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.

  • basecampfilms Simon Beer (@basecampfilms) reported

    Emergency alert received by child on giffgaff, wife on EE but nothing for me on EE. All in the same room and both types of alert turned on for me in iPhone settings #emergencyalert

  • SimonJGarner Simon Garner Photography (@SimonJGarner) reported

    @pipmadeley I’m seeing some sort of comedy sketch with people with a smaller network provider like giffgaff etc sat there as what ever the disaster is seen through their window Then the people who send it saying I’ve a feeling we forgot something

  • robinlayfield Cllr Robin Drury Layfield #CommunityIndependents ✊ (@robinlayfield) reported

    @lkchdschh Also it's instantly dismissable. I'm more likely to receive an emergency notification from my friends / street Whatsapp network than this signal which goes off and then is gone. Alarm notifications very patchy on the GiffGaff network too.

  • serene4uk Simon (@serene4uk) reported

    @PlanetClare_ @BradfemlyWalsh Could be a per network issue. 3 out of 4 of us got it (all on Giffgaff) 1 who didn’t is on ID Mobile and hadn’t disabled the alert

  • workerbee2013 Richard Marchewka (@workerbee2013) reported

    @giffgaff @Laurape45036454 My wife didn’t get the alert in Oxenhope and neither did my daughter in London (both on Giffgaff). My phone, on EE, got it a couple of minutes early. I’d have to give them a call to pass on the alert in a real emergency. Come on giffgaff get your act together!

  • otb_benjamin Benjamin (@otb_benjamin) reported

    @RhysCurtis14 I’m on GiffGaff as well. Strange as loads of people down in Cornwall didn’t get theirs.

  • DaveSThompson David Thompson (@DaveSThompson) reported

    @TheBaoth @giffgaff My wife and I are both on @giffgaff. She got her alert, I didn't! Never mind. She'll be fine, while I drown, or fall into a black hole. #EmergencyAlerts

    @giffgaff any signal arrive to other users of #giffgaff

    @atomx_sp @KuntiePlopkins GiffGaff clearly the network of the Burner phone then? 😜
