A nationwide phone network has shut down in Spain just weeks after blackouts brought chaos and heavy financial damage on the country, APA reports citing The Independent.
Emergency services in a number of regions have had to provide alternative telephone numbers after network upgrades by Telefonica appears to have caused the failure.
Landline telephones have been the worst affected, according to reports in Spanish media, but all voice services by Telefonica appear to have been affected to some extent.
"We have carried out some network upgrades that have affected specific services at some companies. We are working to resolve this," a Telefónica spokesperson said earlier this morning. Some areas reported phone networks returning later in the morning.
