Econet Wireless has started restoring service to most of its customers, as at 10pm on Friday, after the network broke down at around midnight on Thursday.

The giant mobile phone service provider on Friday afternoon acknowledged that it had been experiencing issues which are affecting voice calls on its network.

Contrary to the statement by the company, much of the Southern region of the country had a complete blackout on the network as all services including internet access were down.
