Some M1 Customers still ranting over service disruption today

A major mobile service outage affected some M1 users here yesterday, May 18, but full restoration was already made overnight, according to M1. Complaints from some user however still flood Twitter trends.

“There should have been no problem already, mobile services were fully restored last night at 10+pm,” Petrina Teoh Senior Manager of the Corporate Communications told Singapore Business Review.

Some users early this morning however tweet of finding themselves still unable to make and receive calls and text messages.

Some of the them are as follows:

“Shouldn't have felt that smug yesterday. I woke up to a silent phoneflashing the SOS message, with no reception. M1, don't do this tome!” by dnilasor, 17 minutes ago

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
