T-Mobile Confirms Nationwide Service Outage
As Twitter and forums are filled with annoyance over the issue, T-Mobile is assuring us that they are aware of the problem and working on it:
T-Mobile customers may be experiencing service disruptions impacting voice and data. Our rapid response teams have been mobilized to restore service as quickly as possible. We will provide updates as more information is available.
We're waiting on further information from T-Mobile and will update as we learn more.
Update 1: Several commenters are reporting that both incoming and outgoing calls are working if routed through Google Voice.
Update 2: Many reports that T-Mobile @Home is out as well.
Update 3: We got a note from a T-Mobile spokesperson:
We're making good progress restoring voice and messaging service to affected customers. At this time, approximately 5 percent of T-Mobile customers are experiencing service disruptions. Issues began at approximately 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. Our rapid response team is working continuously to fully resolve this disruption. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused our customers
Update 4: The latest word from T-Mobile:
We continue to work on restoring full services for the small percentage of affected Customers. Please stay tuned for the latest updates. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused our customers.
Update 5: T-Mobile says the fix is in, but the cause is still a mystery:
T-Mobile confirms it has fully restored voice and text/picture messaging services for customers affected by intermittent service disruptions on Tuesday. About five percent of our customers across various geographies were affected for much of Tuesday evening, and by late Tuesday PST their service was restored. Our sole focus has been restoring full services for all customers; we are now investigating the root cause of the incident. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused our customers.

my Blackberry was constantly doing some sort of refresh in which the battery that usually lasts 3 days went away in 6 hours.... #nationwidetmobileoutage
Jesus, that picture is so full of win that I have no words. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Ah. Thanks for this, was on the fone last night, after work, with a friend on Tmo and the call dropped. Tried to call back and was met with fast busy tone. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Here in LA I lost all service from 3:30-9:30 or so on a myTouch. My buddy was over at the time, who also has a myTouch, and he lost service from 3:30-4:30 only. It also didn't affect a Motoblur owner I know, until he got home at about 6:30.
Very weird service failure.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
5% my ass #nationwidetmobileoutage
Funny I didn't notice here in Minnesota. Damn you Halo3:ODST!!!! heheeheh #nationwidetmobileoutage
So yea Thanks a lot T-Mobile, being that my date with my baby mama couldn't happen, she thinks I was banging some other chick. She didn't believe me about the whole outage, being that she has Verizon so now I have to go and kiss her butt tonight, and try to make it up to her... THANK YOU T-MOBILE... For letting me hear all 12 voicemails that she left me with rage... #nationwidetmobileoutage
It was weird last night. I couldn't call my one friend with my T-Mobile Phone to his T-Mobile phone. However I was able to receive a call from him when he called using Google Voice. Also I was not able to receive a call from land line either. But it all came back about 6:00 PM CST. #nationwidetmobileoutage
it was probably everyone swapping their cards into iphones since the unlock came out earlier today #nationwidetmobileoutage
Over here in the St Paul area (Wisconsin #) I lost service from about 4:30(central) til 5:30. At that point I got service back but still couldn't make calls or receive texts. Things seemed to get back to somewhat normal by about 6, though. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Been having problems with my service all afternoon, even thru Google Voice. In the Miami area. #nationwidetmobileoutage
So, is this a project Black? Nice, keep it up T-mobile. I am ready to switch. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I think I have everything back? #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm in Seattle WA and I have not had service since about 5pm. I dont have text, calling, data, or anything. I am more than upset with Tmobile. Just the fact that they are the last to get any kind of decent phone should have been enough to make me leave them. But this? This is just stupid. I know the number is WAY MORE than 5% outage. #nationwidetmobileoutage
4 Phones on the T-Mobile network setup in family plan, only one went out with no data no text no voice, it won't even connect to the towers. We switched the SIM cards and it has signal with another phone number. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Data was down for me in LA on my Moto Cliq all afternoon until just recently, this would explain it... What's wrong Tmo, first the Sidekick outage, and now a NATIONWIDE SERVICE OUTAGE less than a month later? Get your shit together! #nationwidetmobileoutage
