re: AT&T Major Outage Nationwide

This is great. Hope we get a whole day out of it.

Mine wasn’t either until the SOS issue. So the iOS didn’t fix anything.

I had an issue a while back with this and it was my SIM card. But I converted to eSIM around 5:30 this morning to try and get it working and that didn’t fix anything.

I’m currently at work, the guy next to me has full service with att, running faster than ever, and I’m on wifi with a big SOS

We are on Verizon for Cell phone use, but I have AT&T Fiber for internet, they were having issues in Arkansas this past weekend, enough that it made the news. Wonder if it's a similar issue this week

Russian cyberattack on critical infrastructure. We must hit them and hit them hard.

I’d love to know how far the traffic incident numbers plunge today now that everyone has nothing to do while driving but pay attention

I'd love to know what the parents and kids talked about on the way to school this morning.....the forced to look at the window and talk to each other and the parents forced to talk to their kids instead of texting and driving

Before I realized this was a national problem I called AT&T customer service to see if they could do anything. She just called me back and they literally have zero talking points for this problem. She said “I can tell you what a recent customer explained to me. The customer is a self proclaimed major science geek and she said that two highly magnetic meteors passed by earth and took out all the towers with a massive electromagnetic effect”

I told her AT&T must be so bad that even meteors want to target just their system

Well suddenly the wifi in my truck started working, which is on AT&T cellular service, but my phone is on SOS still.

This makes absolutely no sense lol

Since I detest AT&T so bad I switched to Straight talk years ago, which I believe runs on the AT&T network. I have service just like normal.

This makes me believe it's likely a coordinated software attack. They went after the big players and left the small time folks alone.

I feel sorry for people who don’t do this anyway. Talking about our surroundings in the car is the highlight of my day. Toddlers have hilarious observations.
