I've tried phoning my mate on 02 and it kept going "beeeeeep" off a BT line or my Orange mobile. I found when i was with 02 this happened a lot.

Oh i hate O2. And look - no need to bother with any kind of official announcement there kids, just let the punters muddle on through and call your 50p a minute line, to possibly be told that the server is down.

Luckily there's no petrol strike on at the moment - off to get me some fuel and matches...

I cant send a text at all now. Im really getting fed up. Its been like this with me all evening. I did manage to send a text about 6pm after two trys but that was the last time it would send. The call time balance is not working for me now on my pay and go and 1471 is still playing up at times. I hate this

If this is UK wide, it must be causing alot of problems, wonder what O2 will have to say.

More problems here. A relative tried to call and was told that she must have dialled an incorrect number. This happens a lot with O2 doesnt it? Won't allow me to send any texts but I managed to get through to someone on the phone after a number of failed attempts.

Hopefully all will be resolved soon.

No need for that, if you're on PAYG just call 0161 705 5000 and you get straight through to humans.

Oooops, sorry o2, that was the number you asked me to not tell people about wasn't it....

Which is the reason i've been with Orange for about 6 years and had no problems with billing or reception.

Vodaphone is reliable.

People fall for the hyped marketing of 02 and this is what you get....they spend more on marketing than the actual service.

I've been having text trouble with o2 today as well, as has my mum. I dont bother stressing about it because a) why bother its o2 b) it will be back eventually.

The big problem here, that not everyone knows, is that ( and i believe this is still the case ) o2 let " 3 " use their network, in fact i once read that 50% of the o2 network is used for " 2 " alone, so it's no wonder we o2 customers always have trouble. When you have problems like this it's usually probably down to the network going to or a backlog of texts stuck around the system.

You know what though o2 really shaft us because we can still get charged for sending texts even when the network goes down, and in order to test it to see if it is back up we need to text again, thus incurring a further charge, it'd be nice for the con merchants within o2 to actually give us that ( our ) money back. Never happen though.

...and s**t all coverage where I live!

I did have some problems with O2 earlier this evening, but strangely enough I was able to make calls by turning the phone off and on again and hitting redial!

All networks have hiccups from time to time. O2 do seem to be more affected than others, but it's nowhere near that bad to put me off them.
