    I'm on o2 and i find texts I am receiving from Meteor can take up 2-3 after been sent to come through on my phone. I rang o2 and they say its a Meteor problem so I was just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem???

    Thanks

    Had the same issue with Vodafone users (see my topic on it), and last night (late) texts from O2 were not coming for several hours later.

    Seems to be okay today...

    It definitely has to be an O2 problem. It can't be every other networks fault.

    It's caused me no end of problems over the christmas period, so I'm hugely pissed off at them.

    I seriously considering switching my bill over to another network now... and I've been with them since the Esat days.

    Ill be calling them tommrow, as its a bit tiring. Im sure there is a problem, and O2 never seem to get there techs out during weekends/holiday periods.

    Me too, and it has really wrecked communicating with people over christmas. I have been with O2 since 2001.. and I was happy til now.
    Im getting some texts 5 to 6 hours later.... utterly useless. :mad::mad::mad:

    Not just vodafone... meteor problems for me too.. and foreign networks...

    Sort of becomes a problem when someone texts you saying they took a shed load of pills and you get the message 6 hours later.. yep... I'm through with O2 now...

    Okay spoke with O2. She was aware there have been problems and not just with o2. The issue is with masts and the weather. Apparently the weather is having an affect on the masts, and there working to try resolve the matter. Its been ongoing for the last few days, but its a problem across the board.

    I'm in the same boat. Waking up to messages sent the previous afternoon. Pain in the arse. I rang them on Saturday and was told i'd get a call back yesterday about the problem but didn't receive one. She did say I wasn't the only one with the problem though. I was planning on switching to meteor anyway in the near future for the free texts, but this has definitely sped up switching over for me. Pretty annoyed to say the least as i've been on o2 since 2000 and have never had such poor service.
