this as I've just lost my job and can't afford to waste this money.

  • jacekwojt jacek wojt (@jacekwojt) reported from Bromley, England

    @VOXI_UK Very poor customer service.... sorry, non existent. Going back to Giffgaff.

  • mand282 Amanda Connolly (@mand282) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks for the reply Nicole, but I contacted the website directly and they refunded it immediately. That must be the only time I've had quicker service on their site than on twitter, that bodes well for us all.

  • BobPrydderch Bob Prydderch (@BobPrydderch) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff That is a load of crap. Law states you are entitled to a quality of service, no service is not a quality of service, it is what it says, no service. 0% service is no service. If you buy a product and the vendor says “ we have got no product” is that a service? Period!

  • prue_evans Polly Anna (@prue_evans) reported

    @Mandoline_Blue I'm with giffgaff - very cheap on o2 network, which is patchy. And bad in Moseley. Very cheap, however, I have unlimited calls and texts, 80 gig data which replaces broadband al for 20 quid a month.

  • lulli_gang FTG (@lulli_gang) reported

    @giffgaff @HuffPost Shame your network is ****

  • gez_666 gez howarth (@gez_666) reported

    @tescomobile spent over 2hrs in store trying to get a phone contract, only to find your internal system is down, walked out with a @giffgaff sim instead

  • shawncbrown Mr Onion-Bucket (@shawncbrown) reported

    @dalehay Giffgaff (o2) not working around here either. But they’re claiming it is!
