Surely my phone bill will reflect the hours where I didn't have service, right?
I do tech help at my library. Had a patron ask why she couldn’t get service and she was about to go to the T-Mobile store. I asked if she checked for outage reporting or used her Wi-Fi calling to call the store. Whenever there's an outage, their customers just flock to the stores. It’s crazy. Saved her a trip and had a good chat.
I went to the doctor's yesterday and I always have really bad service there, I can barely get 3G. When I was there was when the total nationwide outage happened. I just assumed I lost service but I drove all the way home and was like hm my phone just can't reconnect for some reason.
I troubleshooted it for like over an hour before I realized it was down for everyone haha. I had no data and couldn't call/text.
I have mint mobile which uses T-Mobile towers. I literally live like within 100 feet of a cell tower which is why I was so perplexed
I can barely get 3G
That's astonishing, because I read that 3G was shut down 4 years ago in the US.
Oh idk. It's rare I don't have service. I meant 4G I guess
I knew I wasn't tripping. It really was down. Good thimg I was home. :)
yeah was down for a few hours for me yesterday. up since.
It was down yesterday. I haven't had any issues today apart from their usual poor coverage.
Up for me right now, northern California.
Not here at least. Southern California.
i didnt have an issue either but the article was written yesterday
If my phone isn't working, I ain't seeing this headline.
