18866/1899 stopped working within last half hour

Is anyone else having problems this evening?

I'm signed up with both 18866 and 1899. Used the latter earlier this evening.
However, they have both stopped working within the last half hour.
The line is just dead. No message. No ring tone. Nothing.

Called my father-in-law. Same happens on his line.
Is it a generic system fault?

Are others having problems?

Cheers,
Don

    I do hope they fix it before 6am on Monday - when Primus Saver Option 2's free weekend calls period ends.
    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
  • Same problem interminently here in Dorset with 18185, and 1899.

    I think you're right - but I'm asleep then so it matters little to me.
