Just spoke to a lovely man in O2 customer services...The "Outage" may take a few hours to repair.

Funny you mention that, sometimes-dunno why- but someone might try to call and they will get bt messages like the all famous "it has not been possible to connect you call".
Strange that...They shouldnt really get any message, my voicemail is turned off.
Oh well
Agree its getting worse, their status page says its since 12am. and at am it changed messages from along the lines of "our team are fixing this" to the short and curious one currently up.

The postcode checker is crap it currently says for my postcode
Our network is currently working fine
If we're doing work on the phone masts near you we'll tell you about it here.
Updated 04:20 (refreshed hourly). Recent faults might not show yet.
mmmmmm well I cant make calls, send texts but data seems fine 😞

im in canary wharf and my phone says 'no service'

10hours, still not fixed...think its more serious than we were told people 😞
Just a mini-update:
The status page has now changed (3rd time since 6am) and states:
"We've got a problem that means you can't make calls, use the internet, or send/get texts and emails in parts of East London, North London, east Sussex and Kent. Sorry, the post code check won't show this problem"
So that explains the weird postcode checker probs some had.

Hi,
I noticed this problem at 6.00 am at home in Grays, Essex.
Still got no service in East Ham.
But... every now and then O2 signal comes back, flat bars and then disappears!
Anyone else get this?
