LAST UPDATE | 12 Sep 2018
MOBILE PHONE NETWORK Eir has said that the problem with its mobile coverage is fixed this evening after widespread problems were reported today, with customers in several locations unable to make calls.
Eir thanked customers for their patience for the earlier outage, which has been resolved.
“We are aware that some of our customers are facing issues with 2G and 3G calls,” the company said earlier.
“This is currently under investigation and we hope to have a resolution very soon.”
Eir said the issues were being reported “in various locations throughout the country”.
Customers took to Twitter to complain, opining the length of time taken to resolve the situation.
The company had not provided a timeframe for the issue to be resolved.
Customers affected were urged to contact Eir on its social media channels.
