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.

    @shandelores @giffgaff Hi Shannon, it should have by now as it is normally 24hrs after you hand three your Port Authorisation Code. Reboot ur phone. If you’ve handed the PAC to three, then giffgaff won’t hv anything to do with the porting anymore unless pac is wrong. Pls contact three who will help.

    @giffgaff hi, my number transfer is today and I just checked the app and it’s showing the transferred number. Put the giffgaff sim in my phone and had no access to anything at all. I’m at work and don’t have signal, do I need it for the transfer to work?

    @giffgaff my sons network has been down all day, he’s paid 20 a month for the last 5 year

    @nathanfradgaz Oh dear Nathan, we understand how concerning it must be as your data is not working. Can you please DM us, so we can get this issue investigated further for you? - giffgaff Megan

  • TTpage21 Tawfiq (@TTpage21) reported

    @giffgaff @Markngaz1 The internet connection on my phone is non-existent/horrendously slow in my area, I live in Bolton, BL1. It has been like this for days now. I want this sorted out ASAP and I want monetary compensation for this, because this definitely not what I paid for.

  • giffgaff giffgaff | The mobile network run by you (@giffgaff) reported

    @Elisha_jadexo Within the settings for the Samsung text, please ensure that your mobile number is correctly shown, as sometimes this can be showing the original SIM number and not any transferred number and can cause these issues. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • refgeoff1 Geoffrey (@refgeoff1) reported

    @giffgaff Sorry, I have just joined, my minutes went down 2p after an incomplete call to France! Unless you charge for the balance txt?

  • Markngaz1 Mark (@Markngaz1) reported

    @giffgaff It's OK it's just my data is not working or when it dos its sooo slow I'll give giffgaff a few weeks to fix it and hopefully it will get better otherwise I'll have to join a different network it's important that my data always work kind regards
