  @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.

  @giffgaff not being funny. Every morning for 3 days now when i leave my house. My sim shits itself to no signal / E. It takes multiple on off date for it to refind my 4g. Yet i used to be able to have 4g when in my house when my wifi went down. Now its nothing. Whats going on?

  @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.

  @YvonneM28 @Holz_mfc Same here with giffgaff which just like Sky uses the O2 network. Am considering switching to 3 network (maybe Smarty) to see if it works any better.

  @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.

  @techtoby__ Get an eSim from a different network and switch around when the internets slow or down. I’ve got unlim EE physical sim and giffgaff eSim as a backup👌

  Hey @giffgaff My broadband deal with Virgin ends in April and I really want to jump ship to yourselves. The service checker says I can't get it as you're not in the area but checking my neighbour who isn't with Virgin, it says he can sign up. Please help.

  @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)
