If that doesn't work, try doing a manual network select on the phone. If that STILL doesn't work, call 02 and ask for a coverage check to see if there have been any issues with the masts in your area. It may be down to coverage or congestion on the network over the last few days...

Hope that helps.

Hmmm manual appears to already selected, could that be why it's gone off in the first place? looks like I'm going to be having a little word with O2 in the morning..

He means to manually select your network. If you go onto the network selection screen, you should be able to search for all available networks in your area. Select one that ISN'T O2 (So Orange, 3, Vodafone etc.), and let your phone try to connect to it.

Your phone will then switch to emergency calls only, or simply tell you the operation is restricted. Then go back into a manual search and select O2 again. Doing this updates your phone on the network, which is basically synchronizing it with all the computer gadgetry network-side to allow it to route things correctly to your phone.

As to the person suggesting just getting a new phone on your insurance...not advisable for something like this, as if anything it would be a warranty fault, and people like me exist to prevent people making dodgy mobile phone claims

Neeja and Chris thankyou!!! Just tried your method Neeja and it's worked, I am in touch with the world once more

Getting loads of texts now, hope this happens more often, makes me feel popular a rarity indeed haha
