Cellphones silent as Mexico's biggest network fails

Following NTT DoCoMo 3G network trouble last on Saturday - resulting in problems for tens of thousands of users -, yesterday millions of Mexicans had their cellphone conversations put on hold after wireless network Telcel, temporarily crashed. Reuters reports.

"A technical fault in western Mexico City saturated the Telcel cellphone network. Worst affected were those in the vast capital and its surroundings, where most of the company's customers are located. Service began returning hours later and was 90 percent functional by late afternoon."
