Have you considered that every man and his dog is sending a predicted
total of 200 million "Happy New Year" messages at the moment?

That's weird .A Text Message I sent to my own phone gave the "Message
Failed " message and was still shown in the Outbox as Unsent but it
also told me a new Text had arrived an it was in my Inbox .???

Seems most networks are having problems, simply due to the millions of texts
being sent at the same time.

I've had problems sending from Virgin Mobile, Vodafone, Three and Orange.

Though some sent on Virgin have been received even though they still remain
in my outbox as failed.

Considering that it happens every year? Yes I, for one, am surprised
especially when I consider the amount of income generated by text messages
and the simple solution resting in some sort of network upgrade paid for by
the huge profits made by the network operators.

Besides on this occasion it seems that T-Mobile and virtuals were reporting
failed messages even though they were being sent.

It's pretty **** to be honest - that at the very time of year when people on
a mass scale want to use text messages in order to communicate a social
occasion they are unable to do so.

Any other service would be prepared to receive complaints and do something
about it but it seems that mobile networks don't have to obey the usual
market forces. On a completely different subject it's still impossible, for
example, to obtain ACR on an UK network despite clear EU regulations
demanding its provision.

All eventualities? So you would like enough capacity for every mobile
in the world to be making a call in the same area. I doubt many of us
would be able to afford to subscribe to such a provider as their costs
would be extremely high. Haing the infrastrusture to cope with a 2
hour peak during the whole year is rather wasteful.

Given the money the networks make they could easily afford to cope with NY
Eve.

That is probably true but not what you said above.

No idea but the networks must have enough money, given what they charge
the punters for text messages. Nobody's going to convince me an SMS costs
10p or more to send.
