Thousands of people in the UAE were unable to contact Etislat mobile cusotmers on Monday morning due to a technical problem, rival telecom Du confirmed late in the day.
People trying to call Etisalat mobile numbers with the prefix 050 reported continually getting a busy signal.
Du said the service disruption was "due to technical issues on [the] Etisalat network".
"Du mobile and fixed customers faced some difficulties in making calls to Etisalat mobile numbers this morning," the telecom operator said in a statement.
"The issue has been resolved and the service is back to normal."
Etisalat was not available for comment when contacted by Arabian Business.
