[menog] Fwd: Connectivity status for Egypt

[Kais Al-Essa]

Dears,


As per what I know from friends:


1. All Internet is down. Apparently one network is still working but 
seems to be serving the stock exchange only and few others.

2. SMS is down.

3. Landlines are down (at least internationally).

4. Mobile networks seem to be on and off depending on location. For 
example, Vodafone is apparently working in Cairo while other networks 
are not !!


God help them and bring Egypt and Egyptians out of this harmless inshallah.

Regards..
