  • 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.

  • 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.

  • richie_rich77 🕸️🎃👻Miss WoOoO-bble👻🎃🕸️ (@richie_rich77) reported

    @giffgaff Guys please help - I have barely any coverage to make/relieve calls. Ive checked outages and service status and both say service in fine in my area!? Yet I only have 1 tiny bar os signal, and that keeps dropping. Borderline impossible to make/recieve calls.

  • amoola_83 Hope (@amoola_83) reported

    @giffgaff hello, on your PAYG plans - can you call any uk network with the inclusive minutes? Or is it only to other giffgaff numbers? Thanks.

  • benno44775 Beano (@benno44775) reported

    @harychad @giffgaff Hi . Have you tried to turn the phone off and then back on ? Usually helps me when I have signal trouble. Give that a try

  • AliJaneMoore Alison Moore (@AliJaneMoore) reported

    @giffgaff can't get one because of connection issues but it says that I can only add credit - no option to start the next goodybag early.

    @mckay1402 @WasOnceLoved @O2 giffgaff is O2 without the 'service', which I find much better.

  • Racsort16 🐒 🧦 Monkey Socks Osc (@Racsort16) reported

    I'm super disappointed with @giffgaff starting from the start of the year my sim not working on holiday (but they sorted it out - luckily I had a different sim) now last few days unusable 4G, keeps crashing.

    @virginmedia DOWN I'm still a customer, I think? It 's 7 days no internet, WFH is a joke. "Engineers working on the problem"? More like "Engineers tripped on a cable, smashed their head open passed out for days" Had to buy more data from @giffgaff SW19 Pull your finger out virgin
