  Hello, you lovely @giffgaff people. I know I'm not alone in not having received the #emergencyalert message on my phone, however my wife next to me did on her Giffgaff Android mobile; presumably the signal is from the same mast? It's probably a Gov't ****-up as usual... Hey ho.

  Data still not working. I’ll be glad when I ditch @giffgaff

  @adamconder @OllieBrkr @giffgaff I’ve experienced that occasionally on Three also, but I found that restarting my iPhone fixes the problem, so I’m beginning to think it’s actually an iOS issue rather than a problem with the network.

  @1BenBaller @giffgaff It’s on its way back but why annoyed me was that @giffgaff didn’t seem to care. I was told to contact apple support. Erm no. If I buy a phone then I expect it to work

  🚨 Never buy a refurbished phone from @giffgaff they send you ducked phones then blame you for damaging it

  . @giffgaff 4g data in NE3 area has been appalling for the last 48hrs but your coverage page indicates no issues? Voice and text is fine though. Any ideas?

  My @ThreeUK contract ends at the end of this month. Got an email the day before they announced they’re dropping their free roaming trying to convince me to renew. No thanks. I’m off to @giffgaff. I don’t give my custom to companies that fail to keep their word.

  Hey @giffgaff can you get onto O2 about the mobile signal in Sunderland City Centre, it’s almost impossible to even load twitter.

  @virginmedia @giffgaff @Telefonica Virgin Media are 💯 with prompt online support. Always have been. I'm not sure any of the others will reply, at all...

  @giffgaff mobile and data signal has been down all day from east London through to Central London. When will it be back on?

  @lukerobertblack The Boomers think that because you spend a tenner a month on a GiffGaff and have a phone that costs £20 a month you are frivolous and don't work hard. And that a one bedroom flat at 12x earnings is just a matter of knuckling down.

  @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.

  @finchyid1710 @beverleyturner A child can still buy a Fanta tho with no id, this is you cant have any until you verify, Not like a kid friendly version where you can still do some things it's just prove it or loose it, on device, instead of through the service you are using. For example giffgaff blocks adult content until you prove you are over 18. Some isp's block illegal sites. This doesn't need to be on device because if apple can do it, then why shouldn't samsung do it for their tvs which can also access illegal sites or porn these days. BUT, I have come to the conclusion that we've gone to far not parenting kids properly surrounding the internet and the gov has no choice or feels it has no choice, to do these things, Saying that there is no law for this kind of thing to be on-device so apple really has no reason to do it unless they know something we don't (likely)

  @giffgaff as gifgaff run on the 02 network has anyone had any problems, network is poor right now, cuts you off while in a call, delayed in connection?

  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

  @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
