focusrsst2 Hi sorry your having problems you could try the my network app to see if there's any problems in your area.

focusrsst2 - In addition to the helpful suggestions already made, you could try sending texts over 2g only. I know it's a nuisance to turn off 3 and 4g if you use data, but I find texts send and are received much more efficiently over 2g. Might not make any difference but perhaps worth a try ! Good luck.

Hi,

Try each of these things and see if they work -

1) Turn your phone off for 5 minutes and then restart. This means powering it down completely, not just turning the screen off.

2) Check for signal problems or maintenance with your local mast (UK only). You can do that here -

3) Try doing a manual roam. This resets your phone's connection to the network. You can find instructions for doing this here -

If you're still having problems, try taking your SIM out and popping it into a different (unlocked/O2) phone and trying another SIM (from a different provider) in your phone. This will help to determine if the problem lies with your phone or the SIM card.

Hope that helps 😉
