2G and 3G Service Interuption
We have identified a connectivity issue on our network which has affected both 2G and 3G service in parts of East London, North London and Kent. Customers in these areas may be experiencing difficulty in making or receiving mobile calls, texts or using data. Our Engineering team are working on the problem as a priority in order to resume full service as soon as possible.

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.

Where are you getting these updates from?
By the way. Im in Aveley, Essex and my phone is down too.

Hello slight_smile
You can see what little there is on o2's site:
http://status.o2.co.uk/
Iv been awake since 6am, so I personally saw the changes in update msgs and then the removal of the postcode checker service.
Take a peek slight_smile Not much to see but you know, atleast we were told theres a fault. Its something :robotwink:

btw just noticed they updated page again to put back the postcode checker box, just remember before you get excited that it says your postcode is fine, it does mention above it that the postcode checker wont show this network failure...dunno why that is tongue
