Singtel customers voice frustration over mobile data services disruption

SINGAPORE - Singtel customers are having difficulty accessing 3G and 4G mobile data services.

A spokesman for the telecommunications company said: "Customers may be experiencing intermittent difficulties accessing 3G and 4G mobile data services.

Many subscribers left comments on Singtel's Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon, voicing their frustration.

Readers of The Straits Times reported that there was no mobile data in many areas like Bukit Panjang, Tampines, Orchard, Woodlands and HarbourFront.

Others said they could not call through to Singtel's customer service hotline.

Evelyn Wee, 37, who runs an online clothing business: "It really is quite annoying, as I run an online business so I need to always be able to liaise with customers on the go."

Ms Wee noticed the network was down at 2pm after she left her house, where she uses WiFi. Other users say the problem began around noon.

Media entrepreneur and former Nominated Member of Parliament Calvin Cheng, 39, called the outage a "tragic embarrassment" in a post on his Facebook page.
