The UK's mobile networks are experiencing problems with their services.

EE told the BBC it is something "that is affecting all operators and we are working closely to fix it".

The problem is being blamed on "interconnect issues" between the operators.

"We don't believe it is connected to the rise in home working [due to the coronavirus]," added EE.

O2 has posted on its website that some customers are experiencing issues with its voice service but added that a full service is being restored.
