Thousands of people woke up this morning to find themsleves without reception after GO’s network temporarily went down early in the morning.

“We are regretfully suffering a network issue affecting mobile calls and mobile data. Our teams have already been deployed to assess the situation and devise the best course of action to bring services up in the shortest time possible,” GO said in a statement today.

By around 9am, reception had been restored and the network was said to be back up.

“The service has been restored and mobile calls and mobile data are back in working order,” the service provider updated users some time later. “If you are still encountering issues, please restart your mobile device. Thank you and we apologize for this inconvenience.
