    @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

    @gazza_d @KarlOnSea @girodilento I did hear that you are further down the priority list for bandwidth congestion with giffgaff than O2. (Also in a macho - mine is bigger than yours kind of way, I have more data than you are allowed buy, 40GB. Travelling a lot these days)

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff @O2 Have you asked for a different SIM? Otherwise I'd be tempted to switch as there is so much more competition now. I don't like poor service.

    @giffgaff Is there an problem with the network with sending and receiving texts messages. Both my wife and I are getting undelivered, each time when we sending texts over the last week. Little annoying to say the least.

    My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

    @WilliamNB @giffgaff If it works elsewhere and other networks work then yes switch to one that works. But maybe don't pick another provider that uses O2 network.

    FFS!! I spent hours getting my knowledge to the level to go on today's training course. The useless @O2 & @giffgaff have massive problems, so no mobile connection and some ******* idiot farmer has taken out the phone lines, leaving me without any broadband. I'm beyond angry!!

    Edward Woods (@ManicEddie) reported

    @WilliamNB @vodafone @giffgaff I'm with EE. Only problem I've had, and I've also had it with Vodafone, is that if I cycle or walk along the South Downs or Kent coast I get charged for using French signals.

    Clazz || An Orcadian Abroad (@orcadianabroad) reported

    @WilliamNB @vodafone @EE I don't know where abouts you are, but if that's 3 companies you've had issues with, are you sure it's not your phone playing up?? I've never had issues with Vodafone or giffgaff (can't speak for EE) but Vodafone isn't cheap hence moving to gg. Hope you get it sorted anyway!
