o2 restore 2G mobile service, 3G networks still out for many – statement

Many 02 (and Giff Gaff/Tesco Mobile) users remain without 3G coverage today after a major network outage that has lasted well over a day.

o2 has now posted another update on their status page:

We can confirm that our 2G network service has now been restored. Customers who were affected should now be able to make and receive calls.

Our 3G service is starting to restore and customers should expect to see a gradual return of data services as the day progresses.

Customers affected may wish to try switching their mobile phones off and on as service returns.

We are sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused some customers and can provide reassurance that we continue to deploy all possible resources, and will do so until full service is restored.
