  • 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.

    @giffgaff But it said that if I wanted to log in straight away without waiting I had to change my password which I did and still locked.. I will wait again and try with the new password and see what happens. Tried this already in the past few days and didn't help... let's see what happens

    @giffgaff Thanks, I have just chosen loads of completely irrelevant options now and managed to get a message box to appear. Please could you feed back that either Wifi Extra or 'other' needs to be added into the system so that people can contact you properly? Thanks for your help!
