Some AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Customers Report Issues With Calls [Update: Fixed]

[MacRumors]

There appears to be an outage with at least one U.S. cellular carrier, with customers unable to place or receive calls. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon customers have been complaining about the issue on social networks, and there are also reports of outages on the Down Detector website.

According to a statement from AT&T, the outage is affecting calls between carriers in the United States. All of the major carriers are working to restore service.

There is a nationwide issue that is affecting the ability of customers to complete calls between carriers. The carriers are working as quickly as possible to diagnose and resolve the issue.”

Customers affected have been reporting dropped calls and an inability to hear the person they're attempting to communicate with.

Update: AT&T says that the interoperability issue has been fixed, and that it worked with other carriers to solve the problem.

Update 2: T-Mobile has clarified that its network was not down. From a T-Mobile spokesperson: "We are not experiencing an outage. We are seeing Down Detector increases with other providers, so this likely could be challenges our customers are having connecting with users on other networks."

Is this a recent outage or just a general statement?

Having both a Verizon and AT&T cell phone, I think outage is their normal state. Or just so crappy, it should classify as an outage.

It is not clear which carrier is experiencing problems, as a dropped call from a customer with an issue could cause the person on the other end to think it was their own carrier.

The greatest number of reports on Down Detector are from AT&T users, so it is possible that the problem originates there, but Verizon's outage page does say it is looking for reports of an issue in New York.

Oh no the sky is falling

Too many hacks the past 12 months in general.

Healthy infrastructure in our great nation

That's why you call a business landline number and not an AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile mobile number.

I did and both T-Mobie and Mint Mobile and Verizon are all working just fine.

Must be AT&T. Both work and personal been having issues for 2 weeks. Work in field service and it’s bad enough I have to call tech support but then they can’t hear me. 4 bars of service.

Nowhere to run!

That is what I was going to ask. Seems like some users from some carriers are reporting issues is an everyday occurrence

 

[coffeemilktea]

People still make phone calls with their smartphones? Sounds cool, very retro.

 

[crisss1205]

My personal phone is Verizon and my work phone is T-Mobile.

So far I have not had any issues calling or texting anyone on those two carriers. Don’t really know that many people with AT&T.

It’s caused by the solar storms. Anybody keep up with the news? Enjoy the northern lights though while your electronics roast.

Last Thursday there was a massive Verizon outage that was curiously absent from EVERY tech news site !

I’m really getting sick of this blaming of everything on the sun…. 🤣

The powerful solar storms were back in May. We're in June now.

How NASA Tracked the Most Intense Solar Storm in Decades - NASA Science

During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and magnetic fields toward Earth, creating the strongest solar storm to reach Earth in two decades — and possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on...

Years of careful planning helped safeguard against last weekend’s severe space weather, but we still don’t know how we’d cope with a monster event

Could we see them again in June? We don't know yet. Nothing has happened yet.

A big northern lights show above the US? Maybe. Forecasters keeping an eye on early June.

Space weather forecasters say there's the potential for a dazzling display of the northern lights, but it's really too soon to know for sure.

Yes, but it stopped us from blaming everything on COVID

My ATT phone works fine, as does my Verizon phone/

Mic drop.

 

[dezinewiz]

I live in the Orlando area, and I am currently down. AT&T here. According to them, it should be back up by tomorrow.

 

[kildraik]

No need to worry. The NSA's interception node is probably just going through regularly scheduled maintenance.

I'm confident things will resolve once they're done.

 

[Zerlina]

no issues here

 

[Edsel]

I suspect foreign adversaries are testing their malware.

AT&T with latest iOS update: calls fail, calls drop. Noticed it since this afternoon.

I just thought it was the iOS update that installed last night that broke something.

To be fair, everything can be blamed on the sun. Even the mere existence of humans
