ONE of the biggest mobile phone providers in the UK has said that signal problems throughout the Ayrshire area have been fixed after causing issues this afternoon.

EE said that they were working to sort issues but calls and text messages were not affected.

A spokesperson had said at the time: "We’re aware of a data issue affecting some internet services for some of our customers on 4G.

"Phone calls and text messages are unaffected, and some internet services are working as usual. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we’re working to fix ASAP."
