The removed posts contained private communications between other parties, and should not have been on here.

Furthermore, the way that they were written risked misleading people as to sequences of events and actions by certain parties. For instance, a statement "I have received ..." isn't the same as "I phoned up and asked about ... [and later got a forwarded email reply]". That party has told me that this phone call approach was the first he knew about it.


As for other comments above, it is still just speculation at the moment. There are still things happening, and it's expected to play out this week. I'd say don't destroy the SIM card.

The message may differ from different resellers depending on their motivations; some are approaching other networks - even though some SIMs are still working, some can be replaced, or they may all start working again. I'm not rushing with a similar replacement offer (valid to Oct 12th) to what petkow mentions, though I know slightly more of the detail.
