AT&T 911 Outage

[willmtaylor]

AT&T is currently experiencing some sort of 911 system outage in at least 4 states. iPhone users be advised and perhaps have emergency services' local non-emergency numbers saved in your phones.

Apparently, service has now been restored.

Still disconcerting though.

It can dial 911 even if you don't pay to activate it. I keep it in my car in case I were to get in a wreck and my smartphone gets smashed.
