Millions of Aussies have been left fuming after Vodafone's mobile network crashed, sending calls and data services into chaos across the country.

The telco confirmed the disruption on Thursday, saying some users were facing intermittent problems with mobile services.

"We are aware that some customers are experiencing intermittent issues with Vodafone mobile services and we are urgently investigating," Vodafone said in a statement to AAP.

"We apologise for the inconvenience and are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

"We will provide an update as soon as possible. We recommend customers to power cycle their device to restore services."

Earlier, Vodafone's online network status checker was also failing, displaying a generic error message warning customers they might experience connection issues while the network was being improved.

Outage-tracking website Downdetector had received tens of thousands of reports of problems with Vodafone services before 10am.
