The operator recommends calling 112 to reach the emergency services. Orange's mobile network was the victim of an outage "since mid-afternoon" on Tuesday, confirmed the operator, which recommends calling 112 to contact emergency services.
"Calls via Orange's mobile network in France have been disrupted since mid-afternoon. Fixed telephony and mobile Internet services are fully functional," an Orange spokesman told AFP. "In case of emergency, Orange recommends calling 112, which is operating normally. Limited impact can disrupt calls to other emergency numbers (15, 17, 18)," he added.
The origin of the incident still unknown
"Orange is fully mobilized to restore calls as soon as possible. Investigations are underway to determine the origin of this incident, "added the same source.
In June 2021, the operator Orange had experienced significant unprecedented malfunctions of emergency numbers - numbers 15, 17, 18 and 112 were for many French people inaccessible or reachable only after multiple attempts.
