Is it just me, or has Orange's network been quite poor recently?

Over the past couple weeks, the network has been on and off all the time for me, and a few of my friends, sometimes being down for a couple hours at a time.

It's probably a localised problem, (I'm in Torquay, Devon), but I was wondering if theres been any reports or announcements (maybe engineering work?) about this?

funny you saying that as i opened a thread earlier today about this sort of thing as i can send txts receive phone calls make calls but cant receive txts neither can my girlfriend and im in dundee, so i dont think its localised and also been happening for 2 days now.

anyway i called orange and they know nothing about any work being done and were trying to blame my phone until i told him it was happening to my girlfriends phone as well also i put an o2 sim in my phone and that worked fine.

so away he went to technical services and i still have had no joy and even now i cant receive txts and no phone call to tell me whats hapening, so yes orange customer services are a disgrace

I remember having this problem on old BTCELLNET i remember getting my texts and voicemail 3 days after they were sent! Good isnt it?
