Mobile operator SingTel's 3G mobile network has suffered a disruption, leaving many subscribers with weak or no network connectivity--some for as long as two days. While many could not get data access on their smart phones, others also had difficulty making voice calls and sending SMS (short message service) messages.
In an e-mail to ZDNet Asia at about 7.50 p.m. local time, a SingTel spokesperson said the telco's 3G service may be down in "some limited central areas". "Our network engineers are working with our vendors to restore the service as quickly as possible. We will keep our customers updated," he added.
Subscribers irate with the service breakdown flooded social media channels such as Twitter and SingTel's Facebook page to vent their anger. They also demanded the telco explain the cause of the service disruption. Full story
