Text sent on the day. No signal bars visible in top corner.

Hi there, I have recieved a parking charge fine to my car. At this shopping centre, it is signed as free to park for 4 hours, until 6pm and then free thereafter. So, altogether based on the fine, my car was there 30 minutes over the “free” limit.

The driver went into the cinema to watch a film, and tried to text the number given for the link to pay, phone had no signal- text wouldn’t send.

There is a screenshot of this text message taken at the time it wouldn’t send, with the no signal bars visible in the top corner of the screenshot.

I was wondering if there were any grounds based off the text or anything amiss on the actual notice for me to contest the charge?

I have one image of the parking sign which I can post if required. I am unable to get any further pictures of the parking signs as I live 3/4 hours away from said car park.
