The mobile network is disrupted throughout Germany.
In some cities, emergency numbers are no longer reachable.
Hamburg/Berlin – The mobile network seems to be disrupted across Germany at the moment.
Thousands of users report failures, especially in the O2 network.
In some places there are also problems with the emergency numbers 110 and 112. In addition to Hamburg, Berlin is also affected.
“At the moment there seems to be disruption in the entire Hamburg telephone network.
In some cases, both some of our departments and the emergency call 110 are affected," the Hamburg police reported in a tweet.
The Berlin fire brigade reported "malfunctions in several mobile phone networks" via the Katwarn disaster warning system.
This should also affect the emergency call to the fire brigade and police, the report said.
The emergency lines themselves are not the source of the error.
According to the Katwarn push, this warning applies “throughout Germany”.
The fire brigade recommends using landline telephones in an emergency.
The cause of the outage is currently unknown.
