    @bt_uk I might add that my house doesn’t work without internet; I’m not just being a diva, it’s a real problem. No internet means no heat, limited burglar alarm (people in my neighbourhood are trying doors) etc. I’ve managed to cobble together something with a 4G giffgaff dongle

    @giffgaff Yes, they reply once I have chased them and simply say we don’t have an update so it’s now been 20 calendar days with a partially working sim plan - sorry but it’s not good enough - I don’t want a response - I want a solution!!

    @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.

    @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica gifgaff, who are part of O2, who now work with Virgin Media. All part of Telefonica (and Liberty Global). A FOI request detailing how network coverage map data is recorded, updated, and published would be interesting to see. It seems to be very different from reality.

    @Mattisamazing33 Just check that any of the virtual networks you use have a decent signal where you are, and/or allow WiFi calling. I originally went with giffgaff when I retired, who are great to deal with, but use the O2 network which only works in our back bedroom.

    @giffgaff just received a second emergency alert this morning? Not to brag but…

    @VOXI_UK My number was due to transfer over from giffgaff today. But it hasn’t as it’s still showing my Voxi number. Can I get some support please?

    @O2 @giffgaff I'm on the Eurostar travelling back from Belgium. Signal tremendous all the way 5G /4G on Orange-B / Orange-F until I get to the UK when it keeps dropping and I get loading icons. Why in 2025 can't the UK have reliable signal throughout the country?

    I've been an @O2 customer for over 20 years, but these latest mid-contract price hikes are unsustainable. Only reason I even have a SIM is because of 2FA, otherwise I would go SIM-free Wi-Fi only. I'll probably be switching to @giffgaff or @LebaraMobileUK soon. Well done, #O2!

    @Kari_Casanova29 Unfortunately, this isn't something we can investigate through social media, and must advise that you keep in touch with our agents through your case, and provide any information that they need there, so we can help sort this out for you as soon as possible. – giffgaff Tasbiya
