O2 Network Issues - 6th December 2018

[EmilieT]

Good morning all, 

We are aware our customers are unable to use data this morning.

Our technical teams are working on the issue with high priority. We are really sorry and working as hard and as fast as we can to fix this.

Please keep an eye on our status checker: http://o2.uk/ServiceStatus 

Latest Update:

Our 3G and 4G data services are performing as normal. Our technical teams are continuing to monitor service performance closely. We will be updating our customers later today on how we will make yesterday’s data service issue up to them and we’d once again like to thank our customers for their patience. 

A small proportion of customers have reported issues sending text messages. We can see that the vast majority are being sent and received successfully and our technical teams are investigating. Our 3G and 4G data services are performing as normal.

We are finalising how we make it up to our customers and will be contacting them later today about this. 

The Facebook mention around us giving out £75 compensation isn't correct and didn't come from us.

We used to be able to piggy back on another network. Maybe the network providers need to have a deal whereby customers can piggy back off other networks when these things happen.

@welshsteve76Not sure this would be of any use, if all of a sudden 25 million + O2 users suddenly landed on Voda / EE / Three their networks would also fail due to the influx of users onto their infrastructure

"Let them eat WiFi."

That's satire.

Well I'm heading to o2 after work to get my phone unlocked then grabbing a SIM from the nearest supermarket from another network if this issue won't be resolved for a while

@Ladylu505 an O2 store cannot unlock your phone, it will need to be done via customer service / live chat, which I am imagine will have quite a wait today

You'll have to submit a request @Ladylu505 HERE and they'll get right on it. Be aware it can take up to a week, and sometimes it can take less than an hour!

Use the My o2 app to request your phone being unlocked.

Check which network is used by the other network (giffgaff for instance runs off o2) to make sure it doesn't rely on o2 for a signal.
