  • 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 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 Last update was yesterday, hence I wrote here. Delay, okay, I understand, but I’ve been without a phone signal for over 48h. This is getting ridiculous. Can you tell me anything else than be patient or not really?

  • LukeAnthony_J ɘʞul #FBIW (@LukeAnthony_J) reported

    @giffgaff I’ve had no service after I purchased a £35 goody bag what do you suggest I do?

  • super_taxi SuperTaxi (@super_taxi) reported

    @giffgaff Visually, I can now see the 4g sign at the top of the screen. Hopefully normal service resumed....

  • unicornfacuk Helen @ The Unicorn Factory | Surface Design (@unicornfacuk) reported

    @giffgaff As a new customer I really don't appreciate being blamed for not looking for info I didn't know I needed When I booked porting there was no indication of issue. The email on the morning had no mention of possible delays. There was no reason for me to look for service updates!

  • lissa1511 Mel (@lissa1511) reported

    @giffgaff My num should have been transferred yest, but at least I had service but no service today! Had I known there were issues I wouldn’t have done it. You need to be VERY clear. Not fair!!

  • Soph1Metcalfe sophie metcalfe (@Soph1Metcalfe) reported

    @giffgaff if phone is saying emergency calls only is this something wrong at your end??

  • gibby26 Gibbo (@gibby26) reported

    @benno44775 @giffgaff Tried all of this, the sim card just won't register on the O2 network, problem started on Tuesday morning

  • tommiekiddy Tommie Kiddy (@tommiekiddy) reported

    @smartymobile @SMARTYMobileUK has disconnected disabled uncle's mobile of over 15 yrs. Terminated @giffgaff old number (since 26th July) instead of Transfering it. Customer Service & Support not helping at both MVNOs. He's lost access to Family support system & business affairs.

    @giffgaff Well I've done this and the only result was for your customer services to take no responsibility and pass the buck. Really just dreadful.
