  • 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.

    @kickaha14 @VOXI_UK @giffgaff A year and a half later it still doesn't work...

  • ChrissyBImpact1 ChrissyB5150 (@ChrissyBImpact1) reported

    @giffgaff Sorted now, logged off and logged on and it corrected issue

  • SEP_Roth Stephan Roth (@SEP_Roth) reported

    Having to unlock your @giffgaff account over Twitter is absurd. If security and customer service is a main concern, I highly doubt having people message over Twitter does fulfills either objectives. Why not just have a call service?

  • Naims Naims.net (@Naims) reported

    @giffgaff 4G coverage in the Stranraer area is diabolical. Been here for 5 weekends now & not even able to streamed music. When it does work it stops every 3 to 5 minutes. @giffgaff acknowledge their network is busy in this area, but 5 weeks .@SMARTYMobileUK works & cheaper

  • Boonald0 Paul Heyes (@Boonald0) reported

    @bt_uk was about to go to one of you sim only data plans....but after reading your awful T&C's and looking at your pricing, I will be staying with @giffgaff !!

  • marchie53 marchie53#ToryScum#ToryLies#ScottishIndependence (@marchie53) reported

    message 'You will have 2 wait for number transfer2 complete'. Why? Just send me a PAC Code so that I can leave Giffgaff and get decent service elsewhere. Obstructive and totally anti Customer Service

  • JSB93x Jordan (@JSB93x) reported

    @giffgaff ever since 5G has came out your signal in the St.Helens area for 4G has been terrible. Even though I have a 5G compatible phone but can't get 5G in the town 🤔.
