  • 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.

    @john_thrower @giffgaff am happy with my current provider - have a limited number of options due to coverage issues in my area though. The problem I have is with the phone itself now.

    @Ser_Pyrro @giffgaff Kindly request for assistance via sending a direct message for help in recovery your account back and lost fund..

  • notwithoutsuzy Aaliyah (@notwithoutsuzy) reported

    As if I’ve been waiting all day for my doctors to ring me and turns out they did but because giffgaff is owned by O2 and their signal is always awful, the phone call didn’t bloody come through. Love that for me

  • IanTheInventor Ian Davies (@IanTheInventor) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff I wonder if companies that use another network get the same level of service or can the network prioritise their customers 🤔

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

  • gazza_d Real Gaz on a proper bike #fbpe (@gazza_d) reported from South Shields, England

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

  • revchips revchips - fully vaccinated. (@revchips) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff Try, you're right I tried an eye one and it works fine *cancel please*

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff @Katielydall You'll help that right away but don't care when an elderly disabled woman has £35 taken from her account and is left with no internet or even calls or texts...

  • andymblackmore Andy Blackmore (@andymblackmore) reported

    @tescomobile £37 a month sat in room with wife she has 4 bars on giffgaff I have no signal on Tesco yet both run off O2 being mugged off big time by tescomobile

  • VeNT666 Andrew Albert (@VeNT666) reported

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff They use O2 masts (they are actually owned by o2 iirc). Check their service status in your area
