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.

    @CEO_TTUK @CarolineCoramUK That's interesting because I'm giffgaff and only noticed bad internet no problems with calls or texts. But 02 and EE have lots of calling issues

  • chrisGUK87 ChrisGD (@chrisGUK87) reported

    @giffgaff please fix signal in DH1 2RS it’s been down for days. My phone is useless as I can’t send or receive anything at all for the whole day. Please help

    @kathleengough Oh no. Please ensure you are using the correct membername and password to log in Kath. Try using your mobile number instead of your membername and vice versa. If you still face issues, try using a different browser and device. - giffgaff Jeanette

  • KieranCairns Kieran Cairns (@KieranCairns) reported

    @Grindor16 @giffgaff What do you need help with? You are usually better posting in the forums as most issues can be resolved without an agent, and the Twitter feed is generally only monitored by giffgaff staff and can take a few hours to reply.

  • Mbusy Michelle Livermore (@Mbusy) reported

    @giffgaff bought 80gb SIM card yesterday for my daughter and it is not working today. Did not use her phone. How do we resolve this?

  • JamieLichtie Jamie Malley (@JamieLichtie) reported from Frome, England

    The unremitting crapness of “chat bots” for customer service is unbelievable. Wanted to move from vodafone to @VOXI_UK (which they own). Given up as it just goes round in circles. Giffgaff it is then…

  • k_l_k79 KARLA KAYE (@k_l_k79) reported

    @giffgaff Thanks Jeanette. I can't get passed the 2 step verification as its sending a code via text not email. It's been an ongoing issue with the signal etc since the day we signed up, is there a number I can call please?

  • pseudopolisyrd Sam Vimes (@pseudopolisyrd) reported

    @giffgaff Your internet is total crap at the weekend.

    @Samiya61558547 Unfortunately, we don't have a time frame as to when this will be fixed. We would advise that you keep an eye out for updates on the service checker site. - giffgaff Megan
