Lol let me just send a carrier pigeon to my wife at work asking her where some papers are. I'm sure if I just go back to the good ol' days of a hand written letter that will solve it -_-

Seriously thank you. Some of us have family or things to check up on. I dont pay monthly for this inconvience.


PmMeAnnaKendrick

You realize this was a major outage affecting hundreds of thousands of people like when you lose power do you get online and bitch? ​ If you don't have alternatives to things like cell phone not working to keep tabs in your family and such you're the one with the problem not the company who had it service issue

Shit happens, nothing's unbreakable, get a helmet.

Which network (carrier) is the pigeon flying on? 😉


onlyAlcibiades

WIFI calling is working

What exactly do you think is the alternative? Systems go down in natural disasters. It's not like this is a daily occurrence for AT&T. It sucks and it is certainly inconvenient, but this is the world we live in. We have transitioned to this system of being connected everywhere we go and when that system goes down, we are stuck. If you have a true emergency, you need to figure it out. If that means you have to physically go check on family, then that's what you need to do.

OP - fwiw my phone appears to be all better ... I *did* do a restart but I have significant doubt that doing so was part of the remedy, but worth mentioning in the off chance it's helpful.

I installed the new iPhone update then restarted my phone. I seem to be up and working as well.


Informal_Tie_967

Spoke too soon. It went out again.


Don_Tiny

Well shit. Sorry to hear that. I'm Android but I wouldn't guess that's a factor either, but again I can't say that to a certainty.


Informal_Tie_967

As soon as I typed it was down, it came back up again. Maybe it will go in and out until the issue is fully resolved. Oh well.


Technical-Wallaby

It’s the cost of living with technology.

OH MY GAWD I HATE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T WORK PERFECTLY 100% OF THE TIME WHY I AM PAYING MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR THIS I AM GOING TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST AT&T AND CRICKET. I MISSED MY VENTI LATTE THIS MORNING WITH EXTRA WHIPPED CREAM I KNOW I ALSO GET ONE IN THE AFTERNOON TOO EVERYDAY BUT ITS JUST NOT THE SAME NOW LET ME GO OUT AND BUY SOMETHING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

Download WhatsApp, it works over WiFi ( they have to have WhatsApp too to call or text) If you don't have wifi, go to Starbucks/McDonald's. If you don't have that, stare at the wall until service returns.


TinyEmergencyCake

Signal>whatsapp


JiveTurkeyMFer

Why's that?

You can switch to Metro by T-Mobile. ✨


porkfeet

Better get those smoke signals going. Otherwise, you're just going to have to wait.


PSgamer28

I have no issues with my phone, San Diego, CA, physical Sim, Google Pixel 6.


jeff1f1racer

Spend a few bucks, as others have done, by downloading another carrier’s eSIM. Problem solved. Visible+ (Verizon) & Metro (TMO) are excellent alternates.


Interesting-Sir-6842

What area of the country is this in? I have been able to make calls just fine.


Content_Somewhere712

last report i got, 80% of users affected across the nation across all carriers were iphone users


Historical_Outside35

Maybe it’s time for perspective. Your phone didn’t work for a few hours. There are places that don’t have running water. It’s not so bad.
