    I'm on the 3 mobile network and none of my texts are being recieved by O2 contacts.

    I can send fine to vodafone.
    Anyone else having this problem and know why? Or how to fix?

    You're the only person I know who's on 3! And Sadly, you're not enough to make it a reputable network, in my eyes :P

    just called them
    they told me to go to the three store and get them to look at it
    useless
    only good thing about that phone call is that they played 3 is the magic number when they put me on hold

    Both are inferior to Meteor. That's the real problem

    I thought this was common knowledge? If you have are on the 3 network you can't text anyone on the 02 network.

    Google stuff like "cannot text o2 from 3" without quotes for more info.

    I moved to 3 today.

    Mostly for data usage. I don't like anyone enough to be bothered texting them.

    Did you by any chance port your number over to 3 recently?

    I'm with 3 and can send messages to everyone trouble free bar one person. Can't remember what network he's on but sometimes it just refuses to send a text to him.

    Am having same issue here in Bandon as well, can't send or receive texts with 3 as of yesterday evening!
    Wife will call India when she is back from shopping :-)

    As for the reason we have 3 is it so the wife can skype with her family in the US! Honest!

    You keep telling yourself that and we'll keep believing it. :p

    Is this issue location specific or does it appear to be happening everywhere?

    Same happening with me and the wife too. She's 02 and i'm 3,only got a message she sent yesterday morning just now. Never happened before,i'd imagine it's only a temporary glitch. I'm in Dublin.

    I am on three and I did not get some texts. Others were taking hours to send and I am sure other were taking hours to get to me..

    The problem is due to an transmission failure on O2's side. BT is looking into it and it should be fully sorted soon.
