What happened

A failure at one Vodafone network hub caused a nationwide mobile outage affecting calls and data. Vodafone said most services were restored within hours, though intermittent problems continued as devices reconnected. The operator said customers without Vodafone service should have been able to reach Triple Zero through another available carrier. The precise number unable to use service was not published, so the network's roughly 5.4 million customers are exposure, not a confirmed affected count. Vodafone did not report malicious activity.
