Re: Outage for ‘piggy back’ with O2 - 6 Dec 2018 - Page 452

@gawjuspops
Do you have another unactivated giffgaff sim card?

Could you try these steps
(wait a few minutes between each step, wait to see if a connection symbol appears then Tey a connection)

Switch your phone off and remove the sim
Wipe the sim contacts with a cloth
Wait 5 minutes
And replace,

Select giffgaff in the pop up networks list,
(mention if you don't see a pop up list)
If you don't see a connection symbol after a few minutes
Try and select a different network mode and then a manual roam

Go to
Settings
Connections
Mobile networks
Network mode
And select one by one to see if a connection symbol appears

Go to network operators
Make a manual search and select a network other than o2
Wait till it fails then select o2

If a connection symbol doesn't appear, try an automatic selection

Not what I've heard. I've heard it's two day's worth of airtime credit.

I demand compensation!!

yesterday morning I actually had to talk to my wife at breakfast! What!

once on my way to work I had no idea about the buses because I had no data so could be be informed when the next one was due, but thankfully a nice man in his 70s looked at the timetable at the bus stop and informed me of times. Once the bus came I had to wait in a que to pay, i along with others had to actually use cash!! I can tell you I wasn’t the only one puzzled by this. Once on the bus I had a little old dear talk to me, imagine the horror! I didn’t know what was going on. Then when I got off I had to find some coins (what are they?) to pay for my chokka mocha skinny latte. I along with lots of other panicked looking people didn’t know what was going on. BUT it gets worse, once at the office I still had no data or anything and I... now wait for this I know you are going to be shocked but I actually had to do some work!! It was such a long long day! The journey home was no better as I actually had to converse with total strangers! Once home I had to go to bed and recover.

so yes, please compensate me the sum of 50p for the loss of service and the trauma I am still getting over.

After the recent problem with O2, which obviously affected giffgaff users, are we able to claim recompense for unavailability of service?

I believe O2 has offered 2 days compensation for monthly users.

Any thoughts on this?

Will we be getting compensation for loss of service paid for?
