Any issues sending texts at New Year?
Has anyone had issues sending or receiving texts at New Year? Normally there is some sort of delay around midnight but I haven't experienced any issues this year (on Three). I suspect people are using social media more to say Happy New Year so networks are under less strain.
Has anyone had any issues this year? Oh and Happy New Year everyone

I was standing near Big Ben to see the fireworks..... texts sent at midnight no issues, same with a voice call.... both on Three
Vodafone was also pulling in 25Mbps download so I could upload all my photos to Google Plus and also send a Snaphat no issues |

My data was fine. I'm on 3. I guess as data powered services such as WhatsApp, hangouts and Facebook messenger become more popular, traditional text messages will decrease in popularity which will lead to a reduction in issues texting and a possible slowdown of data services at busy times.

Sent texts at 00:00 NYE and had no problems using Three. Received replies at 00:00-00:01 so they arrived quickly.

Wait, it's illegal to actually watch it without a ticket but you can watch it on your phone for free - what?
