v-mail-file-9 is now available for customer use after some essential maintenance.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Due to previous issues and system upgrades will need to perform some emergency maintenance on the 18/12/2008 at 12:30 pm.

This will involve switching from our previous nat proxies (nat.gradwell.net - lon-ppc-3, nat2.gradwell.net- lon-ppc-2) to our new nat proxy system (natproxy.gradwell.net). We do not anticipate any down time to customers for the migration to this, and customers will not need to make change configuration changes to their phones. If customers do see any registration problems we ask that they reboot the phone in question and if they do continue to have problems to contact the support team.

We apologise for any inconvinience caused.

We have been made aware of large emails delays through our outbound email relay servers. Our server admins are currently looking into the issue and we will post further updates when available.

Update: This problem was resolved by 18th December 2008.

We have experienced a short outage lon-ppc-3, which is our main NAT proxy for customers on private networks on the single line and VoIP Centrex systems.  This server has been hard rebooted and brought back online.  The majority of phones should automatically re-register, however, if you experience any issues, we would recommend rebooting your phone.
