    We are currently experiencing issues with the O2 network in the UK. As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily restricted access to O2 while we work with our roaming partner to investigate the root cause. Affected devices may show as connected to O2 but will not have active data. We recommend ensuring your device is configured to automatically select a network, as alternative supported networks : EE, Three, and Vodafone remain fully operational. We will provide further updates as our investigation progresses. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please note: this issue affects Black Profile SIMs used in the UK only.
