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.

My brother just called from Houston, clear as a bell
i texted a coworker at 8AM, it didn't go through. I got to work at 8:30 and said "you can disregard my text" and he's like "what text". it shows sent on my phone, never received on his.
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.

Yes, it was the outage. My phone works normally-ish now
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.
Wait, I only got the first part of that message!

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.
