Not receiving texts on O2?

Hi,
Since around 8pm last night i've been completely unable to receive texts through to my BlackBerry phone, on contract with O2.
Tried texting myself and nothing comes through either, tried turning phone off/on, resetting phone, deleting message inbox/outbox etc, but to no avail. I can send texts fine, and they're received at the other end no problem. I can also send/receive calls.
Was wondering if anybody else has the same problem, indicating a service fault, or if it's just me?
Thanks
Mark

Have you tried to give 02 customer services a call? They might send a text to your phone to see if it is received.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
had a similar problem i phoned 02 cust services they re sent my settings still no different,they suggested removing the sim and wiping the phone contacts with a cotton bud and hey presto this worked.
If your sim is faulty after all this they will send a free replacement out
hope that helpsnever put off buying a bargain today,it may be gone tomorrow0
