Reception problems with Vodafone, network down for 3 million
February 28th, 2011 • 55 Comments
If you’re a customer of Vodafone, you may be waiting a while to make a call, or indeed do anything else with your handset. A fault means that customers across the UK can’t use their mobiles for calls, texts or data services.
The problem has been ongoing for at least six hours; the only acknowledgment from Vodafone that there’s any sort of issue is in the Vodafone forums, in response to a customer.
There’s next to no detail given, only to say the problem is UK-wide; other reports suggest the issue is affecting approximately 3.2 million customers with SIMs registered at the company’s Basingstoke data centre.
The service provider is promising a statement shortly; in the meantime, you’ll have to make do without, or using those phones with wires. Old skool.

if anyone knows how help this plz tell me
cheers
Hello,
Vodafone’s network is in tatters and they’re lying to us when we call them on 191 !!
Only way to resolve issue is to leave Vodafone and join an Operator who actually cares about their customers. My family have 4 IPhones and 4 Vodafone monthly contracts between us !! We are all experiencing the same problems !! Text messages being delayed by more than 24 hours, (many not even being delivered !!) can ‘t make or receive calls (goes straight to voicemail). Pathetic really, especially the lies and Vodafone pretending that there is no problem !!
i would like to know when the problem is going to be resolved as i am a carer and depend on my people i am on call all day every day .When i got intouch with phones for you they said it would be 48 hours this is my third phone as i care for 2
i even phoned them thinking my handset had a problem, they suggest i send it for repairs, evil people
We have now had no network for three weeks and Vodafone tell me they have no idea when the network will be working they have said that at l;east for another week or more there will be no network, my daughter is 9 months pregnant and is now trapped in the house and should she go in to labour she would be unable to get hold of her fiancée, my husband and i run our business on our mobiles but as pay as you go customers, Vodafone have made it abundantly clear that we are second class customers so irrelevant, they can give no indication as to when all the local masts will be reinstated and instead all they do is either laugh at you as apparently the ongoing network failure is very funny !!!, be rude or put the phone down, this is some of the most appalling customer service i have ever come across and we are so disgusted we will be taking the advice of he customer service manager who informed me it doesn’t really matter if my daughter cant contact her finance’s if she goes in to labour or my husband and i cant run our business if we don’t like it we should leave, so yes we are leaving and good riddance to the bad rubbish that is vodaphone
