iMessage and FaceTime Down for Some, No Estimate on Service Restoration Yet

[MacRumors]

iMessage and FaceTime are both offline for "some users", according to Apple's iCloud System Status page.

The outage began just after noon Pacific time today, and the company has not given any indication of when service will be restored. Affected users will see iMessages fail to send and FaceTime calls fail to connect.

No iMessage with sprint on the east coast in pa.
Tried rebooting but no go. :\

I wonder if this has anything to do with my new iPhone 4S rebooting all by itself yesterday. It was like a quick boot then apple then ready in 20 seconds. Never seen that before.
Maybe the gov made apple put sw on our phones so to snoop. ? That required a reboot to install.

Too bad that's only true in theory.

Switched off iMessages awhile ago today. I'm in Phoenix AZ. The Internet is definitely having issues everywhere around here as well.

 

[pnoyblazed]

NYC here and it is down as well.. i think at around 4pm ish

 

[notjustjay]

Ah, that explains it. I was just trying to figure out why my iPhone was stuck in "waiting for activation" when I tried to turn iMessage off and on again.

 

[joenruschia]

yup

down for me too

 

[Davmeister]

Not working either in London or Oxford.

Yep, almost an hour and a half now...come on Apple! or AT&T! or anybody I can blame...

I'm on AT&T and have no issue, although a friend on Verizon does. So, for once, it seems like AT&T is not to blame.

People still use FaceTime ?

 

[bushido]

yep its also down for me on the mac, iphone and ipad

 

[migdaddy]

down for me as well on Sprint in NYC.

 

[coolfactor]

Got a FaceTime multi-hour call going between Canada and Singapore right now. Working great, no problems. Maybe it's just the initial sign-in process that's broken, but established connnections aren't affected.

The video and audio quality, and connection handling is better than Skype.
