Provider gives the all-clear |
Fixed mega disruption in the cell phone network
The mega disruption in the O2 mobile network has been resolved!
Thousands of the provider’s customers could not make calls nationwide for hours on Thursday. “The first measures taken by our technicians have stabilized the networks,” said an O2 spokesman in the evening.
The reason for the restrictions on mobile telephony was a fault on a voice transmission server, the company announced on Thursday afternoon. According to the information, a large part of the telephone calls could be transmitted via other servers.
At allestoerungen.de, reports of alleged failures at Vodafone and Telekom also increased, although not nearly as much as at O2. The reason for this may have been that Vodafone and Telekom customers called someone in the O2 network and thought that the lack of connection was due to their own network – but in fact the network problems at O2 were the reason. “We very much regret the resulting inconvenience,” said the O2 spokesman.
