Thousands of users have reported issues with American cell services as a result of AT&T outages. All around the nation, reports of disruptions to American cell services surfaced on Thursday morning.
Thousands of reports from users of various networks were shown on the outage tracking website DownDetector.com after 4:00 AM EST (9:30 AM GMT).
AT&T has reportedly received thousands of reports mentioning hotspots in the east and south, according to DownDetector.
People complain that SOS alarms on their phones prevent them from making calls or accessing services. It is unclear what is causing it. The BBC has requested comments from a number of operators.
AT&T is responding to online customer concerns, even if network-related problems have not yet received much attention.
Verizon is one of the networks that DownDetector notifies, and it notified BBC that its network is operational. This suggests that after making fruitless attempts to get in touch with customers of other providers, customers were reporting issues.
T-Mobile claims that while its network is usually operational, consumers who are experiencing problems may find it difficult to make outgoing calls to other networks. There are also some customers experiencing issues with US Cellular, Cricket Wireless, and Consumer Cellular AT&T.
All users are impacted when using calls, messages, and the internet; the majority of complaints point to a lack of service or a signal that is not visible.
Major cities with high population densities, like Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Atlanta, are impacted, based on the DownDetector heatmap.
AT&T Even 911 emergency services are unavailable in some locations. In an emergency, officials recommend using a landline, social media, or a cell phone from a different provider.
