Users of Vodafone’s third-generation cell phones were unable to connect to the Internet or send or receive e-mail for over seven hours due to a network fault, company officials said Thursday, just days after a similar glitch caused problems for users. 

The fault, which lasted from 8:07 p.m. on Wednesday to 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, was reportedly caused by a problem in part of a Vodafone network facility in Tokyo’s Toshima-ku. Full story Here.
