  • 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.

    @giffgaff #giffgaff what seems to be the problem, can't log into my account, constant 'Try again in a few minutes'

    @AydinPaladin I don't have a quick-fix to offer you, but I'd suggest picking up a plan from a provider like GiffGaff which allows you to pay month by month. I used that in the UK then just removed my card details when I left. When I go back I can just pay again.

    @Chinchillazllla Emojis are not necessary or important. You can express yourself equally well with words. They use bandwidth and clog up the internet. In the UKs GiffGaff network you are charged extra for a message containing an emoji. There are probably other networks with the same rule.

    So I've got a SIM card, activated it, paid a tenner to try it, checked and the payment's gone through BUT, I don't have any service. #giffgaff is as 💩 as @ThreeUK. Don't these 💩 company's want any custom. Off into town tomorrow to talk to a human at #02

  • daniele_0583 Pietro Daniele Di Giuseppe (@daniele_0583) reported

    @giffgaff very bad service I immediately closed the account cono them do not recommend it to anyone.

  • JordannaGoswell jordannaUXresearch (@JordannaGoswell) reported

    @SMARTYMobileUK connection is extremely sluggishly slow this morning. Feels like the data speed is throttled or something. Thank goodness I kept my GiffGaff sim for backup!

  • silvergoatish The mechanical mountain goat 🐐 (@silvergoatish) reported

    @virginmedia The bill date is 2 November. Payment date is 22 November. I also had to buy extra Giffgaff data £10 for essential communications during the loss of 7 days Virgin service. When I've reported regular loss of service in the past, I've never received amended bills from virgin.
