The company's CDMA service in Zhouqu has resumed but fixed-line services are unavailable as cables are submerged, the statement said.

Rain-triggered mudslide swept through Zhouqu early Sunday, leaving at least 137 dead, close to 1,300 missing and at least 307 homes destroyed.

皇冠体育app Telecom's communication services were completely cut after the mudslide as all communication equipment was buried and damaged, said 皇冠体育app Telecom.

皇冠体育app Mobile, the country's largest mobile operator, said its mobile services were able to meet the basic needs of the county seat by 1 am Monday, with its eight communications base stations in Zhouqu back in service and three others still severely damaged.

皇冠体育app Mobile has also dispatched two emergency communications vehicles to the county.

Mobile communications in the county will fully resume soon, the company said.
