@gmarkj

I have read the link on both websites posted by @Shergar?

Pay Monthly customers will be credited with two days of monthly airtime subscription charges in January.

Pay As You Go customers will get 10% credit on a top-up and Pay As You Go mobile broadband users will get 10% off a Bolt On purchase, in the new year.

This is the link I opened:

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/o2-4g-working-again-complaint-compens...

There is no mention of what compensation will be, only that the network should be working again?

Then there was a second link that DID have the compensation details on it.

Must be glitching . The independent one opened first time and then the BBC one as well. No worries anyway.

The message about network issues has dropped off the status checker page now @EmilieT.
Is it worth having a link to this thread instead as no message about it could be a little misleading...

I was without a phone all day yesterday and this had a big impact I missed a few important call! This is so annoying! How is O2 going to ensure that this isn’t something that is going to happen all the time?

Hi everyone, 

We’re very sorry about yesterday’s data issue. We understand how important it is to stay connected, especially at this time of year. 

We will be in touch with our customers shortly to share: 
• For our Pay Monthly customers, SMB business customers and mobile broadband customers we will be crediting two days of monthly airtime subscription charges by the end of January 
• For our Pay As You Go customers we will be giving a 10% credit on a top-up in the New Year and will let our customers know when it is available 
• For our Pay As You Go mobile broadband customers we will be giving a 10% discount on a Bolt On purchase in the New Year and will let our customers know when it is available 

We’d once again like to thank our customers for their patience. We’re doing all we can to make sure this issue doesn’t happen again
