Phone and internet outage

If anyone is in danger, call for help first. UAE numbers:

What to do now

  • If your landline fails, try a mobile. Emergency calls can use any available network.
  • If mobile signal is gone but Wi-Fi works, turn on Wi-Fi Calling.
  • Send texts instead of calling. Texts often get through when calls fail.
  • Keep calls short and wait 10 seconds before redialling a failed call.
  • Lower screen use and switch on battery saving to stretch your phone charge.
  • Try moving a short distance or using public Wi-Fi if calls will not connect.
  • Listen to the radio, including a car radio, for local news and instructions.
  • Check on neighbours who live alone or may need help.
