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.

    @giffgaff I switched to a different network but choosing manually is a problem if you fly to another country that doesn't have the network you selected - it goes into spasm. Given that it's a persistent problem though, it isn't a troubleshooting issue. Does GiffGaff not have an agreement?

  • HannahJ100690 Hannah Johnson (@HannahJ100690) reported

    @giffgaff Hello. My good bag doesn’t seem to be working. Please can you help me? I need data ASAP as I have a job interview tomorrow and need to use the data. Thank you in advance

  • mrjulesdrop mrjulesdrop (@mrjulesdrop) reported

    I got a 5g sim for my phone with my network ( Giffgaff excellent #giffgaff @giffgaff ) has the best pick up of any network in my area of Norfolk (@vodafone being worst!) But no network has #5G here out in sticks yet. So can't be bothered to change over yet! It's just a pain todo

  • Pilotjones87 Gary 💙 (@Pilotjones87) reported

    @giffgaff I raised a issue with you this morning and am still awaiting a reply how long am I going to be waiting?

  • AnitaShellabear Anita Shellabear (@AnitaShellabear) reported

    @giffgaff It’s not good enough it’s not my fault so why should I have to wait, your website is the issue would you like to be left without your phone? Im really annoyed

  • Anthony_J_Perry AnthonyPerry (@Anthony_J_Perry) reported

    @giffgaff Thank you Ann. I understand it can take up to 24 hours to get a reply for help; not good if I need to fix a problem now. Hopefully we can get this sorted soon or I may have to find another provider (a shame as I've *loved* GiffGaff to date!)

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff This is the escalation team!!! This is result of 7 days of waiting after it getting it escalated! PLEASE LOOK AT THE SITUATION FOR MORE THAN 10 secs before responding, just a perfect example of the state of your customer service...

  • AnitaShellabear Anita Shellabear (@AnitaShellabear) reported

    @giffgaff It’s not good enough. I need to be able to call out I live alone so what do I do in an emergency????? This is ridiculous it’s poor customer service I can’t call anyone back nor can I listen. To voicemails for someone who suffers. With anxiety being without no contact is not good

  • Ser_Pyrro P@ul is getting bored... (@Ser_Pyrro) reported

    @giffgaff Are you serious EMER?? you are one of the 9 people that have responded to this already!?! Seriously you guys are terrible at this!!
