Phones working again

Police and 999 calls back to normal

Manx Telecom says nearly all phone lines are now working again.

A major fault earlier today meant many fixed lines were down for a period, including the hospital, GP surgeries and government departments.

The problem was reported to be with failed ISDN circuits and a 999 divert plan was put into place.

MT say engineers are still working to resolve one remaining case with a local business, otherwise all other issues have been rectified.

Police say all their lines and the 999 service are now back to normal.
