Hello, 

Hopefully someone will be able to help me with this.

I have received 3 text messages this morning all saying

"Sorry, we are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."

I haven't used my phone this morning so I have no idea why this is happening. I think it may have something to do with the fact 2degrees may be testing the new towers in Hamilton (Where I live).

Any help appreciated

I've got about 6 so far this morning.  Not sure what is up with it.  I'm in Auckland so I don't think any of the Hamilton towers will affect me this far north.

I received one as a popup - the kind that comes up as a response to a USSD code like *100*1# - after sending an SMS... I'm in Levin, which has no 2degrees towers AFAIK.

I just tried checking my balance, the response was "Try Again.."
