Another Optus outage has stopped people from calling triple-0.
South Australia Police warned the public on Sunday morning that the outage affected people in the area of Angaston, 60km northeast of Adelaide.
“An equipment fault is impacting mobile voice and data services, which may affect calls to triple-0,” a police spokesperson said.
“Optus technicians are on site working to resolve the issue.
“If you are in an emergency and have no mobile coverage, seek immediate assistance from neighbours, local emergency services, Wi-Fi calling, or community support networks.”
The first alert from the telco said multiple Optus towers in the area of Angaston might be affected, but an updated alert narrowed the issue down.
“There’s an issue with one of our mobile towers in this area,” an updated alert says.
“We’re working hard to fix the problem, until we do, your mobile service may experience some issues. Thanks for being patient with us.”
