    Wifes Tesco mobile down, limited network availabilty. Lots on news website about it, interestingly my o2 work phone is ok. Bbc website not working either.
    Given the number of IT experts on here, someone must know something about whats going on?

    It seems to be all over the UK, but no pattern as some are working and some are not.

    Mine has been down since about 4pm.

    Googled some of the forums, seems to be quite a few problems.

    My O2 phone is fine but the wife’s is playing up on the same network.

    I’d originally put it down to it being one of those shonky android things! 😈

    Cant figure why mine works and wifeys doesn’t.
    Is it the customer database thats knackered rather than individual masts?

    Has the network been reserved for Olympic use?

    My O2 phone is fine, wife has had problems on GiffGaff. Interestingly though, GiffGaff broke the news to their customers on their website hours before O2 did.

    Please be aware that we have been notified of a service issue with the O2 mobile network which started to occur at 1:30pm today. This is affecting the ability to make calls and use data services across the UK. Therefore access to e-mail synchronisation on smart phones and Internet access via 3G modems may experience intermittent service.

    Further updates can be found via the below website.

    Funny thing is that this happened to the Orange network in France on Friday.

    Yep, me too. Strangely it started off with me being able to make calls but not recieve them, but now I can’t do anything.

    I might be affected but no real desire to make a phone call desperately.

    If you’re referring to RBOS, definately not a hack, that was just good old fashioned incompetence.

    I’m fine and my wife’s phone is fine as well…Vodafone and Orange…which is surprising!

    Joking aside (yes, that was an attempt at humour!), got a few mates who are on O2 and they all seem to be humped…

    Yes. It (as with other phones) will rinse the battery trying to search for a signal.

    [conspiracy theory]
    Do O2 not provide mobile phone service to the police (and presumably security services)? and have some arrangement in place to throttle back the public network in the event of a major incident etc?

    so either they are testing this before the olympics

    or there has been an incident we aren’t being told about

    or there has been some sort of attack on the system to render it useless so that an attack can take place with better effect
    [/conspiracy theory]
