3 roaming was down for 24hrs - country wide

This was the case all day yesterday and for part of the day before and is still the case today.

If you are outside the coverage of a 3 cell,you roam on vodafones 2.5g network.

This has not been possible for 48hrs now meaning I and probably many others have no service.

They are aware of the problem and expect it to be fixed by noon today and say its vodafones fault...

If it is vodafones fault I smell a rat as I see no one complaining here that their network is down-so its not a tx issue, it's related to who they allow to roam on their network and at present they are not allowing 3 customers to do so...

It's back here now in the last 5 minutes - phew!!

I'd just got off the phone to customer services too.

Dellas

Have to say I wasnt effected mind you I have good 3 3g coverage where Iam and never have roamed onto Vodafone.

Clearly Dellas since you got your 3 phone you must have never left the pale
but seriously though lots of people who might have 3 would have to travel outside 3's coverage area(which basically means anyone outside most big towns and certainly anyone on most roads connecting those towns) and were affected.

I understand from 3 customer services that Vodafone switched off all roaming yesterday whilst fixing something and forgot to turn it back on :rolleyes:

How convenient for them.

[On another note my brother has joined 3 (which was going to be potentially embarrasing if he had no coverage)
I got him a 6680 which i swapped with him for my v975.

The 6680 is a seriously georgeous phone!! And its nice to have the familiar nokia shortcuts back again.]

Typical Vodafone, 3 may have been better off getting there roaming from O2
