Update 23:45hrs

The intermittent problems experienced by some of our customers today have now been resolved.

Routine upgrade work on our 2G and 3G networks led to unexpected congestion affecting around 1% of O2 customers. We apologise to those customers and thank them for their patience.

Received a message this morning, to say a text I sent on 9th Feb had failed!  Tried to send a text and got failed immediately.

Reset phone by switching off and on again and text went.  Received another text from a friend, dated today (17th) and at the current time.  Seems that had been sent yesterday, Sunday.

Why does my phone stop sending and receiving texts and doesn't tell me till I switch it off?

It's a network issue.

hi 

My partner has a problem recieving texts. I do not believe it is a network issue as he recently changed to O2 and had the issue prior to joining the network. We have tried all of the obvious things (short of re-setting the handset) and some not so obvious which leads me to believe it is a handset issue

It could be that there are numbers on the blocked list - You need to check in both the phone and message app for any numbers that may be blacklisted.

Is this all texts or just from one person?
