BT says back-up platform now working so people should make emergency calls to police, ambulance and fire services as usual
Police forces, ambulance services, and fire and rescue teams across the UK urged people not to phone 999 for more than an hour on Sunday morning because of a “technical fault”.
The issue was confirmed shortly after 8.30am, but at 9.52am, BT announced that its back-up platform was “now working” and confirmed people should call 999 “as usual”.
