Users reported their concerns with the telecoms giant this afternoon on the complaints hub.

Problems appear to have picked up at around 3pm today with customers scattered from London to Birmingham struggling to get connected.

They took to Twitter to air their frustrations.

“I can’t send text messages at the moment,” said one annoyed Vodafone user.

While another said: “For some reason we can’t send texts?” As another said, “I can’t send texts either.”

“I have exactly the same problem,” said a fourth. “And my calls are 50/50 too.”

Another user was very upset with the developing network issues.

They said: “I’m SICK of your network Vodafone, usually I have lots of issues streaming radio, but now my texts won’t send.

“This is the latest in the non stop issues I have. SORT IT OUT.”

The network has so far urged users to head to its status checker in response to any service blips.

There, customers can confirm outages in their local area.

Meanwhile, The Sun has contacted Vodafone for comment.

How can I complain to Vodafone about a network problem?

Vodafone has a section on its website on how to complain to the network provider if you’re unhappy with your service.

It gives you steps to follow before offering you the alternative of ringing the complaints team on 0333 3040 441.

Am I entitled to compensation from Vodafone?
