CONCORD, N.H.—Service has been restored to about 250,000 Unicel cell phone customers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and parts of Massachusetts and New York.

Company spokeswoman Miriam Svobodny says technicians worked to fix the outage, which was the result of a software issue.

Service went out early Tuesday; Svobodny said service was restored Tuesday afternoon.

Rural Cellular Corporation, which owns Unicel, is based in Minnesota.

The company has more than 700,000 customers nationwide.
