  • 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.

    @reazemon @giffgaff We’re in exactly same situation. Appalling service. Two days no and only one reply fromthem to say that they’re looking in it. @giff gaff shocking service

  • jaffamonkey jaffamonkey (@jaffamonkey) reported

    @giffgaff No reply to previous message so reiterating. Your "Unlimited" bundle is a con. For 3 months had no issues on GB-specific bundles. Then on first day of Unlimited, people at work noticed my connection keeps dropping on video call. Don't BS me, I noticed this before.

    @giffgaff can You help me please? I ordered a SIM from Giffgaff because I wanted to change my mobile phone provider, unfortunately I didn’t realise I’m still in contract until next year. I received the Sim so now need to return it but don’t know how?

    @giffgaff Not sure if you’ve seen my DM, but today has been awful for data service, it’s kinda working now, but I haven’t been able to browse the internet at all for about 14 hours. Just seen on the giffgaff app that I’m now on 3GB left of data??? I had 13GB today???

    @gibby26 @giffgaff Hi gibbo. I’m sure you have tried turning the phone off and then on, have you checked if there is a mast problem in your area ?

    @troyhunt Same here. I can find one instance of being sent a survey by them in March 2011 (via @Giffgaff ) - they sure hang onto our data for a long time - possibly longer than is allowed by GDPR when it was only used for one survey?
