“A number of Americans are dealing with cellular outages on AT&T, Cricket Wireless, Verizon, T-Mobile and other service providers, according to data from Downdetector.

So far no reason given for the outages”

If it really is AT&T at the core of the problem. I'd guess either a hack or a deployment of some new software/patch.

Maybe code to handle the upcoming leap day. 😆

Whatever it is I'm wifi only at the moment and the 2FA codes over text are a pain-in-my-ass.

my phone is working, but instead of usual 5g network I seem to be on Consumer Cellular “house” network. I think they use AT&T towers

I figure the private equity folks followed Elon’s advise and have been ripping out equipment racks as useless junk and selling it off.

@GottaLaff I’ve got T-mobile and it’s working

I am seeing the ATT Network again. Looks like the outage is over at least on the east coast

@GottaLaff If history is a guide, it's either a BGP or DNS misconfiguration (or both)

@GottaLaff A few days ago they talked about a solar storm that might reach earth and interfere with communication systems….

oh i had a huge power surge to my house at the time Cricket reported being down but my Cricket (& my electricity, which would seem to be unrelated?) are both back up for the moment

Cricket uses AT&T anyway so hmm

@GottaLaff ABC News: Lotsa outages including T-mobile.

T-mobile: Nuh Uhhhh....

🤣

@glitch25 @GottaLaff

yeah, I've starting to see people suggesting all the outage reports for Verizon or TMobile are people trying to call ATT customers.....

@kbsez @glitch25 @GottaLaff Using TMobile to make this post. It's working fine for me.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@hosford42 it's been restored everywhere. @kbsez @glitch25

hosford42 ,
@hosford42@techhub.social avatar

@GottaLaff @kbsez @glitch25 Oh, cool. Well, I still never saw the issue, but it's moot now unless someone's reading this to decide whether to switch services.

@GottaLaff who wants to start betting on BGP now

kbsez ,

@GottaLaff

Yeah, I"m totally out except on wifi.

I'm reaching out to a lot of people around the country and hearing they're out too.

There's confusion about if this is effecting other carriers - some people think the reports of issues on other carriers are people trying to call ATT customers but nothing solid yet.