@kooblikon: Ah, okay, I've been through Federal Way, Sea-Tac, downtown Seattle, Bellevue, Edmonds, and Lynnwood today. All clear, haha #nationwidetmobileoutage
My family are T-mobile customers in Phoenix. Our service has been weird all afternoon and continues to have issues. I can call some landlines sometimes but not other T-mobile phones. None of us can receive calls, but only some of us have voicemail picking up, while others get a weird busy signal or a hang-up. And the ability to check voicemail is intermittent. Text is out. Data is out, unless on wi-fi (two of us have G1 phones). It took almost six hours of regular attempts to even call 611 to ask T-mobile, "what the dilly-o?" They told me it is a nationwide problem with the network affecting dialing, text and data for everyone and they are working hard to try to resolve it with no estimated time for resolution. Also, don't turn off your T-mobile phone otherwise it may not be able to reconnect to the network when they fix it, according to the operator I spoke to. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Cant send or receive texts,and cannot dial out to 611 or t-mobile customer service. MA #nationwidetmobileoutage

Is this T-mobiles Project Dark??? #nationwidetmobileoutage
ever since 3:00pm pct. Texts were sent and never received and called would not go through. #nationwidetmobileoutage
text messages take over 1 hour to be delivered #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo: Damn you. Beat me to it. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm seeing on my friends' facebooks that some people are getting phone service back now. If anyone was caring, still #nationwidetmobileoutage
can send text but not receive them, and can make phone calls. oops now it all works. it only took 3 or 4 hours for them to fix it. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@CompyPaq: That makes sense, one of the errors I got on my G1 while trying to connect to a tower said that my SIM was not valid for the network. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Rosa Golijan:
No. I'm getting all calls regularly through T-Mobile.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
No service at all in Albuquerque for a while, it just came back for me, and apparently earlier for some friends in the area. I received texts from at least two hours ago several times throughout the outage.
Think it's got anything to do with Project Dark?
(On a side note, T-Mo said I was in the U.S Minor Outlying Islands while traveling around last week. Very odd.)
#nationwidetmobileoutage
at about 9pm my phone now says (No Service) in Houston TX before i could only call out since about 4pm central #nationwidetmobileoutage
Weird. I haven't been experiencing this. Oh wait, that's probably because my house practically doesn't get service anyways XD #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Neimo: Somebody star me so I can promote this man's comment. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Chandler, AZ
My G1 works fine...T-Mobile @Home is down, sister's texting phone is off and on, mom's texting phone (same model) is completely dead. Little bro is fine too.
@dsi1: I would've done that before, but they want a $750 deposit for that! Apparently my credit sucks, but T-Mobile didn't have any problem with it. #nationwidetmobileoutage
My friend just bought a new t mobile phone... she wasn't very pleased. (Minneapolis, MN) Seems to be working now. If anyone has anything, I'm interested if theres any data on how much it takes for a consumer to get fed up and leave. #nationwidetmobileoutage
My poor iPhone needs service. #nationwidetmobileoutage
still nothing on my line, everyone else on my family plan working perfectly
-______-
#nationwidetmobileoutage
@LionelGnaeus: Same with me. #nationwidetmobileoutage
No BlackBerry data since 6:00pm or so in NYC... #nationwidetmobileoutage
roaming with my tmo bb phone, it showed sos for 1+ hours. came back a while ago. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I don't think this is location based. My guess is that this has something to do with authenticating SIM cards on the network. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@traviscarden1: I'd bet none. Why would anyone pay an ETF or go to the hassle to switch carriers after their service goes funky for part of one night, in a situation that is a one-off occurrence?
I'm on T-mobile and I've been frustrated all of the evening/night with this, but I not naive enough to believe that there is another carrier out there who never has outages.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
Damn my facebook is blowing up with people experiencing this problem. Between this and the Sidekick Snafu of 2009, I would hate to be T-Mo right now... #nationwidetmobileoutage
It's officially 6+ hours since I've last had service. I'm getting old text messages in triplicate. Still can't make outgoing calls.
