@British_Airways years after Barclays upgrade vouchers launched you still can't book these flights online, when will this be fixed? Phoned the call centre and after a 15 min wait told their systems are down since yesterday - why no automated message rather than make callers wait?

Hi @Barclaycard, still don't seem to be able to add Barclaycard Avios Mastercard to either Samsung or Google Wallet, despite getting an email recently saying T&Cs for Google Wallet have changed. I get a msg 'card issuer won't allow to add card'. Why is that? Apple Pay seems ok.

@EDI_Airport looking at @flightradar24 it seems like flights are taking off again - would be good to have an update on expected time to clear the backlog and when flights will start landing again?

@RBS_Help your status page says no problems but the website (and all the tweets from other customers!) say differently. App is showing the same issue.

Really enjoyed your show last Thursday @Colin_Cloud - absolutely incredible and my friend being called up on stage reinforced that it wasn't just a setup! Have realised it was a *decade* ago I first saw you at #edfringe, congratulations on your massive success since then!

@ktrtw @betterman010124 @iD_Mobile_UK Same, have full signal and can make calls but no data.

@betterman010124 @iD_Mobile_UK I don't have any service either

@iD_Mobile_UK Hiya have you lost service today as I have zero service all day

@iD_Mobile_UK @betterman010124 Same issue here - EH14. That link just seems to be to a coverage checker rather than a service status? I've got full bars and can make calls but no data. Worked fine yesterday.

@betterman010124 Hi there, there are no UK outages that are ongoing. This sounds like a potential local outage in your area. This can be checked via the below link. However, if you need further assistance with this, feel free to send us a DM. We'd be happy to help. three.co.uk/support/networ… -Lauren
