  • till_the_wheels 𝕵𝖚𝖌𝖘 (@till_the_wheels) reported from London, England

    @O2 @Joegreaney Hi I'd just like to add that this is a problem for everyone on 02 and giffgaff in that area and it's because a mast in hither green has been down for 2 years and these crooks hate you enough to ignore it.

  • macqueendan Daniel MacQueen (@macqueendan) reported from Tottenham, England

  • 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

  • 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

  • DuranceAdam Adam Durance (@DuranceAdam) reported

    only people on GiffGaff didn't get the #emergencyalert. Proof the government don't give a **** about chavs.

  • Gie_It_Laldy Polo  (@Gie_It_Laldy) reported

    @tech604boy @marxfemkitty It's funny, it went off for people who had disabled the alerts, then loads of people never got the alert at all. From what I've heard, Giffgaff users got it a minute early, and me and many others on Three never got it at all. Wouldn't be by the UK gov if it worked properly, eh?

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Idarrenhouston Darren Houston (@Idarrenhouston) reported

    @sammwittings As far as I’m aware EE customers received however three and virtual mobile networks like giffgaff and virgin mobile customer didn’t receive this is a major failure yes there is customers and people that are vulnerable and relieved they may not have recieved this but others didn’t

  • 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

  • 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.
