Users are struggling to make and receive calls, while WhatsApp operates at half speed. Major telecom companies like Telefonica, Masorange, and Vodafone are assessing the outage's impact, with Vodafone operating at 70% capacity due to backup power. As communications remain unstable, authorities urge users to limit phone use to prevent overload, particularly concerning emergency services like Madrid's 112, which is managing resources carefully to maintain operations during the blackout.
Numerous users have reported problems making calls, with many unable even to receive dialed carrier calls as the blackout disrupts telecommunications across Spain.
Vodafone Spain has reported that due to circumstances beyond the company's control, there has been a massive power outage impacting communications and infrastructure.
Madrid's 112 emergency service has requested that people avoid calling unless absolutely necessary, prioritizing the operational capacity of emergency services during the blackout.
Some users are able to send messages via WhatsApp, but many others are unable to even receive them, leaving them cut off from communications.
