Did you suddenly get cut off in the middle of a phone conversation last night?

It’s not your fault.

KDDI Corp. said a network disruption happened on Wednesday night, temporarily making it difficult to make voice calls in part for those in the East Japan service area.

The network disruption was triggered by an equipment glitch at around 9:13 p.m. (12:13 p.m. GMT) and resolved 45 minutes later, explained the major Japanese telecommunications carrier.

Affected services included voice calls under the company’s “au,” “UQ mobile” and “povo” mobile brands.

KDDI is looking into the details of the problem and identify how many users were affected.

In early July, KDDI was hit by a major network disruption, affecting over a total of 30.91 million voice call and data subscribers.