T-Mobile this is not cool.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
I can't even sign into service AT ALL... I just hard reset my phone for nothing. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Bob in AL: So $3000 is worth having one night more of service? I'm assuming it's fixed by morning. Oh and if true only 5% of T-Mobile customers are affected. How nice to have $3000 to spend on a night of service. For that much money you could have two gorgeous hookers service you all night long. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I was out of service from about 6:20-8. I have everything back now, so it seems. Located in central Illinois. #nationwidetmobileoutage
here's hoping it's a glitch related to some massive roll-out of enhanced data service. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I would love to know how many customers they lost over this. I hope there is a survey done. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Coincidence? I think not.:
[consumerist.com]
#nationwidetmobileoutage
I didn't have texting in the Saint Louis area for the past few hours but it appears fixed now. #nationwidetmobileoutage
9:40 Central time.... I have no service whatsoever. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@warezIbanez: Down in puyallup we've been hit with the outages. :(
I havent heard anything back from a friend up on Shoreline, though that may because of outages down here.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
At the same location in SoCal, both the same phone: one has service, the other does not. What. The. Hell. #nationwidetmobileoutage
still down in NYC #nationwidetmobileoutage
Texting was out earlier, everything is back to normal now here. (Tuscaloosa, AL) #nationwidetmobileoutage
Orange County, CA: had an undeliverable SMS at about 6:30 PM PST. #nationwidetmobileoutage
My G1 is fine, both voice and 3G, sending and receiving.
Although I did have a brief period (15 minutes or so) about 2 hours ago when data went out and voice refused to connect...
Austin, TX
No problems in downtown or greater Seattle areas so far... #nationwidetmobileoutage
El Paso, TX
Just got my texts back. Voice and data working too but were down earlier.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
In Minneapolis. My phone works fine, but my Girlfriend's is messed up. She can't receive calls or texts, but she can send calls and texts. #nationwidetmobileoutage
To add insult to injury during this outage, incoming calls to T-Mobile phones are often given a "the number you are calling is not in service" message. To many of our business associates today, it looked like our service had been shut off!
We're in So Cal and all users are on Blackberries. Email is coming through, voice is sporadic (incoming and outgoing), and no text messages at all.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
"searching" for service in northwest dc for about three hours now #nationwidetmobileoutage
I haven't received a text in hours, and only some of my calls are getting through. Data is perfect so far though. #nationwidetmobileoutage
No problems at all in So Cal... #nationwidetmobileoutage
calls work but are being dropped pretty often in houston #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm also in northeast Ohio, but I can't get any service at all. No voice, no text, nothing. This is not the first time I've had problems with the Tmobile network. I've been thinking of switching to Verizon for a while, and now this is the last straw. They're losing me as a customer, and I hope they lose many others as well. #nationwidetmobileoutage
i've been experiencing this problem since halloween night. i kept getting texts saying "your phone says it's not in service." it's also happening this moment.
i'm glad gizmodo informed me before they gave me the run around.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
However, my GF can make/receive calls. WTH #nationwidetmobileoutage
my calls are working here in houston just not my texts #nationwidetmobileoutage
Still no signal here, in Ft. Worth, TX #nationwidetmobileoutage

This is outage has taking a small dent out of my business in Connecticut.
My T-mobile@home is also out, compounding the problem.
Luckily I kept my land line and have a Magic jack I can take to work tomorrow.
Verizon.. and everything is working fine. I feel I had to make that statement haha #nationwidetmobileoutage

I wonder what could cause such a widespread outage, satellite issues maybe? #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm Houston Texas, and looks like mostly everyone is pissed about this here, I have full signal bars on a 2G IPhone, no data or voice #nationwidetmobileoutage
@johnsonbrentp001: Can Confirm that. International calls are working [its only been a few mins. though]. #nationwidetmobileoutage
My parents and I are all able to make calls. Don't have txting or data to check, but I'm assuming those should work, too. Never noticed an outage. #nationwidetmobileoutage
fwiw, i can't even connect to the tmobile network...data or voice. i

no problems here in San Diego #nationwidetmobileoutage
I thought that it'd be okay to stick w/ T-Mobile after that Sidekick fuck-up, albeit with a different phone. Now, this. (LESS THAN ONE MONTH INTO THE CONTRACT.) #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Giorgio Albergo: o i just tried and I guess they're working now. 8:o0pm CST. ... 8:01pm cst my brother is calling back to see wtf i was calling for. #nationwidetmobileoutage

Shouldn't the picture say "We're aware of the service disruption, fool"? #nationwidetmobileoutage
@BurgosLeo: Use a land-line phone or a payphone to call her if she's not on T. Or call her land-line number if she has any. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Los Angeles, CA - two days ago, interrupted data in the morning. Today between 3 & 4pm, voice and data was out, would show network busy, but voicemail would work. After that, things seemed fine. Maybe they're working on something. #nationwidetmobileoutage
It's out in Spokane, WA... #nationwidetmobileoutage
Text is working again down in denver #nationwidetmobileoutage
looks like its back up and running , pretty bad an hour ago though, i was getting red X on text messages and busy signals. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@senatormayer: I don't know... I'm in the midwest, Chicagoland area, first time iphone user with the 3gs, and I've yet to have an issue with dropped calls. Either way, AT&T may have had an issue in the east, but that's still far from a NATIONWIDE outage. Also, a shout out to Rosa Golijan for approving me to comment on Gizmodo! Been reading the site for a while, first time commenter! #nationwidetmobileoutage

South Texas - Texts and calls are not working. Relatives in El Paso, Texas are experiencing the same problems. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Text and email messaging are working fine on my G1, but I noticed that the clock switched back to DST this morning...
