So my phone has been out ever since I woke up at 6 this morning. No calls or text . I'm with at&t. I thought it was just me but I guess there's a huge nation wide outage. I'm in the southeast. How are you guys fairing?

AT&T customers hit by widespread cellular outages in U.S.

Over 50,000 AT&T outages were reported at about 7 a.m. ET Thursday, with most issues reported in Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and Atlanta, according to the tracking site Downdetector.

So far so so good. T-Mobile and in Cleveland.

I got Verizon, no outage for me, but a friend of mine's on AT&T, no service.

 

[German Hops]

My friend just texted me that his service went out.

 

[dorkimoe]

I just realized i cant log into my bank account because i need text 2fa and it doesnt come thru iMessage so ...

I'm betting it was Putin. I'm mostly being sarcastic but I also wouldn't be surprised if some asshole like him wanted to take out our satellites.

 

[Husky]

I haven't had any service all day, but I'm not surprised, since I haven't paid for cell service in about eight years.

 

[BossLackey]

Weird thing is I DID have service, and only now do I not.

AT&T

 

[ebevan91]

I have AT&T and no service on my iPhone but when I put my SIM card in my shitty Samsung phone I use for work I do have service.

 

[jason10mm]

Nope, no cell service for me. Fortunately I uploaded a bot of myself to continue to make social media posts like this one in my absence.

I love Taylor Swift!!

Drink your Ovaltine!!

 

[Rayderism]

Mine is still working. Using it right now. I have Spectrum, so....

 

[Rival]

Mine just came back up about a half hour ago after being down all morning.

I'm more concerned about things happening from within. Especially how blatant it's been.

This is one reason why I only do 2fa through email. I can almost always access whatever I connect it to, and avoid phishing links through text which are getting harder to identify

 

[Trunx81]

How does an AT&T user even notice an outage?

 

[Meicyn]

On Spectrum, no outage. Pretty sure they ride Verizon’s lines as a MVNO. Midwest region.

 

[Days like these...]

I have mint no issues

[The Stig]

AT&T , california. Fine.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Mine finally came back about two hours ago. Fucking at&t

 

[KrakenIPA]

AT&T is back up for me, but it was down earlier, my theory is two-fold. 1) a careless Engineer spilt coffee on the server controls, and 2) polar flip is imminent.

So many of the gadgets I own are pretty much worthless without Internet. If that day comes when a solar storm incapacitates the worldweb for a longer time I'll be mostly rocking my ereader.

The images show a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in teal. Credit: NASA/SDO

 

[j0hnnix]

tmobile no issues all day but I ignored people so they thought I didn't have signal.

 

[ReBurn]

I was without AT&T service until about 1 pm EST today. It was kind of nice not having a working phone for a few hours.

 

[AJUMP23]

Att and yes

 

[cash_longfellow]

Cricket. Good all day. But I did see a lot of my people on social media with no service. Must have posted their status updates on their desktop computers lol

 

[OmegaSupreme]

So now the place where I work has had severe internet issues for the past 48 hours. Guess who the provider is? You guessed it! AT and fucking T! What's going on over there? We just had a tech come in and its not a local issue. A lot of businesses in the area are reporting mass slowdowns.

 

[The Stig]

this is annoying. I WFH and get my cell and internet from AT&T and its been completely flawless the entire time.

I want an excuse to not work lol

 

[ThatStupidLion]

5$ credit XD

they blamed last outage on a software update.... i'm having a hard time believing that.

I had to go home to work today because of issues with AT&T fiber at the office.

That seems to be a go to response for cell provider outages.
