Mobile phone users have been warned to expect problems with their signal as O2 carries out further work.

The network provider suffered a huge 12-hour blackout last Thursday and millions of customers were left with no signal.

The country was sent into technological oblivion and people were forced to communicate face-to-face rather than by Snapchat.

O2 has since apologised for the blip in coverage but has today warned people in Maidstone that the signal may drop while work is carried out.

An automated text sent out said: "To improve our network, we're carrying out essential work in ME15 6AT.

"While we do, your signal might come and go. We'll keep you posted though.

"The work will happen on 18 Dec."

Further work in the ME14 area will take place on December 23.
