[Resolved] Issue with all network services, 19th December

[techie_kev]

We are currently experiencing a major outage across our network resulting in the failure of calls, texts and data. The previous issues affecting our website have now been resolved.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience; this issue is being given the highest priority with our service providers to get this resolved as soon as possible.  We will continue to provide updates here on the Community.

Latest update – 20/12/13 @ 09:21

Calls, text and data are now back to normal and we will continue to monitor the services across the network throughout the day. Services began to return last night from approx 1:30am.

Your phone should automatically re-connect to the network.  However, your handset may need to re-register itself on our network and the best way to achieve this is to turn your phone off and turn it on again.  In some cases, you will need to search for networks manually, find 48 and then connect to it.

We will in touch later in the day with more information on the issues last night.

Thank you for your patience this evening and sorry for the inconvenience caused by this outage. We will be continuing to closely monitor the network throughout the night.  Our focus will now be on establishing the root cause of this issue and putting steps in place to ensure it does not happen again. We will keep you updated on this through the Community.

We are seeing some connections back on the network, but these have been intermittent. The process that our engineers are now working through may take some time to complete and they will be continuing to work on this throughout the night.  We will be monitoring the progress of these changes and will provide a further update to you before 8:00am.

20/12/13 @ 00:30

Our engineers are continuing to work on a number of fixes to restore service across the network.  There are a number of steps required in this process as it takes some time to bring the service fully back.

We know you are very frustrated with this, and so are we, and we would like to apologise for the inconvenience this outage has caused.   Our focus is now on getting service restored tonight and will we update you on the cause of these issues following a thorough investigation when service is restored.

We will have a further update for you just after 1am.

We are still experiencing issues getting full service restored.  Every available resource is working hard to get service back as soon as possible.

19/12/13 @ 21:20

As we mentioned in our previous update we are seeing some calls, texts and data being successful on the network.  However, the return to full service for everyone is taking longer than we had anticipated.  Our engineers are working hard to speed up this process and get your service back as soon as possible.

19/12/13 @ 20:23

We are now seeing services returning for a number of customers.  You may need to restart your phone to ensure that your phone reconnects to the network completely.

All website services are now working again. 

19/12/13 @ 19:28

Our engineers are on site and we have given this the highest possible priority.  We will have some updates and timeframes shortly and we will post them here as soon as they are available.

How do I fix the mobile data services. I need to make the 48 months internet proxy server thing again and I can't remember the information I need to put in to make a new APN. Can you please send it to me some how?? Thank you

[Anon]

you can the apn on this website if type 48monthts apns ? into google but it dont matter the whole network is down

[clairemkichelle]

When are you guys going to back up and running? I need my phone for family reasons and now I cant hear from anyone or get in contact?? this is a joke in fairness, it keeps happening and its not good enough!!!

[Anon]

I do think it is very unfair how often this happens and don't think you's take into consideration the situation it leaves some people in having no way of contacting anyone via call, text or even internet. I think it would be only fair practice to have it fixed ASAP and for anyone effected to b refunded in some way for the inconvenience. I will be strongly thinking of changing network provider.

Is this actually some kind of sick joke?? I swear ye have got to be one of the most useless, robbing, conning shower of a mobile network provider on the market. For it to go once was enough, to go twice was taking the biscuit, but for it to go the third time it really is a sure sign for people to leave ye. No service all day since 2 o'clock with really important phoncalls being awaited on and no way of them getting through?!? If its not fixed by 12am tonight its going to be my first priority in the morning to switch and I'm taking as many as my friends down with me as I can that are also with ye. Expensive enough as Vodafone are at least there network is reliable!
