We have got same problem at the min . Myself and my boyfriend have been having same problem since Sunday . We have been on to 02 last 2 few days . They have sent us out new sim . Put new sim in today and it still happening . We though it might Been an area thing as we live on bottom sydenham hill .
Ok so I did live chat with O2 support and have to say they were very helpful. Was told it was a problem they were aware of and were working on. As I am on a plan where I only have limited text allowances, I asked them if I'd get back my allowance for the wasted sent texts. I was told for every text sent where multiples were sent I'd get back those texts - hope that makes sense! They also got me to reset all my settings, take out SIM card and wipe it and gave me a code to call from my phone. Not sure what all that did however since then I have been sending texts without any problems.
Oh this is me too! My out going texts are saying failed, but apparently been sent 7/8 times and I can't receive messages! Glad to know it's not just me, thought my phone died - but had noticed it had worked in London earlier in the week. Off sick now and feel like no contact with the outside world as a result :( That might be seen as a good break too :)
Spoke again with O2 this morning who began by saying there was no fault in the area and it must be a fault with my phone. I showed her the online conversation I'd had with O2 on Friday where they said there was a fault in the area, and how they had checked my phone and ruled out any problems with it. I also told he about the EDF and all the other people who were reporting the same problems. At first she persisted with the fact it was my phone and yet again went through all the unnecessary checks. I insisted that it MUST be an area problem as as soon as I went outside of the area, my texts sent properly. Anyway, upshot is she will log it with the engineers but as not many people have apparently reported it, it is not seen as urgent. So, if you're experiencing these problems, please report it to O2 to escalate the urgency!

has anyone else been charged extra by O2 for sending text messages with emoticons in them?


I get 'free' text messages but noticed they were charging more each month and when I queried it, they explained that whenever I use an emoticon they treat that as a multimedia message which is chargeable if I go over a limit. Wasn't exactly clear in the small print. Their adviser told me to use facebook messenger and whatsapp instead (I already do).


I know I deserve all I get for using :) :)) :(


(sorry if this is slightly off topic, just being nosey)

Blue - I was sending as SMS (or so I thought), thanks for that didn't know that mms wasn't inclusive.


SJ - no I didn't type a smiley, I downloaded the emoji keyboard and I use that (mainly for the emojis that aren't smileys). am using whatsapp much more now but if there's a rubbish signal it doesn't work well.

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
