I received am alert that my 4g had been switched off by O2. Any idea why?

It usually means that there is work going on at a mast nearby, nothing to worry about, and 4G calling will still be enabled on your account.

If in doubt, just send them a message on Facebook (https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter (https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram (https://o2uk.co/O2CIG)

@mossond A search came up with this: Why has O2 turned off my 4G calls? What to do if message says calling has been stopped for you phone (inews.co.uk)

@mossond

Just reboot your phone to fix it.

I didn't find that link behind any paywall.

It gave me the first para then splattered "subscribe to i" all over the rest, @Bambino -

So I added the link for those who wanted to read what you shared 👍🏼

It didn't give me that, @pgn. I wouldn't have linked to it if it had. Must be a country thing.

I tried using a different browser than my usual Chrome and it was fully legible - must be a cookie thing. Makes you wonder... 🤷🏼‍

I'm in England @pgn and always get the paywall on the "i"; my default browser is Microsoft Edge.

I added the archive.today extension for Edge some time ago ; always works a treat ! 👍

At least you can add the browser extension, @Oxonian - it is a quick edit in the URL for me, including removal of any whacky tracking info schnuck onto the end of the URL (you'd be surprised!) based on where I got to that site from... 🙄

@Bambino may not be challenged as he approaches the Forum from way out West 😁

Curious how we all have our own little workarounds @pgn, and how some work and some do not on our different systems. 👍
