Giffgaff Issues Reports Near Cowes, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Cowes and nearby locations:

  • 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 I have been frozen out of my bank account beachside I can’t receive an sms on my phone…my goody bag hasn’t been activated in 7 days, I’ve swapped@my sim & done all the reboots and can’t even make a call or use data to help sort this out! This is a nightmare

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

    @unicornfacuk We completely understand your frustration, as we know how important it is to have access to your services. However, as soon as the issue was identified, it was updated on our community forum. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you Helen - giffgaff Megan

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

  • Happy_kiddo Nidhi (@Happy_kiddo) reported

    @giffgaff Thank you for your reply. I’m still waiting for my sim to arrive in the mail, been quite a while. Plus i have my PAC from o2 ready. Really hoping your operations are back to normal next week as I’m a new customer.. now a nervous one. 👀

    @unicornfacuk We are again sorry for the inconvenience caused, and we do sincerely hope that things are up and running again soon, and you're able to truly get started on our network - giffgaff Hannah (3/3)

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

    @giffgaff If it wasn't for my husband being a long-term @giffgaff customer I'd be leaving again pretty quickly. I know he's generally had good experiences so I'll stay and give @giffgaff the benefit of the doubt for now

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

    @giffgaff As a new customer I expect the info I need will be part the set up process (or emailed if later). It's poor onboarding comms. Husband is an IT mgr & says he wouldn't expect anyone new to go looking for service updates during set up. That's for existing customers with disruption.

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

    @giffgaff I wouldn't have an issue if the information about slow porting was up front - then I could've chosen to do it when it wouldn't have been such a big issue to be without my phone number & messaging for more than one day It's the lack of transparency that's upsetting

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

    @giffgaff Haven't even figured out the community stuff yet... Good service for a new customer onboarding shouldn't be conditional on them psychically knowing to look for info - communicate service updates affecting onboarding & use it as an opp to intro where to find more info in future

  • 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.