I found that out when I woke up an hour earlier than normal.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
In KC I can make calls and get data, but no text messages. Strange. #nationwidetmobileoutage
no texting in cincinnati #nationwidetmobileoutage
Santa Cruz, CA...T-Mobile is fine. #nationwidetmobileoutage

@biggerx: And yet, my AT&T iPhone still works...in 3G.I'll pay the extra $100 for the better service. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@MarcusMaximus: Oh it's not the controlling thing, its simply that her phone isn't working and it's my fault. You know how life is right? #nationwidetmobileoutage
Been fine here in atlanta all day. Posting from my G1 right now, in fact. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@xcodyyyx: damn that hella sicks!!! hope for the best #nationwidetmobileoutage
Denver is down as well #nationwidetmobileoutage
My service is back. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@xcodyyyx: Dude, your girlfriend nearly dumps you because you don't answer your phone for one day? Fair enough if its your wedding day and you've gone AWOL, but damn, don't be blaming T-Mobile. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Ya know, when you guys said "Project Dark", I didn't really think you meant "lights out, bitches"...
This round goes to you, clever T-Mobile execs.
I noticed I had no service and I couldnt re connect to the network right away. But a few tries later and all is well, calls, SMS, data. (I'm outside Philly btw) #nationwidetmobileoutage
Can make and receive calls and emails but no texty texty in the Chicagoland area. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Dead here in Boston - voice, no data #nationwidetmobileoutage
@xcodyyyx: Wow... well at least your girlfriend isn't controlling or anything, eh? #nationwidetmobileoutage
My phone JUST began to do this. I can make calls but my texts fail to send. Earlier my phone would think they sent, but the recipient would only get them about an hour later. And now it wont even send texts. Hopefully T-Mobile fixes this soon... Thanks for the update Gizmodo!!! #nationwidetmobileoutage
That graphic is terrifying and wonderful. #nationwidetmobileoutage
that is the latest service upgrade: they want T-Mo US to become as suckadelic as T-Mo Germany #nationwidetmobileoutage
Everything has been working in Houston for about 20 minutes. It was just T-Mobile to T-Mobile voice and SMS calls. You could call out of network and out of network could call you. That's why Google Voice worked. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I can call some numbers, but when I try to call my wife (also on T-Mo) I get the busy tone. She also reported not being able to receive text messages. We're in PHL/Jersey #nationwidetmobileoutage
Chicago: Calling T-Mo from AT&T gives fast busy. Calling anywhere from T-Mo gives "connection error" #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Mat Toussaint: Didn't AT&T have an outage across the eastern United States a couple months ago? maybe last year? I'm not good with that 'time' thing. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Wow, after the fiasco with the Sidekick data losses, this is going to be terrible for T-Mobile's reputation. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Verizon ftw. Always. #nationwidetmobileoutage
No service in Georgia since about 5. The girlfriend almost dumped me because my phone was busy.
Thanx Tmo, you're the best.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm getting SIM card errors when I try to make calls on my G1. #nationwidetmobileoutage
AT&T is still delivering my world #nationwidetmobileoutage
In San Diego, CA here and I get voice/data. Don't feel like checking SMS. 611 doesn't seem to work though. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm having issues with T-Mobile on my MyTouch in the Cleveland area. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@otko: Are you trying to tell me this is the cause of the outage? #nationwidetmobileoutage
Project Dark? More like "Project Dark."
