“@O2 just had a notification to say you’ve switched off 4G calls on my account – why would this be?” one confused customer tweeted.

According to O2‘s response, it has something to do with a change in the network.

The firm has previously said: “A device does this check against the network every time it’s restarted, and one is done at 24-hour intervals.
