Vodafone’s email service apparently ground to a halt yesterday morning and is still down as of 12.20pm UK time today.
Users visiting Vodafone.net are being greeted with a “service unavailable” message stating:
We regret to inform you that the Vodafone Mail service remains unavailable. However, please be assured we are working to restore service to you as quickly as possible and we will ensure you receive regular updates on this site with regards to the status of the incident.
According to The Register Vodafone doesn’t really seem to know what the problem is.
This is a screenshot taken from the Vodafone.net page just now:

24 hour outage? Try 72 hours! I have sent test messages on Saturday and they did not arrive Sunday (and still not). The only development is now they actually have a web page announcing the outage rather than a non-existent address. Customer Services rubbish too on Saturday night 30 minutes listening to a deliberately noise encrusted Vodafone theme plus “We are sorry to keep you waiting we will answer your call as soon as possible.”
Any other ISP would be filing for Chapter 11 by now…
PS What do you think of my “no spam” email address!!