I just thought this place needed more of those.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
I can't make outgoing calls or send text messages, but the internet homepage came up fine. #nationwidetmobileoutage
yuppers and also my tmobile @ home service is down too... #nationwidetmobileoutage
I've got plenty of T-Mo down here in NC, just south of Raleigh #nationwidetmobileoutage
Google Voice to the rescue!!!!!!!!! #nationwidetmobileoutage
@InsanePenguin: Agreed. And the thing is, I know that even if I WAS experiencing a service outage, I could call up customer service tomorrow, and a cheerful, friendly and HELPFUL agent (who speaks fluent English) will happily credit my bill at least $20.
AT&T had awful customer service, which is why I switched, and I haven't once regretted it, even with having an iPhone and no true 3G.
Wow, t-mobile is really going for "nail in the coffin"...after the sidekick ordeal, this is not going to go over well... #nationwidetmobileoutage
I'm in Minneapolis, MN. Just called Google 411, no problem. Zip code: 55407 #nationwidetmobileoutage
I haven't been able to send or receive texts for the last 2 days here in KC. #nationwidetmobileoutage
New moto cliq with no voice or text since 5pm CST. Tower connection & data have been intermittent. #nationwidetmobileoutage
at&t is still delivering my world. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Haven't had any issues here in Orlando, strange. #nationwidetmobileoutage
no service here in Chicago...just busy tone #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Mat Toussaint: AT&T's coverage IS a nationwide outage. Aw yeaaah *zing* #nationwidetmobileoutage
I haven't been able to reach my friend that much today and then I realized that my calls/texts weren't going through either.
-Serviceless in South Florida
#nationwidetmobileoutage
awww man... now my sidekick is going to be even more depressed. le sigh, as the French say. #nationwidetmobileoutage
My entire family and I are having problems here in North Chicago. Thought it was them cutting us (our post office mails everything a week late) but this makes me feel better.
Also, AT&T people, don't bash T-mobile for a one time thing.
#nationwidetmobileoutage
Service is out here in Philly as well. Almost threw my phone out the shuttle bus. SEPTA and T-Mobile out all in one day...thank God for the Phillies #nationwidetmobileoutage
Why does Mister-T look like Questlove? #nationwidetmobileoutage
@TuxBobble: I came in to snark with this. PS: No data in South Florida since like three hours ago. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@T.j. Mueller: Where are you based? #nationwidetmobileoutage
@daPrinz: Are your calls being routed through Google Voice or similar? #nationwidetmobileoutage
California,Anaheim Phone is dead #nationwidetmobileoutage
Lexington, Ky. I can make calls, but have issues receiving them and can't text. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Dammit T-mobile, no 3G in my area and now this? Yall must want me to move to Verizon... #nationwidetmobileoutage
So THAT's why I almost threw my fucking phone out of the 30 story window of my office!
The problem started sometime this afternoon with constant connection drops with "No Access" on my display. It seems to be working now, but I'll give it a while.
Somehow, I'm fine. What's the deal-io? #nationwidetmobileoutage
T-Mobile on Iphone. No problems in Miami #nationwidetmobileoutage
USE GOOGLE VOICE! #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Th12eat: Ive got problems on my G1 up here in Jersey #nationwidetmobileoutage
Nationwide confirmed thanks to [twittermap.us] #nationwidetmobileoutage
@dantheman12: there being tmobile, not md #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Joey D. Smith: where in md? I was thinking about switching there, how is the coverage? #nationwidetmobileoutage
My girl uses T-mobile and has no problem on her G1 here in southern Kansas City, KS #nationwidetmobileoutage
Workingfine here in the San Fernando Valley. Hasn't been any interruption that I've noticed. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Curves: Ha, that's where you're wrong. Us T-Mobile folks like to be in touch with nature, and this just helps us do that. Whose laughing now? I am! Hahahahhahahahhahahahaha! #nationwidetmobileoutage
Didn't wanna be a mean guy, wanted to be a dancer #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Bob in AL: This is the very first time this has ever happened as long as I've been a customer (5 years). I only pay 5o$ a month & that's with texting, 1500 minutes AND data. So suck it. Have fun spending $100 a month on crappy data plans. #nationwidetmobileoutage
my g1 is working fine i only use my google voice number...
sooo if you got one of them use it if you have to i didnt even know there was a problem till my dad called me asking if my phone was working... and i reminded him he called my cellphone haha
w00t called it! #nationwidetmobileoutage
tmobile is working for me. I have had no outages in Maryland. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Project Dark?
