    Q on what businesses can do to promote digital upskilling and increase access to tech @Siobhain_Mc says the government has engaged with the likes of BT and Vodafone but many people are using smaller network providers like @LycamobileUK and @giffgaff

    @mmper9 We're sorry to hear this, Miguel. Please provide your full postcode and we'll check for any issues in your area. - giffgaff Janine

  • JerryGiraffe James Nairne (@JerryGiraffe) reported

    @Mykiel_B @giffgaff It seems that GiffGaff don't take security sufficiently seriously as it is a slow cumbersome process you have in which minutes matter. Using Twitter as the quicker reform of raising fraud and security concerns is not very good, is it?

  • walk_nottingham Walk Nottingham Photography (@walk_nottingham) reported

    @giffgaff my phone was lost so ordered new SIM with the same number as found the phone (had to block last SIM) but it's still showing as only accepting emergency calls?

  • schoelle Bernd Schoeller (@schoelle) reported

    @giffgaff I have an issue receiving text messages this morning. Any known issues on you network?

  • HappyHomebird Happy Homebird #KBF (@HappyHomebird) reported

    @giffgaff I get one bar if I stand at the front door, normally service throughout house and full bars!

  • planetf1 Nigel Jones (@planetf1) reported

    @Shammz006 @SMARTYMobileUK That's not so bad... not the best for home broadband but respectable for mobile - I would have stuck with smarty/3 if I had that (or less). They also benefit from having wifi calling/VoLTE which others like voxi, giffgaff etc are missing.

    @giffgaff @O2 would somebody like to sort out the transmitter strength that covers PR7 before I take my custom to another network, I’ve moved to within 0.5km of one of the Uk’s busiest motorway service areas & have one bar or it drops to 3G 😡 Ridiculous & slow!! .
