  • 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.

    @EE Always pay as you go, never more than £10 a month with @giffgaff but as they won’t fix the Terrible service in our town we’re forced to leave them. Four accounts with @giffgaff four mobiles with no service most of the time :(

  • Yorksims John Woods (@Yorksims) reported

    @LveLuvLeo @giffgaff it looks like O2 were ducking your question then because they own and maintain the network (and they own giffgaff) so only they know when the mast in your area will be fixed.

  • wilsonjjordan jordan wilson (@wilsonjjordan) reported

    @giffgaff is there any issues with your network at the moment I can't seem to get a signal at all

  • jakebrough10 jake (@jakebrough10) reported

    @giffgaff Well I’ve tried entering this PAC code into my new network provider and it doesn’t accept it Jeanette

  • TheIronSkull IronSkullProductions (@TheIronSkull) reported

    @giffgaff I spend £1100 on a new Samsung S20 Ultra 5G and the screen keeps saying 'not registered on network' Is there an issue with your network? Or do I switch to a better provider?

  • LveLuvLeo Leo (@LveLuvLeo) reported

    @giffgaff o2 told@me to contact you! I have a goody bag and I can’t use it as signal is dead in my area LS8 apparently due to a mast problem! I want to know when this will be fixed! I need it for work!!!

    @wilsonjjordan We're very sorry to hear this, Jordan. Please can you provide your full UK postcode via DM, so we can check for issues in the area - giffgaff Jade

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

    @jakebrough10 The date you've mentioned, is for next month Jake, so it hasn't actually expired. It would seem you only requested this on the 18th/19th August? You should be able to use this PAC code with whatever network you're trying to transfer to. - giffgaff Jeanette

    @Ed_UKation 10G on Giffgaff here but the net is never off for too long :)

  • Mediasterling1 Mediasterling (@Mediasterling1) reported

    @giffgaff It seems to have something to do with the type of connections. Everything works after I started to use the home WiFi, not working with the mobile data/the hotel WiFi while I was away though
