    @giffgaff hi! I’m buying my mother a phone for her birthday and want to get a giffgaff sim to go in it. Went to order one on your website but whose name, email, number etc do you need? Mine (buying) or hers (customer)? Thanks!

    @giffgaff I’ve tried the buy a goody bag, yesterday and today and it’s not working, my goody bag hasn’t been activated

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @teamIPSE Without a doubt! And phone signal! It is appalling how bad the signal is in parts of the UK outside of London! I am 4 minutes from the Cardiff city centre with no signal! #howareyoumeanttorunabusiness @o2networks @O2 @giffgaff

  • Asgharki AzKhaaan × (@Asgharki) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @giffgaff Oh I'm not complaining! 🙈 Just feel bad you sent me a higher model!

  • BradChanner Brad Channer (@BradChanner) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    @O2 This has always been an issue. We are with giffgaff whom I believe use your signal. I have tried everything. I have even bought a booster, but the reception coming into the booster isn’t enough to even make the booster work. Very frustrating. I have to sit in a window 4 reception

    @gatchacaz That's so weird! Also, I flirted with Giffgaff years ago. I hate the forum-based support. So weird!

  • ZacEyre Original Rizz (@ZacEyre) reported

    @beckymil1 @ScottGShore I was sat watching the footie with 8 of my mates, literally all on apple but one on O2, I’m on Vodafone a couple on EE, a couple of Three and on giffgaff, some went off, some didn’t, all down to notification and privacy settings

  • 1benballer Ben Baller (@1benballer) reported

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

  • PhattGreg Greg Sully (@PhattGreg) reported

    @gingerninja1974 @giffgaff It appears it’s the set up of the phone. Which for a emergency alert seems to be failing! You can only receve it if you enable the function in settings, you can only get it if your using a 4G of 5G signal. Not well thought out plan at all!

  • jeclark James Clark (@jeclark) reported

    @ConstantGeekery Same here across 5 devices connected to @SMARTYMobileUK and @giffgaff networks. May be because Smarty devices were connected though WiFi calling and giffgaff only had 3G signal. 3/Smarty have acknowledged there was a problem and say they’re working to resolve it for real alerts!

  • industrialteg T Roberts 💙 😷 (@industrialteg) reported

    @CentralBylines Husband did (including the alarm noise) I didn't, so it was 50:50 in our house. I was definitely on 4G. I'm with Giffgaff who use O2s network (I think?)

  • 1benballer Ben Baller (@1benballer) reported

    @jackwallington @giffgaff Hi Jack, this is not a giffgaff issue. Many others did not receive this.

  • D_Rodders Dominic (@D_Rodders) reported

    @giffgaff Hi, struggling to login to active our SIM, as I don't know my giffgaff number, or member name! Only the email address I signed up with. Any ideas?

  • RBIllustration Bex ✨ (@RBIllustration) reported

    @g0g0mi I got it and I'm on Giffgaff, my mum who is on EE didn't get it and neither did one of my friends but idk what network she's on. It seems to be very inconsistent

  • ShazzBakes ShazzBakes (@ShazzBakes) reported

    @TrickyMcKicky I've 197 lines of data (still awaiting network from 20). GiffGaff, Tesco, iD, Virgin: some named that + "O2" or "EE" but most didn't. So I can't sort properly unless the actual provider is listed. There are 4 Three customers who DID get the alert. So it wasn't a complete ****-up.
