To think DH needs to stop having a go at me about this?

346 replies

Since yesterday morning my phone has been saying no service absolutely everywhere I have gone. Just says no service 24/7. No idea how to fix it. The SIM card is in the phone. I’ve tried taking it out and putting it back in. I’ve tried turning the phone off and then back on. If it makes any difference it is O2 through Tesco Mobile.

DH literally won’t stop having a go at me about it even though it’s not affecting him, he’s had no reason to call or text me today or yesterday as we have both been with each other all day. AIBU to think he needs to stop having a go at me about it and leave me to try and resolve it?

DH has let me use his phone to call O2 and Tesco Mobile but they were not much help. They said a manager would call back but no one has called back. It’s on contract, both the phone and the SIM. I’ve attached a screenshot of where it says no service at the top, signal is normally good here and O2 says there are no issues in the area. It’s been saying no service both yesterday and today, even out the house and miles away from home it still says no service, just says no service everywhere.

I’m just really fed up of DH having a go at me about it though when I am trying to deal with/resolve it. He literally mentions it every 10 minutes even when I’ve not mentioned it.

DH is literally ranting on about it right now even though I have told him that I’m fed up of talking about it and that I will contact O2 and Tesco mobile again in the morning.

Why haven't you gone to a store to get a new SIM or get them to look at it

ChocolateCinderToffee · 28/08/2023 17:44

O2 has been crap all weekend, I am wondering if they've got something going on.

Tell your husband to shut up.

Obviously its completely your fault. Fortunately you have a clever husband who wont shut up about it. Give him the phone and tell home not to speak to you until he's fixed it.

What happens if you press the button I’ve circled
in red?

It's certainly not helping him.going on at you that is for sure. I am not in the slightest bit techy. If the problem.is at home and also away from hime, is it possible there is a problem with ur phone? I know you said the SIM card is in, but could it have worked lose? Has it been dropped perhaps? Hope u get it sorted.

If it's an iPhone you can try a reboot, this does more that turning it off and on again, it fixes software bugs (you don't lose any data). Google 'forced restart' and follow instructions. It's different on the various models so make sure to follow the instructions for you specific model. This works wonders so many iPhone issues.

Still says no service, I’ve attached 3 screenshots that show what it says. I’ve tried to use data even without service but it doesn’t work (obviously as there’s no connection/no service)

Doesn't look like your mobile data is switched on - turn on he button to the right of the airplane mode like this

Are you having the same issue? Do they literally just say no service 24/7?

Lillygolightly · 28/08/2023 17:49

Errr I hate to ask this but is he mentioning so much because you might want/need to use his phone?

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 28/08/2023 17:49

Take the SIM out and reboot the phone without it. Switch off. Put the SIM back in and restart. If that doesn't fix it then you'll need to speak to O2.

Have you asked the pain in the neck why he is so bothered about what's going on with your phone?

ElWantsACuggle · 28/08/2023 17:49

Sorry cross posted

TomatoSandwiches · 28/08/2023 17:49

Give it to him and tell him you don't want to hear from him until he has fixed it since he's so bloody smart.
I don't understand people like your DH, this is an inconvenience to YOU why does he think you've done something or it's your fault? What a twat.

My iPhone with O2 did the same something about SIM card flashed up yesterday or maybe it was Saturday I can't remember and I couldn't ring out or receive calls in. I googled it and it said to turn it off and back on again. This worked for me.

Now he’s just said to one of the kids “ask mum about her broken phone” while looking at me

Can you charge it, you are on 3% battery so nothing is going to work. Then retry.

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 28/08/2023 17:51

I've just had a quick look on Twitter and it seems to be a countrywide problem. Not sure what he expects you to do about that or why he thinks it affects him!

I will try this later, hopefully it works, not sure what I will do if it doesn’t

I wouldn’t waste my time getting a new SIM yet, but how typical that some pp have blamed you instead of your H for having a go.

These things happen, it can take a couple of days to resolved, keep contacting them.

If H think he can sort it quicker, tell him he is welcome to try. Pillock.
