Meanwhile, emergency phone lines have been restored in Aragon, Spain, but problems persist across other parts of the country.
According to El Correo, some ‘network upgrade work’ was carried out, affecting ‘specific services’.
People on social media are complaining about the outage, including a user called Amegoland who wrote: ‘Hi, @movistar_es, it’s already 9:10 a.m. Are you going to explain what’s going on? The network has gone down… again. You’ll see how they can issue the bill without any problems.’
Maximilian Sebastian Velázquez wrote: ‘Problems with my O2 landline. I haven’t had one since yesterday. O2 doesn’t answer calls. It hangs up automatically.’
Four weeks ago, panic buying spread across Spain and Portugal after a major power cut left vast areas of the nations at a standstill.
Around 50 million people across both countries were affected, with metro and train lines were suspended and traffic lights down.
Phone services were also cut off and ATM machines ended up not working as well.
