    I would...but that's gone down too :eek:

    Slight capacity issue on website as well as network :(

    It does seem to be becoming a bit of a recurring theme with O2.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    which is odd, I've had no problems in the Midlands all day...in fact the only thing I still can't get to work is the status page

    If some numbers work and some don't, even if they're in the same room, maybe it's a database problem.

    I hope someone made sure the backups ran last night.

    I would hazard a guess that the "Network" is not down but their bluddy systems are Wife's company phone works fine in the Pub mine says sim can't connect to O2 and the signal strength is very strong on hers....Perhaps they will give me extra free minutes , except I cant use what I already pay for , and I refuse to use SMS and oh I couldn't use my unlimited WiFi cos I can't connect , never mind. Perhaps they will pay for my wifes glass of wine since she came in to the pub to see why she couldn't contact me, and thinking about it perhaps they will pay for my Pint(s) which were somewhat ruined by her coming to look for me :beer: :cool:

    It's down for me now. I'm currently in Gloucestershire.

    This afternoon I was in London and it was working fine, as I made a few phone calls.

    It's odd - family have GiffGaff sims working fine, but a Tesco one is not.
