According to unofficial sources, prolonged load-shedding had disrupted the main server of both companies. However, the information could not be verified officially.
A spokesman for Ufone, while confirming the reports, said that technical staff was trying to bring the services back. He, however, said that reason behind sudden service failure was not immediately known.
