If you’re having an issue making a phone call in the United States today, you’re not alone. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all suffering nationwide outages this morning without any indication as to why and when they will be resolved.
The popular website Downdetector, which tracks when services are down by getting input from the public, has seen a surge in reports starting around 4:00 AM EST. As of 10:11 AM EST, over 65,000 people reported an issue with AT&T service alone.
For Verizon, reports started around 4:00 AM EST as well, and as of 10:00 AM EST, those reports only number around 3,200 people. T-Mobile users have been reporting even fewer issues as Downdetector only shows around 1,500 reports as of 10:00 this morning.
The outage is also impacting a ton of other carriers who operate on the three major networks. Cricket Wireless, Consumer Cellular, Boost Mobile, Straight Talk, Mint Mobile, and US Cellular customers have all been reporting issues. However, the bulk of the reporting is coming from AT&T customers.
