Bell, Rogers, Telus customers experiencing service outages in B.C.

Customers in British Columbia and other parts of Western Canada have reported problems with their wireless services over the weekend.

Cellphone services including LTE connection and calls were interrupted across the province starting on Saturday.

Reports coming in on Downdetector suggest that customers with services from Bell, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile, and Fido are still experiencing problems into Sunday.

The main problem seems to be that customers are unable to receive calls from landlines or customers of other wireless providers. The carriers are notifying customers on Twitter that they are working to resolve the problem.

Bell says that it’s working with other carriers to restore full services as soon as possible.

1/2 Damage to a third-party’s fibre line near North Bend yesterday afternoon has impacted calling for some Bell Mobility and Virgin Mobile customers in BC. Mobile data, text messaging and calls to 911 are not affected. However, some customers may be experiencing disruptions…
