    @catherine_mayer I managed one month with EE (via UW) before leaving. Terrible signal - like it was 2001 again - both in town and the countryside. Went back to O2 via Giffgaff, not probs at all now.

    Seeing reports that this might be a Three problem - but I'm on Giffgaff, so connected via O2

  • 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.

    @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!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • TheBaoth Joruus (@TheBaoth) reported

    @flyfour @giffgaff 4 phones, same location, same network and only one phone got the alert. So the reality is, its neither network nor mast. Its just another broken system.

  • 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

    @TheBaoth @giffgaff Hi Joruus, this is not a giffgaff issue. Many others did not receive this.

  • 1benballer Ben Baller (@1benballer) reported

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

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