Details
It is noted that the failure affected many operators, including Movistar, Vodafone and Orange.
Cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville have been greatly affected. This is the second major infrastructure failure in Europe in less than a month.
Subscribers cannot make calls, receive SMS or use mobile communications as a result of the outage. According to DownDetector, problems started around 5 a.m. local time.
The outage also affected emergency service telephone lines, as the pan-European emergency number 112 became unavailable in some parts of Spain.
The likely cause of the problem is a failure in the Telefónica system, which operates most of Spain's mobile networks. It is reported that the company carried out a network upgrade that did not go according to plan, resulting in a nationwide power outage for millions of residents of Spain.
