VODAFONE bosses have said mobile telephone calls on the network are now working, following this morning's blackout.
Thieves broke into a technical facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire, overnight, stealing specialist hardware that controls the network.
It left hundreds of thousands of Vodafone customers between Oxford and Salisbury, Wiltshire, without any access to the mobile telephone network.
At 12.30pm today, spokesman Richard Wray said 2G, 3G and voice services were now working again.
Text and voicemail services should be available over the next few hours, he added.
He said there had been no threat to the privacy of customers’ data.
