Vodafone Qatar network down due to 'technical issues'

Vodafone Qatar has confirmed that its network has “technical issues,” leading to a loss of service for customers.

In a tweet early this morning, the company acknowledged the problem and said that it was working to resolve the issue, which it said “might affect access to our network.”

And three further tweets sent seven hours later, the company said that the problems started when it was carrying out upgrade work on its systems:

The company went on to say that its staff were “working tirelessly” to fix the issue, and said that it would keep customers updated on Twitter.

However, it did not provide any time-frame for when the service might return to normal.

Customer frustration

Many of Vodafone Qatar’s customers have taken to social media to express their annoyance at the lengthy lack of service.

We cant really understand how is it possible for the whole network to be down and for this long. Huge failure!

Absolutely embarrassing that the network has been down this long. Done with @VodafoneQatar, this was the final straw. Hello @OoredooQatar
