1. Temporary...

Probably due to solar flare, IMHO.

2. Depends.. How many morning SCAM calls do you usually get?

Sorry, but that was my momentary "silver lining..."

I've been able to get calls out in Colorado this morning, but I haven't tried outside my area... (and I have AT&T)

3. It makes it easier for them to listen to Republicans.

But don't tell anybody.

4. My trial call to Pizza Hut went thru just fine

I have Consumer Cellular... not sure what network they use anymore.

5. It's mostly AT&T, but over the US. See outage map at this site.

6. Our Verizon seems fine

expensive, but it has good coverage where we live.

7. Verizon is OK here this morning. But a couple of weeks ago

There was a major solar flare that made the news the next day and my phone had been out for about two hours at night, no service, I never had that before

8. SOS calls only, ATT Chicago suburb

Home internet works fine.

[Nittersing]

9. Read on Mastodon

about a couple with identical phones... same service (ATT) and one phone is working fine and the other has no service (SOS bars).

10. Does not appear to be affecting CO.

[mackdaddy]

11. My service is out in SE Ohio

I have Cricket which is an ATT subsidiary.

First noticed about 45 minutes ago when I picked up my phone. It had a notice of no cell service and showed no bars.

First time in two years and then just saw this.

Just came back as I was typing this, hope it stays on.
