Default Network coverage problems?

Just a quick one for members on here with 3G network, are you having any problems with your service today? My network coverage bar is down & i cant make calls.

Any ideas would be great

Cheers

Have you switched the phone off and back on again - standard helpdesk advice

No problems here in North London, is it a local thing - mast out for maintenance or similar

Post up your rough location and see if anyone else here is in the same area with a similar phone having the same probs. If so it may be a temporary local fault, if not it may well be the phone, but you need to work out what is at fault.

I am on Orange 3G in North Manchester and it is working fne for me today or as fine as it ever works for me

Not had any orange phone coverage since yesterday morning, orange said 3 cells were out in my locality and would be 1st April (worst case scenario) before they would be fixed. However, now that we are snowed in it will probably be down for even longer. Works mobile is on vodafone though and full signal available.
