I haven't received it yet on o2

Arrived at 4 30pm rather delayed but at least same day

Not received mine from talkmobile yet.

I'm on O2 and haven't received anything.

Yep got mine 👍

Please ask your reporters to stay at home, stay off the streets, they are not vital, stop breaking the quarantine.

Haven’t had this. The Gov should have used a Cell Broadcast rather than an SMS as SMS messages can be delayed by hours.

Nothing from giffgaff so far.
