Tried to use the PayPal Here app for the first time at a photography event last night. I paired the card reader with my phone and updated the firmware before leaving home. At the venue I had a 3G signal, but no wifi. On trying to login to the app, I got 'login failed - a server with the specified host name could not be found' I called customer service and was asked if I was on the 3 mobile network, which I am. Was told that there is an issue with 3 not being able to connect to PayPal's servers. Was also told that it is intermittent but PayPal can't do anything about it. Tying to login from home now over 3G and getting the same message. If I'd known of these issues beforehand I could have done something about it, maybe bout a PAYG sim from another network. Disappointed in Paypal's lack of information on this. Also where can I find out more about this issue from 3?
