    @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.

    @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)

    @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...

  • MikeOfTheSouthW MikeOfTheSouthWest (@MikeOfTheSouthW) reported

    @Aquaesul @giffgaff One bit was a man on a bus “man-spreading” Just all anti-man nonsense. Men are horrid etc

  • wildpark John Scott (@wildpark) reported

    Just been sent a really good email from @giffgaff about the test of the UK emergency alert system on Sunday, including advice for survivors of domestic abuse on how to disable it on hidden phones. Well done @giffgaff.

  • Witham69 Witham69 (@Witham69) reported

    @VOXI_UK @giffgaff Yes I accept that, but why do you alter that particular phone setting during an update? You don't change any other settings on my phone when it restarts, just that one. It's a problem for people with secret or hidden phones in abusive relationships for example.

  • HimInTheNorth Neil (@HimInTheNorth) reported

    Giffgaff definitely reminding me I need to change networks today. Used to be super reliable, now it's as if everywhere is a dead zone for signal. Given it jockeys off the O2 network, I guess they're to be avoided too.

  • M0KPH Phil - M0KPH (@M0KPH) reported

    @citifax We moved from O2 to GiffGaff after their appalling service and frequent price rises. Same network, so no loss of the service you are getting.
