    I've just been driving through the Warrington/Great Sankey area and I couldn't send texts from my Orange phone, it was ok earlier in the day and it's fine now I'm home, maybe there's been a reception problem in that area :confused:

    Mine has been ok. :confused:

    I would defo try and get through to customer services. About a month ago, I was unable to send picture messages, so I called and they explained they were having server problems, and they gave me 30 free picture messages for the inconvenience. :T

    I had problems between 5.30pm and 6.45pm. I am on Vodafone, but when calling a friend on Orange it said that the network was busy. I assume that was his end then.

    Bournemouth and Edinburgh for my mates and Manchester for me so I think it may have been a bigger problem than Warrington
