Title: Vodafone problems? (8th August 2011)
Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Monday, August 8, 2011, 14:42:15
Been unable to receive texts since last night.

Everything else on my phone is fine, phone calls, internet etc..

Anyone else on Vodafone had any problems today?

I had this problem once - take your sim card out and clean it carefully - and make sure your phone is clean inside. Then put it all back

Found a number to ring, and there was  message saying they were having problems with signal and trying to fix it.
Odd cause my signal is full..

Tried cleaning my sim, it did nothing. :(

Take your sim out, cover it in peanut butter (smooth stuff, not the chunky stuff!), then give it a wipe clean.

Don't know why, but it works.

I've had the same problem since about half 10 last night. People have tried texting me but get a message saying "unable to send". Should apparently be sorted in the next 48 hours. Dont think you can really do anything other than wait.