More like project "Gone Dark", am I right?
#nationwidetmobileoutage
My t-mobile is working, but their website is not. #nationwidetmobileoutage
thank you giz! this is the first stop i came to when i noticed my t-mo was acting up. and you didn't disappoint. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Even www.t-mobile.com is having issues. Was going to do some phone browsing and it's pretty much unusable. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@fallenturtle: Open you' doo' ! #nationwidetmobileoutage
"The service with AT&T sucks. I'm going to void the warrantee on my iPhone and jailbreak it so I can get the reliable T-Mobile service." #nationwidetmobileoutage
methinks sabotage
what company would want to screw with tmobile, microsoft, and danger? This is getting out of hand
#nationwidetmobileoutage
@Underpants Gnome: Or not. I can dial out but can't receive any calls. #nationwidetmobileoutage
First sidekick, now this?
Can t-mobile get shittier?
#nationwidetmobileoutage
The
real
Project Dark... This is actually pretty awesome, I'm not even mad. I'm in LA, and right now I can only send a txt message as far as I can throw my blackberry.
[edit] As I sent this, it came back to life. Go T-Mo.
You know what? I've had T-Mobile for years with nary a problem. I'm prepared to let them have this. #nationwidetmobileoutage
This sucks. ring BEEP BEEP BEEP... Call Ended! AHHH another Vista victim. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@Shook-Yang: Seems like people all over are having odd combinations. Some with nothing, some with data but no voice or vice versa. #nationwidetmobileoutage
All is well in Minneapolis. Full bars
*edit-spoke too soon. When calling it says circuits busy. I wondered why my phone had been suspiciously quiet for the past few hours.
@fallenturtle: And by apology you mean...? #nationwidetmobileoutage
Someone tripped over the plug again ...
P.S. GreenPeace did it!!
#nationwidetmobileoutage
Seems to be working in Chicago. #nationwidetmobileoutage
@fallenturtle: "likes" #nationwidetmobileoutage
Project Dark? More like Project Black Out. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Say what you will about AT&T and the iPhone... I can't remember the last time there was a nationwide outage on AT&T. Was it t-mobile and microsoft that also had the issue with the sidekick or something a week or so back? (honestly, I don't remember which carrier that was, although I thought I remembered it being t-mobile). #nationwidetmobileoutage
That certainly explains a LOT. #nationwidetmobileoutage
I expect an official apology from Catherine Zeta Jones, in person. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Odd. I can call out with my phone. And, when I called my phone from my work phone, it rang.
Also called my mom and my wife (both on T-mobile), and the phone rang (I had heard people are getting busy signals). I spoke with my mom, so she's able to receive calls as well.
Not for me.
Did I miss something?
#nationwidetmobileoutage
Wait why am i supposed to get mad a T-Mobile? I've been using them for about 2 years now, and i've had no problems. #nationwidetmobileoutage
for how long?? #nationwidetmobileoutage
T-Mobile better have a good explanation for this and also give us all credit for the next month. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Whew, and I thought it was just me. This sucks. I can make calls to non-tmobile ppl but can't call tmobile ppl. #nationwidetmobileoutage
Yeah, SMS/MMS is down for me at the moment but calls are fine. #nationwidetmobileoutage
OH NOES
only for incoming calls apparently, i can dial anyone else not on t-mobile
i keep getting a busy signal.... tmobile u never cease to let me down :( #nationwidetmobileoutage
i thought it was my radio..flashed 2 different roms jus to make sure..=( #nationwidetmobileoutage
I knew I wasn't crazy! Announcements via Twitter, while convenient and fast, is a bit annoying.
No bars, and no 3G for me.
Wow T-Mobile just cant catch a break.. #nationwidetmobileoutage
twitter has a purpose, now, if there were just a device that was dedicated to viewing and posting on twitter and was reasonably priced, say, less than $200 or so... #nationwidetmobileoutage
Good thing I have Verizon. #nationwidetmobileoutage
