Mobile Networks Borked

[Oakey]

I'm surprised there's not a thread on this already considering it's affecting O2, Vodafone, EE,, Three, Tesco Mobile and Giff Gaff.

Is this a result of people working from home or has someone decided to stick the knife in at this moment in time and take out a huge chunk of communications?

I'm on 3 - been working fine all day.

[Gameface]

I've got various different phones on various different networks and they've all been fine today.

[cuprabob]

I'm on O2 and never noticed any issue.

[55palfers]

On Virgin / EE - not had any problems yet.

[sc0tt]

Had a couple of faults but nothing that really hindered me today.

[Juanco20]

I'm with Virgin and couldn't make any calls this afternoon

[anonymous-user]

I’m with Vodafone and have had no issues at all.

My personal phone is on Virgin and my work phone is on O2. I've been having the odd issue with Virgin over the last week or so where it doesn't want to make a call on the first time of trying. Today my O2 phone has been having similar issues trying to make calls coming up with 'system busy'.

[Oakey]

Weird, it affected me in the North West on O2 and I looked at their Twitter page and saw it was happening all over the country, I wonder why only some users though.

i'm wondering if it's numbers that have been ported from one operator previously and that it is this operator that has the problem , the others are just seeing the impact

They use EE - Soon to be moving to Vodafone I believe
Guessing we'll all be sent new SIM cards too

[OldGermanHeaps]

I wondered, I had around 30 dropped calls today.

That is unusual.

I gave up and moved to Vodafone.

I'm on O2 and had this issue yesterday afternoon.

The phone would ring once for me then cut off. For the caller it would ring once then go to voicemail as if I had rejected it.

Virgin piggyback off EE.
O2 is O2.
They do not use the same network.

Problems on and off all day yesterday, Virgin/EE
Callers getting a message that my phone was not available , as in does not exist .
Outgoing calls dropping before even getting to dialling ,a reboot of phone seemed to help on that .
Even Virgin land line appeared to be having problems receiving calls as well , again phone not available
Perhaps the whole mobile/landline system is bending under pressure .

O2 here and got some dropped calls yesterday. Was wondering what was wrong.
