Restart your device: Sometimes, it can solve network problems by restarting your smartphone or tablet. Try turning off your device, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on.

Network issues can happen occasionally, so it’s always a good idea to contact your service provider directly for the most accurate and timely assistance.
Downdetector indicated the problems started just before 2 pm on Tuesday, and more than 1,000 customers reported issues. The outage affects many users throughout the United Kingdom, mainly concentrated in London, Falmouth and Manchester.
It’s worth noting that Sky Mobile operates on the O2 network, which according to Downdetector, is experiencing some issues. However, these problems on the O2 network are not as widespread as those affecting Sky Mobile.
Furthermore, The Independent has received confirmation from the network that the outages reported by numerous O2 customers were linked to their inability to communicate with Sky Mobile customers. A spokesperson for Virgin Mobile O2 acknowledged the issue, noting that it exclusively affects Sky Mobile customers and confirming that their network is operating normally.
