  @MarinaPurkiss @EE Sign up to Martin Lewis' MoneySavers website and get his weekly email full of latest offers and practical help similar to Which but free. EE has bad customer service. I have a SIM from GiffGaff that costs me £10 a month but I am a light user

  10 p/m on a phone (probably just the sim only) is possible maybe only on giffgaff cause every other network even three (best network btw) is at least 12 pound monthly for the cheapest plan with no add ons

  @itvMLshow Hello Martin, after one of your shows I took advice on changing my mobile service provider from 02/virgin media to Giffgaff, sadly I didn't check the end date and landed up paying £107 as I was 10 days early.Just a warning to others!

  @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.

  @Rick_Turner @TheSimonC90 I’m with giffgaff which runs on O2. What is the coverage like where you are? If you were not receiving a 4G/5G signal at the time of the test, you wouldn’t have received the alert. There are so many places around here that only get 3G and they won’t have received the alert.

  @helenvecht @rogermerriman Three seem to have cocked up by lots of people on their network not getting it. I've seen QTs suggesting other networks repeatedly broadcast the alert (as per spec) and Three didn't... I was on GiffGaff and Three, dual sims, so could have been either which got it.
