People trying to call me on my mobile are suddenly receiving a message saying The number is not recognised.

 I can make out going calls and send and receive sms text messages.

Im with PAYG and its topped up .

Start by checking your postcode for faults http://status.o2.co.uk/
Then turn off phone and remove sim card, wipe it with a dry cloth and then try again.

Sounds the most likely cause.

@Alison3 At least O2 are aware of the problem. You may find it takes some time before the issue is resolved. There are many reasons for mast problems, and O2 do not give timelines for repairs, so you'll have to be patient.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

Sometimes these faults can only affect certain number ranges or only contract or PAYG etc.
