Virgin Mobile services have been restored in the UAE after multiple users faced network issues on Monday.
Taking to X, the service provider announced the resumption of all services. "All services are fully restored. You will now be able to use your mobile services as normal. Contact us through our app chat if you need any more assistance. We’re so sorry!"
Some Virgin customers were unable to make or receive calls on Monday morning (July 15). Users were also unable to open the mobile application.
In a response to Khaleej Times' query, Virgin Mobile confirmed that they were "aware of a temporary disruption in our network." The service provider "apologised" for network issue and assured that "the technical team is working on a fix".
Khaleej Times observed that the network has been down for more than 3 hours. When asked about the tentative time for service resumption, a Virgin Mobile executive informed that "the service should be back soon in no time".
