3 nights running both mine & my partneners Vodafone Mobiles have lost signal at around 1am to be restored at around 6am. This was coupled with an outage of ITV3, Channle4 and Channle 5 disappearing last night between the same hours.

Does anybody know of any maintenance going on, on nearby didgital, Mobile Phone and TV transmitters nearby????

S2 area BTW.

Cheers.

Same here too - at the moment I can only get 'Limited Service'. Actually I didn't notice it until this morning, but from the posts above I guess it's been that way since late yesterday evening. Grrr - oh well, at least I know it's not related to my phone now (and that means I can stop taking the SIM card out now :P)

It's annoying though I don't use my phone often when I need to make a call I can't. Is this what they call sods law.

Afternoon Bazza! Got a new job yet?

If it helps.. for the past hour or so I've been unable to make a mobile call (Vodafone) as it reckons the Network is busy. If they're doing maintenance, would make sense they could take less capacity..

I'm on Voda, no signal all day so far... I pay £20 a month for this?! :rant:

Just had this month's bill for my contract as well, £26 64 in total for all calls and line rental.

i was just going to start a thread on this, ever since this morning i cant ring out on my vodaphone mobile, first it was saying something, then it was saying 'no network coverage' and now it is 'network busy' i have tried phoning 2 vodaphone mobiles, and 2 land-lines with no joy, yet i have telephoned my friend who is on 3 and my dad who is on Orange and have got through!!! what the heck is happening????

Rich i pay near enough £50 a month for mine :rant: :rant:

Seeing as how noone can arrange for going out tonight ...

Do we fancy a unofficial SF Vodafone users meet?

No moby 21st century is like a person with no air

Any offers welcome :help: :rant:

Lol, I gave up on Mine in the end. I guessed it would be some sort of outage and the replies confirm this.

So how many people just about or did destroy their mobiles trying to work out what the problem was? Do you think VodaFone should compensate us :hihi:

?
