  • dougshaw1 Doug Shaw : Artist and Consultant (@dougshaw1) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    Hey @giffgaff I started using your network just over a year ago. Since switching I frequently experience a loss of internet connection which only re establishes after I turn my phone off and on again. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks in advance.

  • goriller_of_3b goriller_of_3b (@goriller_of_3b) reported

    @DavidWaywell I'm on GiffGaff, runs on O². Arrived early. Which would give me a headstart for shelters. CANNOT WAIT for the Emergency Alert Conspiracy Theory hot-takes that are surely due...

  • forakin Akin Akíntáyọ̀ 🏳️‍🌈 #European (@forakin) reported

    @mvonschantz I have a dual SIM phone, I don't know if I was to receive one message on my phone or from the different networks as I only received one, and my second phone did not receive anything and it is on the Three network. I can't even say if it came on the Three or GiffGaff network.

  • pink_fox Sophie Miller (@pink_fox) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • pollywarren10 Polly Warren (@pollywarren10) reported

    I think the #emergencyalert was a great idea however my brother and i who are with ID mobile, unlike everyone else in our house who are with EE and giffgaff, we did not get the alert. Overall its a bit of a let down. However, i do understand it was just a trial.

  • 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.

  • PhoebsBo Phoebe (@PhoebsBo) reported

    @AmandaB55744931 I’m with Giffgaff, who use O2's network. I wonder if there’s a method to provide feedback. Can’t have them thinking their test was a success!

  • 1benballer Ben Baller (@1benballer) reported

    @menix1337 @giffgaff Hi Jesper, this is not a giffgaff issue. Many others did not receive this.

  • AiryDog BigAiryDog (@AiryDog) reported

    Didn't get the #emergencyalert and I'm on @giffgaff so having a patchy mobile signal is a benefit after all.
