    Been on @tescomobile 2 weeks now and the signal is absolutely abysmal, why oh why did I leave @ThreeUK for them 😭😭

  • mr_myss MrMyss (@mr_myss) reported

    @tescomobile Tried the SIM card in another phone and it doesn't work. T-Mobile also sent a new SIM card but that hasn't worked in the same phone or any other.

  • radiodjdave dave smith radio dj (@radiodjdave) reported

    @tescomobile what is going on with your pay and go service topped up £20 and its eaten £10 in a day with only half hour browsing not happy

  • QuentinPBrown Quentin Brown (@QuentinPBrown) reported

    @tescomobile I paid for a sim card that didn't work over a month ago and still haven't had my money back but you still claim your customer service is good?!

  • chrisharvey4357 chris (@chrisharvey4357) reported

    @tescomobile I thought this had been sorted but how sad am I. We were sent a replacement sim for a phone number that didn't have a problem with.

  • chanandalabong Miss Chanandler Bong (@chanandalabong) reported

    @tescomobile Yes all compatible iPhones and yes, O2 removed a mast near by because of various issues. Used to have great 4G coverage but bugger all now.

  • EdwardJRhodes Edward Rhodes (@EdwardJRhodes) reported

    @tescomobile you've banned me from making outgoing calls for no reason and your webchat team refuse to help. Beyond disgusted as I'm trying to deal with an urgent personal situation

  • a6kendal Alistair Lawson (@a6kendal) reported

    @tescomobile Moto g(100) all emergency alert settings on, V12 up to date, but no alert on Sunday why?

  • naffnaff85 Nathan Alexander (@naffnaff85) reported

    @tescomobile If it keeps going off I assume the only solution atm is to turn off in settings

  • slainte_mhath_ Keith M (@slainte_mhath_) reported

    @tescomobile Some feedback as many didn't receive notification or was late. My "emergency alarm" came in one minute early & I'm based in Co Durham. Other than 1 min early no problem & the sound /vibration was loud enough,even with my moderate hearing loss

    @tescomobile I have sent a DM with full details. If you are able to resolve my issue I would be most grateful…

  • nhedges14 Neil Hedges (@nhedges14) reported

    @tescomobile @Coley61 It looks to me like the emergency alerts are enabled in settings by default! So that isn't the explanation.

  • CaraSlater101 cara slater (@CaraSlater101) reported

    Hey @tescomobile, did the emergency alert work on your network - all 3 of us on Tesco mob, different phones, some old some new, none of us got an alert.

  • VforBeni Rebecca Vendetta 🖤 (@VforBeni) reported

    @tescomobile why have I received yet another two emergency alert alarms..

  • LeahHumphries21 Humphries BA (Hons) (@LeahHumphries21) reported

    @Calopumi @tescomobile Aww poor you. Mind didn't go off, and I'm on Tesco mobile... I am so happy. My partner...also Tesco went off

  • MOMXW Rugby Unicorn ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 (@MOMXW) reported

    @emmapoulton13 @ThreeUK @tescomobile And they are on the O2 network which I'm on and mine was fine. Maybe your emergency notification settings are off?

  • CarolineCamero2 Caroline Cameron (@CarolineCamero2) reported

    Didn't get it either- emergency alert settings were on @tescomobile

  • TayntonGraham Graham Taynton (@TayntonGraham) reported

    @tescomobile Three Tesco Mobile users in this household. Two of us got the alert, one didn't. The one that didn't get it is a nearly new Samsung 5g phone running Android 13. Alerts on the phone are all switched on, and the phone was in a good signal area.

  • SuzeebluClark Suzeeblu (@SuzeebluClark) reported

    @tescomobile Ok Liz. It's just a coincidence that the Tesco mobile users didn't receive it despite all their phones being compatible and no other issues....Thanks

  • marcgoodall1 Marc Goodall (@marcgoodall1) reported

    @tescomobile Hello My wife is experiencing severe technical difficulties trying to log into her Tesco mobile account. Every single avenue she has been down, it hasn't worked

  • marcgoodall1 Marc Goodall (@marcgoodall1) reported

    @tescomobile Experiencing ongoing trouble trying to log into my wife's account to upgrade mobile phone

  • TheClownChick The Clown Girl (@TheClownChick) reported

    @suzanne2608 @ThreeUK @tescomobile I ran a poll on Facebook and although none of my friends on Three received the alert, I have friends on other networks who also didn't receive it, even if people on the same network in the same area did. Theres no obvious pattern as to who did and didn't get it.

  • HMK39495853 HMK (@HMK39495853) reported

    @tescomobile why didn't my phone get the emergency alert this afternoon?

  • ttb1965 TB (@ttb1965) reported

    @finlay_mclellan @tescomobile Yes it was 8 mins late, but the EE network was on time. Fair amount of people on here complaining to Tesco who have stock response that the mobile may not be compatible or emergency notice not enabled. Utter rubbish. Think their network needs sorting

  • bethonieboost Bethonie Waring (@bethonieboost) reported

    @ThreeUK @tescomobile My bad, I think it's O2 that does Tesco.

  • finlay_mclellan Finlay McLellan 💙 (@finlay_mclellan) reported

    @ttb1965 @tescomobile Did your alert eventually come through? It's weird that the only person to get the alert in this house was my son's girlfriend who is on a different network provider.

  • __zba_ Abs (@__zba_) reported

    @tescomobile I never got the alert, my mum who's on BT did, (I've already looked at that gov site you've linked in other tweets and my phone is compatible) is there any other reason why?

  • BertieBottBean Professor Bott (@BertieBottBean) reported

    @finlay_mclellan @scotgov @tescomobile It’s nothing to do with your network provided. It isn’t a text message. It’s sent via radio to add the alert to your phone.

  • ttb1965 TB (@ttb1965) reported

    @tescomobile You're so funny Jade. We know the details but I like others didn't get the alert on time or not at all. I suggest you check your system. 8 mins late is a long time in an emergency
