    It's not just phone signal either - I have no phone signal, and no internet/3g either - so haven't even been able to send emails/imessages etc

    Same here on Tesco. No service from midday but came back on for a very brief moment around 4 pm then back off again!

    signal on and off here. Currently have signal and can make calls. But can't receive calls, send or receive texts or data.

    Not an apology from O2, just a statement that they are investigating.

    My dd's has gone down(tesco), then up briefly, then back down again. I'll have to look out one of my old virgin contract sim cards for her. Really maddening. She's disabled and really needs her phone just in case. I don't care about the cost, I'm getting her another sim for emergencies! And dropping the contract as soon as possible.

    Tesco again, totally fine during the first outage but not this one, received calls without a problem until tonight, then I got no bars at home and couldn't make any calls whatsoever though a relative out in the sticks has been OK so far. Changed handsets and a Samsung handset is picking up a tower signal - but now it's no longer receiving calls either, in the centre of town it was fine.

    So off out for a new SIM tomorrow, tempted by Carphone Warehouse's Vodafone backed no-frills talk and text, for an emergency it should at least work.
  • Still no phone since about 3pm.

    I've had no signal since approx 3pm :mad:
    Since starting again after beanie: June 2016: Child development DVDs, Massive Attack tickets. July: Aberystwyth trip, hotmilk nightie. Aug: £10 Hipp Organic vouchers, powerpack. September: Sunglasses. October: £30 poundland vouchers.
  • Whats this £10 for all o2 customers, from the last outage, I never received any voucher, just a small discount on the monthly bill
  • Unable to get a stable WIFI Connection on Iphone 3GS , forced to go 3G for internet/data use which o2 have cheek to charge me for. I put in £33 this month and most of it is gone and I haven't even used the phone.
    Airplane mode or turned off to avoid charges. Agggh:mad::mad::mad::mad::eek::eek:

  • £10 off is small fry compared to the charges I am being forced to pay because O2 are greedy barstards.
