Calls are currently failing to/from SIP2SIM products. Reports also indicate SMS failures.
Our upstream carrier is aware of the issue and currently has an open issue (ref 8273) regarding this issue.
Customers with a O2/EU SIP2SIM product may be able to place calls by manually selecting the roaming profile, but note that the handset will roam back to the O2 profile after a short time. No such workaround is currently known for regular SIP2SIMs.
Information from our upstream carriers reports that "USSD requests on the O2 profile are failing" and they are reporting with each update that the "02 MVNO team are investigating". Further updates are expected at 21:00

Manx Telecom have been in regular contact with O2 since the issue was first identified, and we have escalated our ticket within O2 to the highest possible level. O2 have in turn escalated their ticket within Telefonica. We continue to chase in order to obtain a timescale for a permanent fix to be implemented. As soon as we have a further update, we will let you know.
