And they are correct.
There was no shutdown of the mobile phone networks during or after the
incidents.
There was a request to give priority to emergency services and/or to limit
cell site logins so that capacity was always available. This was
confirmed during a conf call of all the major operators in the UK just
after the events.
[source - me, I was on the call :-)]
