Spain has been hit by a major mobile network outage just weeks after a massive power blackout disrupted the country. The outage, reportedly caused by network upgrades from telecom provider Telefónica, affected emergency phone services and landline communication in multiple regions.
Emergency services in areas such as Aragón, Extremadura, the Basque Country, and the Valencia community were forced to provide alternative contact numbers as residents were temporarily unable to reach the 112 emergency line. Telefónica acknowledged that their updates had disrupted certain services and said efforts were underway to restore full connectivity.
By late morning, service had resumed in several areas, including Valencia, Aragon, La Rioja, and Andalusia. According to Downdetector and Spanish outlet El País, the issues began around 2 a.m. Most users reported a complete outage or no signal.
Spain’s Ministry for Digital Transformation stated it is actively monitoring the situation and seeking clear updates from Telefónica. In the Basque Country, call disruptions were occurring at random and were not under the control of local emergency services.
This follows a major electricity blackout in late April, which lasted nearly 23 hours and affected millions across Spain and Portugal. That power failure disrupted transportation, communication systems, and daily operations, including hundreds of flight cancellations.
