Orange's mobile network was hit Tuesday afternoon by a large outage, which ended in the evening. "Back to normal: since 20:30, all Orange services are functional again," said the operator at 21:30 on the social network Twitter and then in a press release.
Orange had recommended to reach in case of need the emergency services via the number 112. In June 2021, Orange had experienced significant unprecedented malfunctions of emergency numbers -- numbers 15, 17, 18 and 112 were for many French people inaccessible or reachable only after multiple attempts.
