Major Cell Service Outage

[Tripp11]

It is the 5g network. Apparently if you have a 4G phone with AT&T you still have service.

I tried my daughter's phone which is 4G over the AT&T network and it is not working just FYI for anyone reading.

Man I need to get a Ham.

Now is the time to get one. If/when things go bad they will be snapped up and expensive.

Example, try to find a generator at Lowes during a power outage.

I could probably go days without noticing. I average about 4 or 5 calls a week on my cell and about the same number of texts.

But how are the people that want to buy my house going to reach me now??

Man, that would be the life! LOL I typically turn mine on Airplane Mode after 8:00 pm and go back to normal at 8:00 am - the only people I really need to hear from are always with me anyways during those times.

I was going to say something snarky about that's because nobody likes you. But then it dawned on me I get a fair number of calls and texts from people that don't particularly like me.

So....for the ATT users how can you tell a difference? Right before we switched we had more down time than service.

Syracuse area still down.

Ha!

I keep up my relationship with my kids by exchanging Instagram memes. One call a week is my Mom and my wife has enough of me in person morning and evening. Only a very few clients have my cell and they have it because they can be trusted not to use it.

I have had ATT for nearly 3 years now. This is my first issue.

Many 911 centers in the state are getting flooded w/ calls from people trying to see if 911 works from their cell phone. Please do not do this. If you can successfully place a non-emergency call to another number via your cell service then your 911 service will also work. #outage

Our Consumer Cellular 4G service is down…Milford - Warsaw, Syracuse area. We had service u til about 8AM. CC uses AT&T towers I believe

The curve seems to be on a good trajectory now.

I had them from 1998 until we switched in 2019. It was great until about 2015. From that point on service started getting worse and worse and their CS gave zero ***** about how long of a customer you were.

That’s because nobody likes you!

If that's the price I pay to not constantly be on my phone, I'm am good with it.

We switched to ATT because they had a huge special for teachers. It was the cheapest we found. They also threw in 3- $500.00 visa gift cards.

My contract is up in a couple months and we will be shopping.

"By late morning, AT&T said most of its network was back online.

“Our network teams took immediate action and so far three-quarters of our network has been restored,” the company said. “We are working as quickly as possible to restore service to remaining customers.”"

Not in Bedford yet.

From around 9am. ATT web site is screwed up too. Doesn’t recognize legit Zip codes and map shows no outages. My my is on a hack & virus. The search didnt show at&t’s website until the 3rd search page this morning. At that time they had not made any kind of statement. Phone, internet and text work here.

My wife’s phone rang 10 minutes ago. Mine still showed no service. She answered and completed conversation. I looked at her phone and service shows 3 bars. I tried a phone call on mine nd nothing. I have turned off nd restarted twice with zero change. Phones are 3.5 years old & that is when we changed to CC as a carrier. We had
issues with no service at my sons house while other people with other carriers had service while there. Thinking might be time to update phones and go back to Verizon. Don’t really want to double our monthly bill but…
