Giffgaff Issues Reports Near Cowes, England

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 HI, I ordered from you on Friday and it said next working day but I've had no confirmation of dispatch or tracking, can you help?

  • CoastalCanary DottyDewdrop 🇬🇧🐠🐟🐬🐳🦀🦈🎵🇬🇧 (@CoastalCanary) reported

    @giffgaff It's ok, it's my problem and I don't know how to sort it, I've been cut off, quite rightly, for exceeding my data allowance but to leave me without a phone is a bit despicable isn't it? I'm in my 8th decade.

    Anyone else experiencing no available network work @giffgaff and Google #Pixel6? Worked fine for the last couple weeks up until yesterday...

  • seamus_mr Mr. Seamus McMichael (@seamus_mr) reported

    I seem to be getting no signal, my mobile network is GiffGaff

  • OlgaCastro80 Olga Castro (@OlgaCastro80) reported

    @saetningsknude I upgraded my @ThreeUK contract today and was invited to believe all providers would have to start charging; hence my question! Great if you could check with @giffgaff! I could cancel my upgrade within 14 days & would be happy to do so despite my 5+ years with current provider

  • stasbutler Staś Butler | 貝德旭 (@stasbutler) reported

    @papagaeio @alicetams To be fair to poor Carl he says he's very happy to give it up, but Giffgaff says there's no way of getting it back once it's gone, for reasons unknown

  • sazzygeek Sazzygeek (@sazzygeek) reported

    All of our handsets come from @giffgaff and returns have been super easy with refund showing in my bank the day after they receive it. However this time nothing. Not even annl acknowledgement of receiving the phone. Someone at @giffgaff please help me.

  • Edyir_ Chris Reid (@Edyir_) reported

    @giffgaff just switched to your sim only and in Newcastle city centre and Ne28 the signal is too slow to use the internet on 4g, never mind 5g! Is there a cooling off period?! Horrendous experience so far

    @DrSamHayes1 We can understand your frustrations with the situation you've been in with the service and we will do our best to help resolve this for you and with you Sam. We're not saying it is your fault, and do not mean to come across like that if we have. (1/2) - giffgaff Jeanette

  • DaveEllisDev Dave Ellis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@DaveEllisDev) reported

    I love that using @giffgaff means having full signal constantly but still not having a working connection. It’s like being gaslit by your phone every time you leave the house.
