O2 services reduced after equipment damaged by thieves Tuesday, 17th May 2011
Customers of the mobile phone company have reported significant problems with basic services after equipment was damaged by thieves at an undisclosed location in East London.
Customers across London, east Sussex and Kent cannot make calls, use the internet or send or receive texts and emails after essential equipment was damaged in the early hours of this morning. Engineers are currently working to replace the damaged and stolen equipment which is expected to be back in service later this evening.
O2 have declined to go into detail about the incident, though a spokesperson has commented that it was "a well organised theft". Despite this significant service interruption, O2 has emphasised that they are making every effort to "restore full service as soon as possible following this unforeseen incident".

M&S has signed up to O2's "You Are Here" location-based marketing scheme Monday, 17th January 2011
Marks and Spencer has signed up to O2's "You Are Here" location-based marketing scheme for six months, with its first offer of a smoothie for O2 customers. The mobile operator has extended its location-based marketing service, O2 More, to include Marks and Spencer, in preparation for a full payments service to roll out in parallel in the summer. The service is triggered by the customer's proximity to a location, which is found by using GPS on the user's phone. If a nearby retailer has an offer available, a voucher is pushed to the customer, who can redeem it in-store. Read more on Brand Republic.
