Tesco network is down?

masterboy123

Is your tesco mobile working?
Mine is not working in Dublin....
tried restarting phone but still no signals

anotherlostie

Yes same here for about last half an hour.

karlyk1

Here we go again... hope it's not down as long as the last time. Normally a great provider, but this lark is a pain in the h*le. :mad:

jamie72

Same here on tesco (Dundalk). Girlfriends on 48 and she's off as well. Looks like o2 ****ed up again. It took twelve hours to fix last time.

I've never cringed for a network before but ..

timc1

It's down alright, hopefully it will be back for Christmas.

timc1

I can not log into their website either......

Celly Smunt

48 is down also, probably an o2 problem

michael999999

Same here in kerry!

aongo

and Sligo

Chazzy

podgeandrodge

Gas, you want to find out if you are alone in your problems - only place to find out is on Boards!

mincepie1

Think its about time to get that whats app program for smartphone or wifi tablet can send free texts to mobile on it i think ? usual in situations like this .

podgeandrodge

your webtexts or app texts won't work, the network is down.

mincepie1

SimonQuinlank

ballymac676

cruhoortwunk

Folks their whole network is obviously down, I don't think there's any need for anyone to say 'down in Aghascraw'

Fr. Ned

It's down in Aghascraw too.......
















Sorry.....I'll get me coat........

stooge

Joke at this stage. More outages in the last few months than I had in 7 years with meteor. Seems random. The OH joined tesco 5mins after me but has near full service.

navara man

not working in cork :mad: Tesco have just loss a customer

jscully2403

at least they offer double and triple credit,,, however not a hope of spending any with no network

We apologise, again, for any inconvenience caused.We will have a further update by 9:45pm.

From their website at 22.01 - they cant even get than right.

Anyone on Twitter?

That's from their website.

I went to Meteor after the last outage but had a dealbreaker issue that they weren't willing to admit to or fix - they'd rather blame my two handsets. So I'm back with Tesco and true to form, they're down again.

I really don't know where else to go. The Vodafone coverage is poor in my apartment and I have a strong distrust of 3, due to the many horror stories I've read. I'd say O2 are about the only ones left but their billpay plans are an absolute rip off.

The network is down. Texts go through the network even if you send them using the house internet using the house electricity.

WhatsApp can use your Wi-Fi connection if available. I know because I'm using it at the moment! SMS and MMS use the network, of course.

Typical Tesco run the bill up with 02 then decide they want a better deal hold off on payments till they get what they want because of the size of the customer base noticed they were quick enough to over charge on my last bill 3 work phones down and not a car out working thanks Tesco I'm away from ye for this one

I hate to say it but I wouldn't use anyone but Vodafone or O2 for business purposes.

I'm only a start up its a easy number to remember but will be changing network vodaphone package is looking like a good one. Going to put one phone on a different network and set them to divert when uncontactable hope this might help if this happens again don't even know if it is possible

I've used both Three and Meteor for business with absolutely no problems.
This Tesco thing's ridiculous they seem to be falling over quite regularly.

Jesus lads. Relax. I've been with tesco over a year. It will be fixed soon. Its still worth the money. Stop bitching of a couple of hours lost coverage. I doubt it was intentional.

Sorry but 4 times in 5 months isn't acceptable. I defended them the first time but not again.

heybaby

Tesco use the O2 network, I don't believe there's an issue with O2 so this has to be an intentional outage by Tesco for maintenance or whatever, it's also too much of a coincidence that the last two outages occurred after normal working hours. When people rely on and become everyday dependent on their mobile phones , even an outage of several hours is immensely frustrating and unacceptable.

SpaceTime

Of course it wasn't intentional. I can 100% assure you no network wants this kind of thing to happen!

MVNOs don't necessarily share any of the host network's switching system or any of that aspect of the network.
Most of the 'intelligent' functions of the network would be the MVNO's own gear.

So, the fact that the O2 network's up, means very little really.

My phone re-registered on the network and I got an SMS that was sent earlier today but I still can't do anything on the network.

They just cost me a nights income. Plus to customers and to other business users it makes me look unreliable. Ya will just have to forgive me for being concerned.

Dont ever use TM for business. If your phone is for work then go with o2 or Voda.

masterboy123

I started this thread at 5 pm yesterday and now it's safe to say that my services are back. Yippeeee!
Thanks everyone for updates/views from different ends.

You need to get sims from different providers then, can't put all your eggs in one basket if you rely on your mobile so much for work!

I wonder does that fact that they're taking customers from o2 have anything to do with it?:cool:

Seems to be strange though that it keeps happening outside business hours,anybody know what time it came back on?

And advertise 2 or 3 numbers? And top or pay the bill of 2 or 3 phones? And as if that's not enough, carry the extra phones with you?

Not practical
