Recent data outage
Hi
A few days ago, while out, my (fairly recent) phone showed no service, from late afternoon, to the next afternoon, about twenty hours.
Due to a home move, I don't have home broadband, and rely on a good data level for Hotspots, etc.
'no service' was a real bind. I dug out the sim, transferred it to another phone, and it was OK!
I thought there may have been a general outage - I've just checked network coverage, and apparently there may still be an issue nearby. With the Sim transferred back again, it seems OK, if quite a faff. If you're completely without service overnight, it's a hassle, and I nearly bought another backup. Still might.

Sure. My next step is to get home broadband and add a land-line, as a back up. The phone glitch could have been anything. Switching out the sim to another phone worked - a version of, 'have you tried turning in off and on again'. That the network checker showed there is currently a problem in this area, apparently, is just a red herring.
