This evening I tried to check my email on an Orange mobile but.. it didn’t work. I figured it was just me and rebooted but no, a data connection couldn’t be found. Following a quick check of our forum I found this post which seems to suggest a nationwide failure on the Orange network that’s been happening for many hours now. From what we can see the data network has been down for almost 24 hours with no signs of a re-connection.
As I write (23.10 on Sunday March 8th) the data network is still not available. Let us know if you’ve experienced the same or you are in fact able connect.
Update – 7.50 AM Monday March 9th, now back online but it was still down at 7AM!
