> UK Government officials deny they shutdown any cell phone service.

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 :-)]
