Ufone Outage in Karachi?

[Faisal Khan]

Was it me or did Ufone have an outage in Karachi for a couple of hours
starting at about 5ish today? No signals for lots and lots of ufone
users.

Yes, same problem here in Gulshan-e-Iqbal

We had one in Islamabad for a few hours last night (around 9ish). Had
sort of hoped it was a precursor to another coup or the start of a
revolution, but was probably Ufone performing maintenance.

Ufone outage was observed in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and
Faisalabad. It was stated at approx. 2pm and was ended at 10pm approx.
I was able to call ufone call center around 5:00 pm and they told me
that this is happening due to server up-gradation and they don't know
how long it would take to resolve.

Interesting thing after calling to customer support I was able to call
any where except Ufone numbers :)

MSC ( Mobile Switching Center) was down due to some upgradation activity . That was the reason for the network not working for 2 to 3 hours.

[Muhammad Waqar]

I think this is an HLR related problem. Dnt know may be they are upgrading the database.

I spoke to my corporate rep in Ufone, he said he was having 'trouble with his phone and signals yesterday' LOL!!!! Poor fella didn't know what was happening around him.

[Muhammad Waqar]

I believe Operator can not afford to down its services for the up gradation in "Day time". There must some issues related to MSC causing the service outage. 

[Sarfraz Nawaz]

If Ufone was performing "server upgrade" then why were the customers not informed before hand about this upgrade and expected outage? And if it was just customer support not coming clean about the failure then I don't understand what is wrong with actually accepting that there is a technical problem and our staff are working hard to resolve it as soon as possible. I guess not telling the truth is a norm in our society be it at personal level or at professional one.

[H.M]

Any idea which particular MSC was down ??
