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.

  • 1ts0bvi0us T 🌸 (@1ts0bvi0us) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, are you sure it’s GSM supported? I topped up £10 credit and inserted it into the device but it’s not recognising it and can’t seem to retrieve a GPS signal. But annoyed as it feels like I’ve just wasted my money :/

  • Mark_Antony_3 Mark Bradfield (@Mark_Antony_3) reported

    So @giffgaff will now need to deal with a dispute and if they fail to accept the money being returned. Fraud will be involved

  • Mark_Antony_3 Mark Bradfield (@Mark_Antony_3) reported

    See if @giffgaff will be slow in refunding when threatened with legal action, which will involve damages, court costs, solicitors fees. Could easily be over £1k but if they would comply it would be alot cheaper

  • AvfcNeil Neil AVFC (@AvfcNeil) reported

    @giffgaff Can you help please. You have no customer service phone line or chat service! My Network has been locked by Giff gaff. Please how do I unlock it.

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

    @dkxtwt That's strange. We're not aware of any issues with payments. Have you contacted our agents about this? Are you a giffgaff member or a new member? - giffgaff Jeanette
