Mobile networks prepared for New Year surge
Date published: 31 December 2012
Mobile networks are preparing for the "busiest ever" night of texts and calls as people see in the New Year.
Last year, the busiest time for sending messages was at 00:05am.
More than two million texts were sent over the Vodaphone network in a five minute period after midnight.
Other networks have said that they would make sure their services are operating at maximum capacity throughout the evening.
This year, it is expected that more people will turn to services such as Skype, Whatsapp, Twitter and Facebook to send well wishes to friends and family.
