GiffGaff - network problems, servers down, no coverage

[Bold Seagull]

Anyone else having problems with GiffGaff today? I can't make any calls or send texts at the moment.

I thought it was the iOS5.1 update, but reading below, there is obviously a bit of a situation with large parts of the network down.

This is what puts me off moving to Giff Gaff as it seems to happen fairly regularly.

This is the first time in a year I have ever had a problem and if you believe their website (no reason not to) one of their suppliers has had a power faliure due to a burst water pipe so hardly their fault.

First time it's happened to me, and I can accept it, although I'd be a little more peeved if I totally relied on my phone. The discount outweighs this inconvenience thought to be honest, although would be good to get a shift on fella's!

I heard about an outage about 2 or three months ago as well, maybe it was just a small area outage that time then.
