Son called at 6 AM today from work his ATT I phone won't work.  Asked me if I knew of any issues.  All looked good, then saw on the news that a cell network outage happened at 5AM today.  Anyone else out there having issues?  Hopefully you didn't get a call at 6AM waking you up!

I did, a coworker in Knoxville did, Tim's in Alabama and he did, too. I posted this news item earlier: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/numerous-us-cellphone-providers-experiencing-outages-downdector/

ATT seems most affected. Outages are nationwide.

I'm in the Tesla this morning, and was all pissed off because it had no connection (it uses AT&T).  I was thinking I was due for another Tesla service visit; I just had the MCU replaced a few months ago. 

 

I'm relieved to know the car's probably ok.  😀

Maybe?

My phone won't connect to the network. Tunawife and I are both on Consumer Cellular. She can connect fine. I can't tell if it's me or them because their call center is unresponsive.

I wouldn't normally notice.  I know I've gotten a few texts today.  Haven't sent any yet.  Email is working.

AT&T here on the MS Gulf Coast seemed unaffected, but a co-worker in Batton Rogue was still without service as of an hour or so ago.

I guess we got five bucks back for being out all morning. Can't wait to buy 3/4 of a nice coffee with my refund.

A bunch of my friends said the same thing.  The 1st one was Friday at 8:52pm and the 2nd one was Saturday at 8:52pm, thought it was funny they were exactly 24hrs apart.
