Orange was fine for both texts and calls around midnight.

O2 - I couldn't send a text until 1.15am !

I think 02 are running their network with much less spare capacity than the other networks. Because so many people use the payg genie sims text messages can sometimes take a while and if everyones texting at the same time the cells cannot cope. I guess it helps that orange have more cells than any other network, i could call and text fine all night although like overs have said no delivery reports.

WHY do you need so many mobiles?

T-Mobile, Orange, Three and Vodafone were all working fine in Nottingham around midnight.

02 hadn't been working properly since 2100 (network busy), GPRS was down all night

Just do LOL

I only use 2 normally, but took an additoinal one out as it had free credit on it

Yeah, the Orange messages seemed to go from my phone, but get stuck in the system. I got no status reports, until i got up this morning and had about 20, and replies of people. Friend called and said they got it at 11.00am this morn.

Well, T-Mobile here. couldnt send any text from about 23.30 until 02.15!!!! Calls were ok, outgoing, but people say they couldnt ring me they got an engaged tone! I noticed my signal kept dropping out for a few minutes (when i know the area i was in has excellent reception) Even now i cannot send messages to any 'Three' networked phone. It just comes up 'Unable to send, message saved in unsent items' I can still send texts to 02, T-Mobile and Orange?!

Has the 'Three' network crashed for incoming texts?

I'm still having problems on o2

Text's take about 3 attempts to send...calls keep saying "Failed"

Then again thats probably just o2 in general - nothing to do with the New Year!

RE: New Year (Midnight) - I managed to send all my texts without fail on o2 about 1min past midnight....they just didn't get to the people i sent them to until about 6am this morning!

MY 02 mobile seems 96% working again.

Mines going through an even worse phase than usual - Has lost its network completely and refuses to find o2 (Comes up T-Mobiles, Vodafone and Orange though?) whereas the three other o2 phones in my house are working fine...

AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH

my old Nokia 7250i on O2 is working 100%

Update: I have a full signal now (not moved the phone an inch!) though can't text or use GPRS.

Bloody useless

at midnight, i couldn't phone anyone or text anyone... was getting a "Channel Congested" message on my x3. Turned on this morning and all was working, I know for a fact GPRS was down on o2 and MMS would not send.

My phone didn't seem to let me down and I managed to call pretty much everyone in my phone book at around 1am to wish them a happy new year in a pissed up state surrounded by others in the same state. Wish it had had problems really, would have saved the apology texts I had to send to many people today....

i got texted at 3:30am yesterday, by a friend of mine, asking who i was because she didn't store my new number, earlier in the night, i phoned her up to *TRY* and say happy new year to her, but she sounded totally pissed.

i'm gonna call her up later today and apologize and just have a chat

1.25am a text from my 02 seemed to send even though it said text faild a and they tane 10p of me. my 02 seems to be 99% working again.

Got a text from one of my mates just before i went to asda on o2, that he sent just before midnight on new years eve... , some 36 hours late...

Had a number of messages to/from Vodafone and T-Mob going fine since then

what a waste of time that was, she was rude to me and cut me off because she aint well, not even giving me a chance to say sorry i didn't know... i even took time out of my battlefield 1942 game for her
