The company undertook planned work Monday night on its system.
Since then, intermittent cell phone outages have been reported.
"It seems to be affecting some customers, and others not at all,” Emily Younker, a Northwestel Inc. spokeswoman, said this morning.
Northwestel technicians are working with Bell Mobility today to find the source of interference that is causing the problem.
Northwestel had no other information on the disruption before press time early this afternoon.

As much as an inconvenience to Yukoners to experience re-occurring outages, be it power, phone, internet, it is a novelty to all outsiders.
Maybe we should bank on that to attract visitors. The only place in a developed country where visitors can experience first hand the hardship of third world countries.
We can call it "EXTREME YUKON EXPERIENCE"
and offer a guarantee that they won't be disappointed.
