I simply tried to get a SIM swap done earlier today and they couldn't as all of their systems were down. Curiously they were still able to email me (perhaps that's outsourced), which suggests not a total outage.

Their website appears to be back up so hopefully any other services are as well.

Browser webmail is down, but it's fine on my iPhone mail app. I assume thats a Spark site issue while SMX via a client is bypassing that?

Most likely

I see the rror message has changed from "an outage" to "Maintenance"

"If you need to get hold of us urgently, please drop us a private message on Facebook."

Is that the best that they can do?
