O2 services are down?

[femaleacid]

Noticed my phone wasn't sending text messages and wouldn't let me make a phone call. I turned my phone on and off and it would let me send a text message then the network would go off again...
I thought my new phone had been blocked because it happens sometimes when you buy 2nd hand phones so I put my SIM in my iPhone and nope.. no network.

I've heard O2 is down.. is anybody having similar problems?

[Paul the 6th]

yeah o2 has dropped a boo boo... not that I will notice the difference as I have around 5-6 dropped calls/day on average :)

[DaveRushton]

Mine is fine at the moment, no problems.

[femaleacid]

I don't even have that :lol: it bloody sucks though.
I hope it isn't like when the Blackberry servers went down for AGES - then again they got £40 worth of free applications.

[DaveRushton]

Blackberrys are lame though!

Hmm, this could be why I couldn't get hold of Squirrel Hunter earlier, I just put it down to finally having some good luck for a change

[robh539]

[Noddy]

O2 OK here in sunny Donny.:confused:

[femaleacid]

It works then goes back off again :(

[dizzyblonde]

Ahh that explains a lot. Thought it were either mine or YCs HTC playing up again!

[DJ123]

need to get on a better network ;)

[femaleacid]

I'll send a virus through your phone the second my network comes back you cheeky bugger!

[YaelD]

[femaleacid]

Strange you should say that actually because my iPhone worked but not my Samsung :lol:

[MisterTommyH]

Well both my iPhone and htc are working (on Orange).

They might be robbing b*stards but the network usually works.

[Dave20046]

just got hit. annoying.
Lucky I have a backup orange (actually the orange is the primary, and the o2 is the backup usually as orange are shoite)

[fenjer]

some folk near me have had issues too - but mine has been fine all day.

Lucky :( i only realised when I tried to call out it just wouldn't do anything.

[Winder]

Mine is ducked. This funning phone is getting on my baps! Nothing but funning trouble and the bar stewards at 02 are useless winkers.

[Richie]

my iphone on O2 is on the Fritz, but my wifes, son & daughter O2 phones are fine...

[Dave20046]

Mine's a 'classic' phone which is on the balls, seems to be all colours and creeds.

[Paul the 6th]

Just had a txt from someone saying they've tried calling me 7 times but answerphone each time.. Not had any calls through since lunchtime.

[xXBADGERXx]

Been sending texts on O2 all evening with no issue

[Paul the 6th]

I can send txts and receive them, just had no calls through all day then got a txt saying they'd been trying to call me for ages. Weird.

[xXBADGERXx]

Only you or DP call me anyway ......... the drivel is never missed :)

[appollo1]

bloke in work has been having problems with his o2 all night

[yorkie_chris]

Mine's intermittently knackered.

Kinda nice to know it's the network since I was thinking this was f***ed HTC #3.

Awww snake... I'm getting choked up here with nostalgia

[femaleacid]

Awww snake... I'm getting choked up here with nostalgia

I remember i bought the indestructible Nokia 3310 when i was 9 and i played snake. Same day i dropped it down toilet by accident, didn't realise and flushed. How the thing flushed i will NEVER know.

Still heartbreaking to this day.

[yorkie_chris]

I have no idea how people manage to do that?

P.S you will be giving TSM a run for his money with display pics like that :)

Neither do i, i must have been on toilet while playing snake LOL.

Who's TSM? Well.. If they like Sabina Kelley then there's plenty more where that came from ;)

[slark01]

It's slowly coming back up. I know the the reason for the outage, but i've been told to keep my mouth shut.
What I can tell you is that it's not actually o2's equipment that has gone down.

Wow, really? I hate being told i can't know.. Makes me want to know more :lol:
The worse scenario i can imagine is somebody hacked the system but its very unlikely.


Mines been up and running since 9:00 this morning, hope it stays up!

[slark01]

I hate getting told what the problem is, only then being told I cannot tell others. Why tell me in the first place. Grrr!
No hacking involved.

Well i hope its fully working soon. Not just for me but people rely on their phones for work and business if its not fully running by tonight its going to cause a bit of havoc.

Mines fine now i have full signal.

[Sir Trev]

All our Blackberry users here are on O2 - they are not impressed. I only qualify for the standard voice phone at my grade and my FD is not impressed that my simple Nokia is unaffected.

9.. NINE.... I was working for said company in question when you bought that. Ah, the days when custom covers and putting whatever ringtone you wanted on your phone were kicking off.

I still remember sitting there at BT Cellnet in Bury (it will ALWAYS be BT Cellnet to me) and getting shouted at for being on busy AGAIN because I was about 8 minutes into pressing 9,8,2,#,#,1,#,5,5,6,5,#,#,5,#,7,4 to get the 'A-team', 'James Bond' or 'Take on me' on my phone....

Who's TSM? Well.. If they like Sabina Kelley then there's plenty more where that came from ;)

I think google is about to suffer some outages

; )

What I can tell you is that it's not actually o2's equipment that has gone down.


I committed two line to memory from my days there:

"I'm sorry sir, all we can tell you is that the BT Cellnet engineers are on site looking in to the issue and we will update our users as soon as we know anything"

Sounds familiar
; )

"I appreciate you bought the handset over 12 months ago and got the IMSI message on the screen on christmas day when your son first turned the phone on but there is nothing we can do for you by way of refund or exchange. I'm very sorry"

Ah, the good old days

Sabina Kelley website. Works wonders :D


But yes, when I was nine it was my first ever phone and I want it back even to this day. Smartphones have nothing on Nokias.

[slark01]

I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of...Landline.....Fax Machine....Skype.....Email.
The only reason why i'm asking is that the news thinks that o2 going down is a major catastrophic event.
Get real!!


Ste.

[femaleacid]

E-mail fair enough. But it's not the same sending somebody an E-mail calling them a co*k now is it :lol:

And as for landline, I only know my grandmas and she's not good at banter.*sigh*

I agree, I've just seen something on the web saying "Does O2 (Cellnet) owe you money".

There will be some legitimate cases of this but there will be loads of scallies ringing up asking for compo because they pay for a service they did not receive and are emotionally stressed following the outage. Get a grip, crap happens

I don't know, I'm always e-mailed or texting GruntyGiggles calling her a cook

LOL sounds fair! ;)

And it is ridiculous people want compensation for it. It went down for half a day! If it was for a few days then maybe because like I said people depend on their phones for work and NEED them but some just are too glued to them (like me) but go over the top.

I thought my phone had been blocked, shat myself.

[SoulKiss]

The problem was with 3G authentication, worked that out this morning.

Fix was to switch off 3G

They didn't go public on that because they don't have the kit to support everyone on 2G at once.

Was someone on the news griping about his business suffering. But surely a business would have a landline...? We all coped perfectly well only twenty odd years ago before these damn things took over our lives!

Couldn't everything just be turned off a few days to see what happens? I mean the horror, people having to write letters, use landlines and meet in person.

[femaleacid]

O2 OK here in sunny Donny.:confused:

Mines okay now :)

[SoulKiss]

Thats cos they dont have 3G in Donny :p

[hindle8907]

Quick call to o2 and ask for all calls to be diverted to another number mobile or landline.
Simples.

[Noddy]

Thats cos they dont have 3G in Donny :p
LOL, we don't have much of anything here in Donny, even broadband is painfully slow. :smt022
